I think, starting next week, I'll do a weekly(or try to do a weekly) blog where I take a band's albums and rank them from what I consider the 'worst' to the best. (Worst is in quotes because there are some bands where I enjoy the whole discography, so 'worst' is relative here; something has to be last.)
I'll make sure to point out if I'm dealing with a band who's discog is all gold standard stuff, or if they have some great mixed in with mid, or if some stuff is downright bad(at least, IMO.) I think I'll start out with the bands that make up my top 10 albums, though not necessarily in order(as Darkthrone's discography is huge, and I think I'll start with something a bit more moderate-sized.)
I think also I'll keep it to full-length albums, noting any EPs the bands have on the side in an article. This won't be a numerical or letter-grading rating so much as just me discussing each album and why it is where it is. (Also, some of these can change depending on my mood, of course, though I'd say my top 3 to 5 with all of these bands are pretty well heavily settled.)
For those curious, here are my top 10:
So yeah. Chances are, I'm going to either start with Bathory(who I might consider my fav band, despite them having my 2nd favorite album of all time), or perhaps Mercyful Fate or Satyricon(both of which I feel like have incredibly strong, consistent, high-quality discographies.) That said, I think 1349 and Emperor do as well, so they could also be in the running. I'd like to eventually do all of these. Some will be more obvious than others, while some bands might actually surprise people(particularly Satyricon and Sodom, though more the former than the latter.)
I'll also try to come up with a catchy name for it.
If it works out for me(and I don't see a shiny object and think of something else), I might try a Game Rank series after it!
