Sin After Sin's really good, but it doesn't seem to stand out in any way. It's just... solid. No major flaws, but no real highlights either imo.

Awesome Joan Baez cover though.

Painkiller is pretty decent, but isn't a patch on the earlier stuff for me. My personal favourite is 'Screaming for Vengeance', every track is classic on there, I love it. Got the live DVD too which rocks!

Sad wings of destiny and HBFL are very close seconds.

Pretty much my thought on it as well.

I'm not the biggest fan of JP but I love Painkiller and feel it's one of the best Metal albums. And Love Defenders of Faith, so I picked those 2.

British Steel, SFV and Angel of Retribution are good 2. Never heard the rest.

 

[no country for old wainds]

1. sad wings
2. stained class
3. sin after sin
4. rocka rolla
5. defenders of the faith

any and all aspiring musicians should be forced to listen to the top 2 a hundred times before writing or playing a note.

What's so great about Sad Wings? Óbviously was a major (if not THE major) influence in steering metal away from its blues oriented roots, but it hasn't aged well IMO. Dreamer Deceiver is brilliant, probably my favourite song of theirs, and Tyrant is good, but songs like Genocide and The Ripper are just cheese, and by modern standards just dumb metal stereotypes.

I went with Stained Class and Defenders of the Faith.


Also, just for the record DoF>SfV

nonsense, it's pretty much note-for-note perfect.

The two obvious choices here are Sad Wings and Stained Class.

+1

I still stand by that 1000% percent and the fact that Painkiller has so many votes is still upsetting.

 

[Estellise Sidos Heurassein]

It's either Sad Wings of Destiny or Stained Class. Sin After Sin is also really good.

I would say Painkiller, British Steel and Killing Machine (or Hell Bent for Leather if you prefer) are all overrated.

I've never heard Rocka Rolla.

I don't recall where I got into a discussion over the song "Last Rose of Summer", but I have to say that it has really grown on me lately. Listening to it on its own outside the context of the rest of the album gives me a whole lot more appreciation for it. I definitely count it as among the album's better songs now.

Really? Painkiller?

Sad Wings and Stained Class for me.

 

[Psychonaut]

Sad Wings, Stained Class, and Sin After Sin. I love painkiller but nothing compares to the tone of the early stuff.

Painkiller and Nostradamus are the only ones I've heard. I didn't really like Nostradamus and I find Painkiller tolerable. I don't go back to it often I only heard it give or take two times perhaps. I guess I'll have to find some time to figure out which album is the best one. Please rec me the better albums by them and I'll check them out.

That is all? Alright I'll get back to this poll in a week. I'm a bit lazy at the moment.
