Three of my picks in the top ten, not bad. Not that I voted for it, but I'm surprised Hate wasn't higher.

probably the only best of 2012 list that won't have title fight in the top three

Only 1 of mine (but my no. 4 & 5 picks are in there if it were top 5). Bit surprised about the no.1

@dagger, I think collectively we put the deftones in the top ten with that 1.6%, psyched for both palace shows. Good to see TGI up there too. Not a fan of any of the other bands really and atlas is yet to blow my mind but hopefully seeing them on satday might change that

I'm a massive Parkway fan, but I'm very surprised to see Atlas in the top 10. It was a weak album. Crooked teeth was far better and deserves to be higher. Disappointed Far West Battlefront didn't make it into the 10 either :/

No Every time I die? Twelve foot ninja would have to be the shittest band of all time. Apart from that it's a far better top ten than last year. Bravo

Apart from Deftones that would be my TEN WORST ALBUMS of 2012 list right there. I cant believe anyone that has grown pubes listens to Parkway Drive, Amity Affliction or House v Hurricane. Those bands alone encompass everything thats wrong with modern heavy music. I'm gonna put Slayer on and forget I read this..

@juggalo (11): Juggs mate, how are PWD and Amity on the list every year when they don't release albums every year. You're telling lies pal. Stop telling lies.
