Slayer

and that's who the Twins have to rely on to avoid a one-off tomorrow

also, Jim Rome did a fairly humorous bit running down all the things that were happening in the world the last time the Brewers made the playoffs I don't even think either of our resident Brewers fans were alive at that point

Hasn't that been the story for the Bluejays this whole decade?

TGE is on my Top 20 Metal CDs of the 00's (so far), for sure As for EOR, did you only dislike it because of the awful muddled production of the first release? If so, they did release a properly produced version of the CD at the same time as TGE. I couldn't even listen to the muddled version more than once, but the proper version is a good CD. Not as good as the albums prior and succeeding it, but good nonetheless

Isn't this the type of mentality we're trying to steer away from?

As noted earlier, NBA on NBC is the gold standard for sport themes After that, tough call. I do really enjoy the college football themes for both CBS and ESPN. Speaking of college, I'm surprised that the classic NCAA on CBS only got one mention so far, and in passing at that (Here's the best quality version of the song I could find on Youttube, though I don't know why someone chose to run it over pics of some girl). The NFL and MLB themes are also good, although much like Czech I prefer the 90's CBS NFL theme to their current one

Death albums 1) Symbolic 1a) Human (just too close to call it #2) 2) ITP 3) Leprosy 4) SH 5) TSOP 6) SBG

At least all of the one Brewers fan on the board has something to look forward to

Bear in mind that after the 02 Rose Bowl was also when Mike Price (who made them a short-term relevant program to begin with) left

Looks like those balls are gonna be blue (red) for another year

What the hell, Twins? You can sweep the White Sox, but can't put away the Royals in your home park?

Based off your top five, which show you're largely a power and "opera" metal fan, I'm not sure if you would like PL, especially based off your opinion on their live performance. One caveat is, much like Frank Zappa, they never keep the same sound for more than two albums or so and really like to change things up... one of the reasons I love them, but can be a turnoff for quite a few. PL discography Three stylistically different starting points - Draconian Times, One Second and Paradise Lost. Check out those three and we'll go from there based on what you like. As for Nightwish, I actually enjoy them and would certainly put Wishmaster or Once (probably the former) on my top 20 list for this decade. Unfortunately, as with many bands before them, the fallout and split with Tarja has proven a problem for both sides. Tarja's solo effort was awful, and I disagree strongly with the internet metal communities love for DPP. I didn't like that one at all. The new singer's (whose name I can't even bother to look up) voice fails miserably as far as working with the old-style epic songs. Much as it pains me to say this, this is one case where a metal band taking a "poppier" direction might be a good thing, as her voice was much better suited for those types of songs off DPP.

I was too busy paying attention to baseball to catch any of that Michigan game... kick myself for that one

In other news, ECU's credibility will be going out the window today as they're down 41-24 to one win Houston, with two minutes left there

I'm fairly miffed that we're not getting that game here right now ...even though I wouldn't care about the game otherwise

Paradise Lost My Dying Bride Death Testament Kreator One funny thing to me is that I could easily throw out a top five list, but I would spend way more time than necessary if I had to flesh it out to top ten list, mostly because I'd be worried about who I was excluding at that point I'll also make note that, in spite of my username, Slayer is neither my favorite metal band nor even my favorite thrash band (though they would be third on a thrash list behind the above two)... looking at Agent's list above, it seems that applies to him as well

and he was only 20 in that video My favorite death metal band, and one of my top five metal bands, period.

Gotta stick with the original version on that one I really wanted to like TSOP... the music is some of the best Death ever made, but I can't fucking stand Chuck's change in vocal style on that album, so for the most part I just end Death's discography with Symbolic

dear god don't let this turn into a "Show Off Your Progeny" thread

Fuckin' sensitivity lectures from Curry?
