They will post one album a day throughout July

Today, the countdown begins at #30

Triumph-Allied Forces

I would've expected this to make the Top 10!

If Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad and Protest the Hero don't show up on this list it is completely invalid.

The Tea Party should be in there somewhere as well.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 01, 2011, 12:13:48 PM »

Unexpect BETTER be there.

I played the shit out of my Allied Forces album to the point I needed to buy it again. Great album.

yorost · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2011, 02:01:31 PM »

Surprised Allied Forces is so low for a hard rock thread, but I suppose you're including metal. What about prog? I want to see Saga.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #6 on:** July 01, 2011, 02:33:53 PM »

So not cool of them to start this before me and skydivingninja get to go.

I know!! Now you'll both have to take Honeymoon Suite's, "The Big Prize" off your list.

wolfking · « **Reply #8 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:06:50 PM »

Bravewords always put together good lists, I'll follow. Haven't heard much Triumph, I should check them out.

TAC · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2011, 05:29:27 PM »

Wolf, Allied Forces would be a great classic album for you.

Agreed

I wonder if Rush will make the list.

That's like asking if -- I don't know -- the quadratic equation or something would make the top 30 of Math.

I know you were just joking...

Only on a prog forum would you see that comparison being made.

Can't disagree with that point, err, I mean... zero-dimensional object.

I'm from Canada, so this will be interesting. Triumph is amazing!! Obviously there will be some Rush in the list; hoping for some obscure stuff like "Coney Hatch" or "Sword- Metalized"

PlaysLikeMyung · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2011, 07:18:43 AM »

2112 or Moving Pictures is number 1. I'm calling it now

I had both of those albums when I was a kid.

Triumph kicked ass. I've seen Rik Emmett about 5 times solo. He still kicks ass. if you liked that snippet, check this one out. Classic, classic song.

A top 30 of math...that would make for an interesting thread.

lonestar · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:51:30 PM »

As stated above, Triumph kicked ass. Saw them three times, and Emmit once. One of the most balls out shows ever. Should be an interesting list, but Moving pictures will take the top spot.

29. Into Eternity - The Scattering of Ashes

https://www.bravewords.com/news/164809

I actually picked this up a few weeks ago. Impressive musically and vocally but it didn't really click with me.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2011, 06:14:37 AM »

My nephew after seeing them with DT wouldn't stop talking to me like the lead singer sings. He'd growl on the phone "Hello........ and then in the high falsetto "Uncle Jooooooooe!"

jjrock88 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2011, 07:21:30 AM »

I just discovered Into Eternity after Iced Earth announced their new lead singer. Eh, doesn't really do anything for me. Bring on Helix, Anvil, Saga, More Triumph, Sword, Coney Hatch, and of course, the mighty Rush!!

pain of occupation · « **Reply #25 on:** July 03, 2011, 05:55:14 PM »

i'm from canada but dont automatically think it'll be interesting.

scattering of ashes, hey? ...guess that means there'll be three into eternity submissions as everyone knows Dead or Dreaming and Buried in Oblivion both smoke SoA.

Zook · « **Reply #26 on:** July 03, 2011, 06:08:28 PM »

I was hoping Into Eternity would have a spot on this list, but Buried In Oblivion is way better than The Scattering Of Ashes. Of course, if SoA had better production (better sounding drums, audible bass) it could rival it.

28) WOODS OF YPRES - Against The Seasons: Cold Winter Songs From The Dead Summer Heat (Krackenhaus - 2002)

27) GORGUTS - Obscura (Olympic - 1998)

Never heard of either of these bands.

Woods of Ypres are pretty good.

26. Coney Hatch-s/t

When I found out they were opening for Maiden on the Piece Of Mind tour, I went out and bought this tape, to familiarize my self with them before I saw them. I don't really remember a lot about it though.

I'm sorry, but how Allied Forces is behind any of these

Lists = edgy. There not that many bands from hard rock/metal to fill this list.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 05, 2011, 03:06:23 PM »

Coney Hatch is just a great straight up no frills hard rock band. Good pick!
