Most Influencing Metal Albums

These are few of the metal albums which have influenced me the most over the course of 20 years.

1. Ram It Down by Judas Priest : The albums which propelled me into metal. I have enjoyed this album so much I had refused to hear anything else for around 6 months.

2. ..And Justice For All by Metallica : I regard this as the best metal album ever.

3. Korn by Korn : Its Nu-metal but who cares. Its an excellent album with emotional swings you cannot find anywhere else. And its heavy.

4. Dreaming Neon Black by Nevermore : This is heavy thrash with a emotional depth which completely immerses you.

5. Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera : Album cover says it all ( punch in the face ). The most aggresive shit for its time. Still gets my blood boiling.

6. Close To The World Below by Immolation : Its angry, intricate, extreme, brilliant death metal. Got me back into death metal when I had started to lose interest.

7. Individual Thought Patterns by Death : Excellent technical death metal but unfair to single this one out. All the albums by Death are brilliant.

8. Angel and the Dark River by My Dying Bride : This album hooked me into Doom for 2 years. Its probably not the best doom album but its one of the best.

9. Countdown to Extintion by Megadeth : I should probably put this album next to And Justice for All just that I have not heard it as much but still it is one myfavourite.  I do like this a notch more than Rust In Peace.

10. Altars of Madness by Morbid Angel : Definately  the most insane, technical and enjoyable death metal ever.

11. God Hates Us All by Slayer : Yes, I am not putting Reign in blood. This is definately the most aggresive Slayer album and got in interested in Slayer again. 

Freecycle - Doorway to reducing your carbon footprint

Freecycle is a grassroots movement  ( in UK ) of people who are giving (and getting) still-usable stuff for free in their own towns. Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use them. 

Its goal is to keep usable items out of landfills. By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth

You can visit Freecyle : http://www.uk.freecycle.org/groups/toon/

This is particularly useful for people who are moving homes or students who have just moved to UK.

Families have set up their entire home from using things from freecyle. You can get everything here

1. Free Furniture

2. Free Color TVs

3. Free Electronics / Computers

4. Free Baby's good including stroller's, moses basket etc.

5. CDs and DVDs

For people who want to move home can find a way to get rid of their bulky old furniture.

Old mobile phones, electronics which generally end up in landfill can extend their life.

Baby's good which are of no use when they grow up can find use.

Hope more people start using it as it is the most effective way to save the planet.
