If they metal enough to be on metal-archives, than they should be on this list.

Otherwise, I will delete it.

Don't be obtuse. 'Apocalyptic Raids' counts, and that only has four songs, and 'Queensryche' is at LEAST as classic as that, if not more so. It has two of Queensryche's classic songs at least, and they never appeared on any other release. The 'Queensryche' EP should definitely qualify for this list.

I suppose it counts more than Faith No More does.

You're telling me this counts but this doesn't?

You better fucking believe it. Otherwise Andy Dufresne will find something in his hole for a month.

And that most certainly does not count as metal.

No idea who Andy Dufresne is, but point taken. I still think 'Queensryche' oughtta count though. ~_~

A dim memory is suggesting to my brain that it's Tim Robbins' character in 'The Shawshank Redemption'. But I don't entirely trust it.

You're right, ordinarily it wouldn't be retarded. Except that some EPs of equal length and significance ARE included. So what's slightly retarded here is picking and choosing between EPs of all original material. Either they should all count, or they all don't. I think the only ones which definitely shouldn't are covers EPs, live EPs, and EPs that are basically just slightly longer album singles with more b-sides.

If you're going to count Rush's Moving Pictures, it really should. But whatever, I don't post here enough to argue or care. Also, there's other albums on my list that aren't really any more heavy/metal than that Journey record, you just either don't know or care.
