Anything from Bull of Heaven. Then they'd live theoretically forever.

Album 915

Wintersun - Time I
Year: 2012

Wintersun came out and blew us all away with their debut in 2004, and then promised us they would blow it out of the water with their next album two years later. Of course Time I didn't release in 2006, but was stuck in production for what seemed like forever. Hype came and went, promises were made and broken and the years passed and the album was split into two, with the first part being Time I, and Time II scheduled to be released in 2013. Spoiler alert: that never happened and I'm not sure if we'll ever get Time II. In the context of thousands of disappointed metal fans this album could never have lived up to the hype. In the context of me not having paid attention and listening to it now this is every bit the masterpiece we were promised, all is forgiven Jari (even if we'll never get Time II).

Thank you! That's basically the point of this list, to get people to explore the kind of music that I enjoy. Of course it means it is and will be dominated by Jazz(mostly Hard Bop and Fusion), Prog Rock, Hard Rock and Extreme metal with maybe some folk and other stuff I find interesting here and there. With the limitations also ensuring that it's not just dominated by the same bands over and over (I think I'd have at least 17 Zappa Albums, although I'm fairly sure I can sneak in one more with the mothers) and it at the same time challenges me to explore (or re-explore) a huge variety of music.
