MMA Collaborator's Top Albums of 2015

And 66/100 on power metal. Happy with that; I wasn't expecting to beat Travis on this one.

About half of them are on my itunes to be listened to at some point (Savage Circus, Rage, Heaven's Gate, Pyramaze, Guardians of Time, Firewind, Mob Rules, Magic Kindgom), then there's some like, Thy Majestie, Fairyland and Forcentury which I definitely have to look into soon, since I like what I heard from them before, a couple others I'm vaguely interested in but don't consider a priority (White Skull, Black Abyss), then there's Tad Morose who I don't like from what I've heard, and From the Depth which I tried once and switched the album off after a couple tracks because it didn't look too good.

I only got 12%, although there were many albums that I've been meaning to listen to. Should really do that, but there's just so much music to listen to. 

Out of everyone on MMA I should definitely get the top score, yeah. There's always a chance some guest will come in and score higher, but even that is probably doubtful.

Sadly, I was too busy with other things last year to listen to much music, so I had to opt out of this project this time around. I just want to say that adg211288 did an extremely good job with this list. I am looking forward to contributing to the 2016-list.

By the way, the strong representation of black metal seems to represent a shift, I think. In the beginning of MMA's existence, I think collabs by far preferred progressive metal, but over the years, things have become more diverse, which can only be a positive sign.

I got 7/100, lol! Not shocking, though, since I rarlely listen to Black Metal. If we ever do power metal on the other hand, I'll be ashamed if I get less than 50%, and not overly happy if I don't get at least 75%.

I should make a separate topic for these rather than keep high-jacking this one, but I'm going to keep using List Challenges to put the MMA name out there.

^ I hardly ever find anything I want locally in the shops. It's got to the point where I rarely waste my time looking and just order online.

^ You need to put a stop to that, spending your record money! It's a disgrace!
