^^^ And he didn't vote for Iron Maiden!! What's going on? I think the simplest answer is usually the correct one... that's not Billy! He's been eaten by an alien!! ;) :P
Either that or rehab has changed him in more ways than one  ;)

In many ways i'm more myself than i've been in a long time, so i guess it's the alien option then... :)

But i think Killers isn't even half as good as the debut, and put against the others i just couldn't bring myself to vote for it. Too Fast For Love is an essential Glam Metal/Glam Punk album.

This one took some thought. There was so much talent in this time period that it's hard to narrow it down. My answers could have been different if I'd have voted tomorrow.

I could listen to all of those records and have a good time. Love seeing Electric Sun on the list, but not my fave from them. So:

Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin, because who doesn't love mysterious fire? Am I right?

Rose Tattoo - Assault and Battery, because who doesn't love Angry Anderson? Am I right?

Iron Maiden - Killers, because who doesn't love hard-ass rock with a punk edge to it? Am I right?

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation, because I bought this record from a guy selling them out of the trunk of his car after a show she did in New Jersey. Turned out to be her then manager. Plus, who doesn't love angry-ass punk with a hard rock edge? Am I right?

Van Halen - Fair Warning, because it sounds like hard rock and not kids trying to play hard rock. Who cares if I'm right?

It's also quite heartwarming that Rush is in 3rd place, I wasn't expecting that.

Looks like there is even more dispersion of votes here than there was on last years poll...very interesting. Naturally the top two is what is expected but after that it really gets interesting.

Just a reminder this poll closes in a few hours for those that haven't yet voted.

Looks like Mob Rules has this one parcelled up which was kinda obvious from the start. Will get interesting from hereon as I don't think Sabbath will win another poll for the remaining years. Although, in saying that they might figure prominently in 83 with Born Again.

If I have time this evening I will get the 1982 poll underway.

Cheers!
