sooooo glad someone finally put whitechapel - this is exile on the 08 list. you pwn.
check out the faceless' new album planetary duality as well.

This is more of my kinda list, glad someone recognizes All Shall Perish, Winds of Plague, Whitechapel and Bleeding Through (their album is called Declaration and not Sister Charlatan by the way!)
Posted by John on 1/6/2009 @ 5:25:29 PM
Easily the best list up there. All Shall Perish definitely deserves a spot up there. Their new album was amazing. And for him to recognize Winds of Plague makes me happy too because they are still making their way up, but every time I listen to that album, every song makes me want to go fall a tree with my bare fists. I think it's funny, yet fitting that Lil Wayne's album is up there. I can respect the guy, and through all the bullshit out there, I think he is actually good at what he does. Great list from a great metal hero himself.

Uhm, I assume that by "Meshuggua" you mean "Meshuggah" and the title of the record is "obZen" (bleed is a track)? Either way, kickass list, although it would have been perfect if Mesh would've been @ no 1! \m/
Posted by Maria Melo on 1/6/2009 @ 6:41:01 PM
Awesome, Killer list!!! And i´m really happy it is Rob Flynn´s list!!! Hell yeaaaaahhhhh! \m/
Posted by t.j. on 1/6/2009 @ 7:14:52 PM
Good list but now the wife wants me to listen to lil wayne
Posted by Marianne Jacobsen on 1/6/2009 @ 8:20:21 PM
Flynn picked DM because they let them tour with them so that he could connect with a bigger audience prior to the release of Machinehead's current album.
Posted by Mark on 1/6/2009 @ 9:16:41 PM
Finally someone who doesnt just put garbage,that slipknot album sucked. Nice picks with All Shall Perish,Whitechapel,Winds Of Plague,and Trivium. What about The Acacia Strain,Sworn Enemy,Terror,and Woe Of Tyrants? Great albumd from underrated bands but still good list Robb.
Posted by Opaq on 1/6/2009 @ 11:54:07 PM
Desperate Housewives. nice.
Posted by Jason Tyler on 1/6/2009 @ 11:57:50 PM
Fuck ya! ALL SHALL PERISH!!! Their new album rulz, nicely done...

i am genuinely sorry to have to say thism especially about a list that my lifetime hero has chosen.. but WTF are trivium doing on there? seriously.. was 2008 such a slow year at RR? i would rather hear MH play an entirely acoustic set of backstreet boys covers than EVER have to hear trivium play again or listen to another 1 of their albums.. im jst holdin my breath for the next MH album, then maybe, the last few non-understanding people will truly open their eyes to just how metal SHOULD be
Posted by Jack Lupino on 1/7/2009 @ 4:49:45 AM
Hell yeah! now that's what i call a LIST, All shall perish, Winds Of Plague... Good stuff!
Posted by Bob on 1/7/2009 @ 7:41:28 AM
Glad to see you watched Zeitgeist too
(didn't even know there was an appendum!)

Great list, but kinda expected ;)
Posted by mufuka on 1/7/2009 @ 10:47:24 AM
Ha ha! Lil Wayne! Everyone said Carter 3 was the best of the year, but if you're gonn ajust trust popular opinion than you'll hav emissed out on T.I.'s Paper Trail and Game's LAX, whih for me... waaaay better than Carter 3, which is notably, pretty awesome.
Posted by Mike Pagan on 1/7/2009 @ 12:52:35 PM
i knew robb was the man!!!!!!!!!!! the new all shall perish is really the only that needs to be on the list at every spot 1-10!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by François on 1/7/2009 @ 1:11:53 PM
Rob loves Prison Break and Desperate Housewives... I'd love to watch some with him to hear his comments lol

Rob you're the man, I love you so much I bought a 5150 lol
Posted by bas on 1/7/2009 @ 1:18:24 PM

Posted by Esteban on 1/7/2009 @ 3:37:17 PM
Hi men.....I'm Esteban Coloma...I'm your F**king fan I'm from Quito/Ecuador....My BEST HOPE IS SEE ALL ROADRUNNER BANDS like...MACHINE HEAD, SLIPKNOT, HATEBREED, STILL REMAINS, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE with JESSE, DEVILDRIVER....& more metal & hardcore bans.....I love you guys & I love the f**king music what you made.....I hope to see MACHINE HEAD in my country very soon.....
Posted by Mart_Verum on 1/7/2009 @ 3:41:48 PM
Robb, you're a man! But why you didn't choose VERUM - "Threat of Damnation". This band kicks ass! See ya in London.

Cheerzz!
Posted by Chuckdeezul on 1/7/2009 @ 4:38:01 PM
Flynn, H U G E fan of Machine Head and everything you do BUT Lil' Wayne???? Metallica?? Metallica has not been the same since !!!!! CLIFF !!!!! Lil' Wayne has not put out ANY good music. La Coka Nostra (Ill Bill) is SICK also.
Posted by EMILIOT on 1/8/2009 @ 12:19:54 AM
awesome list with all shall perish and whitechapel but The new FACELESS album was just so bad ass should of had it at 1.
Posted by Rene on 1/8/2009 @ 1:04:38 PM
What a bullshit comment about Death Magnetic only being on Rob's list because MH can tour with Metallica?? Come on, open your ears, forget the last five albums Metallica and listen open-minded. It's such a good album! And i hate everything they put out after the black album. You practically say that MH's a sell-out... I really like the fact that Rob digs Meshuggah, for me personally the best band i've ever heard
Posted by JD120 on 1/8/2009 @ 7:59:06 PM
I think he picked Death Magnetic because he actually LIKED IT?!?! Is that a possiblity there? Touring had NOTHING to do with it, I can pretty much guarantee that! Bad comment... I enjoyed the album. Not my favorite, but it was good! Slipknot, technically, has a fantastic album there! WhiteChapel... in-fucking-credible!... as for the ego-maniacal Trivium... They might as well be at the same spot as Metallica, because they are Metallica Jr!... I'm pretty sure Matt Heafy wants to be James Hetfield! But their music is still great! Good choices up there!
Posted by Anthony on 1/12/2009 @ 12:41:28 PM
Fuckin hell rob wat is lil wayne on der for , dats complete bullshit
Posted by mihau on 1/17/2009 @ 7:33:09 AM
no clue what planet Robb Flynn, Machine Head lives on but "6. La Coka Nostra - A Brand You Can Trust" is not released and probably won't for years.
Posted by Slaughterhouse on 1/20/2009 @ 1:51:35 PM
Rob Flynn is the shit! All Shall Perish is amazing and Chris Storey is sickening good! Good call on Whitechapel and Meshuggah
Posted by Noodle on 1/31/2009 @ 4:19:15 PM
ok so if the Robb Flynn can appreciate trivium then why cant these hardcore metal fans (or so they say). it just prove my theory people hate trivium because they are popular
Posted by w on 2/10/2009 @ 3:05:32 PM
i have to agree with bloodgutter. all shall perish, bleeding through, and winds of plague are masterpieces. bleeding through is by far the best band out there right now, my opinion.
Posted by Andrea on 6/4/2009 @ 9:58:55 PM
Thanks Robb, 4 new books to add to my list.
