In this post I'd like to briefly highlight the best albums from bay area bands.  I'm not going to rank them this time, and I'm going to skip Fallujah and Cyborg Octopus since I covered them in my Best 16 albums of 2016 list.  I'm also going to be skipping some of the obvious ones like Death Angel, Testament, Autopsy, Neurosis, and some small band that rhymes with ShmeShmallica (I don't want to get sued by some guy that rhymes with Shmars Shmulrich). Without further ado, here they are in no particular order.

This little turd first got skunked back in September 2014. She was out in the backyard doing her business when she ran right up to a skunk, sniffed it’s booty, and got a faceful of skunk spray. We panicked a little bit and immediately brought her into the house to wash her off, and the smell inside the house lingered for weeks.

Exactly one week later, at a completely different house, in a completely different backyard, she gets skunked again! We learned our lesson this time and cleaned her off outside the best we could before bringing her inside. It didn’t smell as bad inside this time around, but there’s just not avoiding getting that skunk smell everywhere.
