The countdown to end all countdowns


Tomorrow, dear readers, a countdown of my thirty favorite albums of the 90s will begin on this very blog.

There are three rules to follow in making such a list:

1. Only "real" albums. In other words no live albums, bootlegs, compilations etc.
2. Since this is a blog for heavy music, only punk, rock, various forms of metal etc. are to be included.
3. Only one album per artists. This is a tricky one, but absolutely essential. If this rule is ignored the list runs the risk of consisting of one album after another with one's favorite band. This is disastrous, uninspired and downright lame.

Let me warn you though real quick: There will a healthy serving of grunge. Just sayin'. There will be grunge.

Until my list starts tomorrow you can skip on down to Inside My Brain which is currently counting down the top 30 Ramones songs.

(mp3) Megadeth - Countdown to extinction (demo version)
Studio version available on Countdown To Extinction (1992)

Love the various blogs. But if your list only includes "real" albums, why kick it off with a demo?

I haven't kicked anything off yet, this was just an announcement.

Besides: Megadeth would never be on my list, "real" albums or not.

I fucking hate Megadeth, I just wanted a song with "Countdown" in the title.

Looking forward to this, god I love countdowns. Can't wait to see what ends up as no. 1.

Får man skriva på svenska? Ser fram emot listan. Såg att två av mina favoriter är med, redan! :)

Svenska går alldeles utmärkt. :)
