Vote For Your Five Best

[Charger]

Looks like Heaven And Hell could rightfully win this...BUT what if we get a tie? Do we have to put those two against each other then on a seperate poll?

[Jack the Stripper]

Yeah might have to do that Charger or maybe their can be joint winners that both go in?

Only 8 members have voted so far though.

Vyn, Sicko, Thel, 8bit, JS, Scott, Diiscman possibly only one of you have voted, so would be good if the rest of you joined the voting.

[Charger]

Yes...come on people get some voting done! It's your civic duty after all!

[Vyn]

Thanks for the notification in the other thread Jack, I hadn't even seen this!

So, lots to choose from, all of them worthwhile.

I went with:

AC/DC - Back in Black. Brian Johnson's freshman outing with the boys set the template for every damn song they did thereafter. But man did it rock in all of its teen aged misogynistic glory.

Thin Lizzy - Chinatown. Not their best, but kept the flag flying. I recall many fans at the time not liking it much, but looking back I think that had more to do with them being butt hurt about Moore leaving than anything.

Saxon - Wheels of Steel. The title track recommends it all on its own.

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz. Same reason as Heaven and Hell got the nod.

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell. Same reason as Blizzard of Ozz.

[Billy Underdog]

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz. Same reason as Heaven and Hell got the nod.

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell. Same reason as Blizzard of Ozz.

Such great reasoning

Already voted a while ago.

Back In Black - AC/DC
Heaven And Hell - Black Sabbath
Cultosaurus Erectus - BOC
Frost And Fire - Cirith Ungol
Blizzard Of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne 

[Vyn]

Such great reasoning 

I typed a 29 page response detailing my reasoning behind picking Heaven and Hell as well as Blizzard of Ozz, but I fat-fingered the posting process and accidentally deleted it instead. But it basically said the same thing, so I said fuck it.

Thanks for your votes fellas, still a couple of days for the rest of you's to vote.

Just on those that haven't yet voted, it occurred to me today that I failed to mention Axefiend on the list as someone that hadn't yet voted. Maybe if was a case of out of sight out of mind as it seems he hasn't been around for quite awhile.

First and foremost, I hope al is ok with Axefiend. It always makes you wonder if everything is ok in one's life when they were seemingly quite an active poster then suddenly just disappear for weeks and months.

This is a great idea!

I went with the following:
Back in Black
Heaven and Hell
Blizzard
British Steel
Women and Children First

[JSTHECONQUEROR]

I voted for these 5
Blizzard
Heaven and Hell
Cultösaurus Erectus
Frost and Fire
Ace of Spades

1980 - A watershed year in metal and and hard rock. So many great albums were released that would come to be viewed as all-time classics!

But which album is the greatest from that year?

Vote for what you consider to be the best five albums of 1980.

Once this poll is done and we have a winner we'll move onto 1981 and so on...

Then we'll put all the winners from the years 80-89 up against each other to determine the greatest metal/hard rock album from 80's.

I think I've got the list covered and maybe a little too much but it saves someone posting "man you left off this or that" 

Poll will run for 5 days before closing.

Vote away 


Mod Edit:
Beat -> Best

So is the winner here with the most votes or are we taking the top 5 and doing a hurt/heal type of thing?

[Typhon]

^^^^^^
I think it is 1 winner for each year.

[Zzzptm]

I'd just like to see the top 5 vote-getters of each year, then we get the top 50 metal albums of the 80s.

[BOGBLAST]

I have voted:

AC/DC
BS
SAXON
JP
VH

[Jack the Stripper]

Sorry Bog, For some reason I assumed you had already voted otherwise I would've definitely mentioned your name
