I’ve had the idea for this thread for quite a while, so apologies if I mess this up!
I wanted to make a thread for voting for the best albums for acts that weren’t featured on HGATR. I don’t believe that HGATR is coming back, so I hope this is fine, but @Funkhouser let me know if this is a problem. I’ve put the tag on here, but apologies if this isn’t appropriate.
I loved those threads and wanted to give other acts I love which weren’t featured on there their dues. Otherwise it’s simple- post a poll of their albums, vote and discuss!
Here’s a list of the acts on HGATR threads below (under the arrow). Please check the list before posting to see if they’ve been done before. I’ve taken the list from the Converge thread, which I believe is the last one, but I couldn’t confirm, so apologies if I’ve included an act which was already on HGATR.
