From Devin Townsend's Wikipedia page:
Genres: Extreme metal, thrash metal, industrial metal, death metal, grindcore, progressive metal, progressive rock, punk rock, ambient, new age, electronic, country, classical

...well then. That's... quite the range.

Doesn't even mention his drone and noise. Hell, I think he has some symphonic, too. But progressive rock and progressive metal is his main styles.

I'm sure I'll be impressed. I'll be sure to give it a listen tomorrow.

Anyone here listen to music from the band "Sabaton"? If so, what do you think of them as music artists?

They are a good band, I like them pretty much.

I think you might need to get some more! There were some great releases in both years:

My friend got me into their music only a couple weeks ago. I like their style and the themes of the songs they sing about. What's your favourite song by them?

Top 5 would be, in random order:
Rise of Evil
Killing Ground
White Death
The Price of a Mile
The Art of War

I went through Joey Bada$$' discography (which is quite small) and I have to say I was not disappointed. He has a really cool old school vibe in his music that attracts me, along with his songwriting ability which is, admittedly, hit or miss at times. But at the times it does hit it hits hard and is very enjoyable, and even when it isn't necessarily the best writing his flow is pretty satisfying. I do have a few gripes though, like how his mixtapes are normally a few songs too long and there are a few filler songs that I personally just skip to get to the actual good material.

1) Rejex (ironically these are songs taken out from 1999)
2) 1999
3) B4.Da.$$
4) Summer Knights

Okay, so it wasn't a friend at my dads work that is getting him into a show for free. It was his friend from high school. His friend from high schools band is touring with Mindless Self Indulgence, and he can get my dad into the show for free up in Seattle.

Say what you like about Mindless Self Indulgence, but having your band tour with them isn't exactly a bad thing.

Nirvana reunites with Joan Jett, Lorde, Sonic Youth, and St. Vincent for Rock Hall of Fame? Interesting. All 4 of them sang one of their songs.

So, I'm starting to actually kinda like the new Spotify update. While the text being as overly large and whatnot as it is is a bit annoying, I feel like I can adjust to it. Though, really, that's probably my only actual complaint with it. But something else I noticed was when I drag music around on my playlist now, it doesn't take for freaking ever like it used to on my computer. It wasn't ever really a problem on the laptop I use, but it would always take forever to move things about my playlist on my computer because it crawled. Now it moves very smoothly.

It doesn't really seem like a bad update. Sure, I think it kinda killed my computer when I first started it, but it seems fine now.

Anyways, my recommendations for those years (1980, 1988) are here:
Album of the Year: Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
AC/DC - Back in Black
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Bruce Springsteen - The River
Gary Moore - G-Force
Hurriganes - 10/80
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Judas Priest - British Steel
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
Rush - Permanent Waves
Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law
Saxon - Wheels of Steel
Triumph - Progressions of Power
Whietsnake - Ready an' Willing

Album of the Year: Candlemass - Ancient Dreams
Anthrax - State of Euphoria
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear
Bolt Thrower - In Battle There Is No Law
Costello - A Little Bit Crazy
Death - Leprosy
Elvis Hitler - Disgraceland
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. 2
Manowar - Kings of Metal
Meanstreak - Roadkill
Megadeth - So Far, So Good...So What!
Metallica - ...And Justice for All
Napalm Death - From Enslavement to Obliteration
Pantera - Power Metal
Peer Günt - Fire Wire
Popeda - Hallelujaa
Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime
Stone - Stone
Tarot - Follow Me Into Madness

All of these have 90+ rating from me

TECHNICALLY, Rush's Permanent Waves was released as early as December 31, 1979, officially classifying it as a SEVENTIES album.

Can't say I'm not a bit surprised by that Rush album being your album of the year for '73. I mean, I love Rush, and that's a great album, but it's easily one of, if not their weakest overall effort. And up against all the kinds of competition from that year? Very interesting choice, I must say.

Yeah I heard that on the radio earlier. Weird, especially the part about Lorde.

Not bad, actually. I've been wanting to listen to the rest of the album Addicted for a while now.

That's quite weird,I've literally been listening to him all day and I come on here and find a discussion about him

He's my favourite metal artist of all time, although I prefer his more non-metal stuff
Ocean Machine and Addicted are the best in my opinion

Rock. More specifically, experimental/noise rock.
