I actually just went through that topic to see what I put on there. At the time, I actually was pretty hesitant to do the list because it felt like I was kinda getting tired of most of the **** I added to that list, and sure enough, I stopped listening to damn near everything on that list within a year of posting that. There's only a couple of albums on there that I still listen to (and probably none that I'd herald as a superlative masterwork), prolly like 4 or 5. Honestly, that list just feels laughably bad today and I kinda felt embarrassed looking at it.
I'll could share some samples from albums I dig today, though:

Also, you prolly won't see Ahriman ever coming back here. As much of those chat copypastas imply otherwise, even I don't talk to him very often anymore. He's pretty much moved on.
