    What's your favorite Crowbar album of the last 30 years?

      It's got to be odd fellows rest, such a good album.

      Depends on the time of year, but Broken Glass might be the one. Odd Fellows Rest is a masterpiece. The Serpent Only Lies goes fucking hard too, highly refined.
      I guess what I'm saying is I am now going to be listening to Crowbar for the rest the day.

      Crowbar is one of those bands I can't just pick one. Same with High On Fire. One week their self-titled may be my favorite. Then the next week I'll be listening to Lifesblood for the Downtrodden

      Peter's band Carnivore and the first Type O record were major influences on Crowbar and the NOLA metal scene in general, along with other young NYHC bands (AF/SOIA). Obedience Through Suffering has major Pete Steele influence.

      The Crowbar song "Symbolic Suicide" came from a conversation he had with Pete about how a failed suicide attempt isn't really a failed attempt, but a symbolic suicide where you don't actually die.
