League of Extraordinary Bloggers Weekly Theme: Mix Tape!

This week's topic: What songs were forever being looped on your car’s stereo back in high school. A cassette could only hold a dozen or so songs, so that’s the magic number of songs to list. If your car didn’t have a cassette deck in high school, go ahead and pretend it did, you punk.

This one might as well be named I Was a Teenage Metalhead.


Yep! That was me back in high school! I was a card-carrying, head-banging, all-black-wearing lover of Metal. And not just any Metal, mind you. I was was steeped in the vile pools of death/thrash Metal. The heavier the better, as far as I was concerned. So, if you want to take a peek into what ended up on my mix-tapes, and was cranked up to ear-bleeding levels in my '68 Chevy Nova, then put on your spiked wristbands and jump into the pit.

Here are my all-time favorite Metal mix-tape songs (in alphabetical order)...


 1. Anthrax - Antisocial
 2. Corrosion of Conformity - Vote With a Bullet
 3. Death - Open Casket
 4. Death Angel - Seemingly Endless Time
 5. GWAR - The Salaminizer
 6. Megadeth - Through My Darkest Hour
 7. Metallica - Damage, Inc.
 8. Pantera - Cemetery Gates
 9. S.O.D. - Kill Yourself
 10. Slayer - Angel of Death
 11. Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down
12. Testament - Practice What You Preach

    1. I did, and it was. I figured there was no sense in offending the leader of the League and besides, I also dug G-n-R and Journey. ;)

    2. Ha! It made me laugh! This week's responses have been so amazing--I've enjoyed the trips down memory lane and comparing/contrasting them with the bloggers we know through their writing today. Your list probably surprised me the most, knowing how you love to use adjectives like adorable and cuddly in your toy reviews. Collectively, we've come a looong way. ;)

    1. Ugh! I hated Deicide! Worst vocals ever! Well, second only to King Diamond. Cannibal corpse was badass, though.

    2. Haha not a King Diamond or merciful fate fan? Deicide is a little harsh vocals wise but instrumentally their pretty good, but I understand its hard to hear past the vocals.
