GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1983

[Baroque]

Europe over Metal Magic? Pfft

But really TB likes Dio tho

 

[crimsonfloyd]

has TB ever professed a liking for CRYSTAL LOGIC though? given his tastes i wouldn't be surprised if those genuinely were the only two albums he likes from this year (aside from mamas boys obviously)

Yes, he has.

i think the in-crowd will push Crystal Logic to the top spot. I like the album a lot, but i dont think ill be giving any points to it just because of the ridiculous fact that it'll probably end up beating Show No Mercy, Kill Em All, etc. Which is truly sad imho.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Personally, I have no problem with either of those albums getting beaten by Crystal Logic if enough people vote in its favor. To be honest, I'd rather see people vote sincerely instead of being coerced into voting for something they don't like because it was "influential". If you want to put Sortilège above Kill 'Em All, by all means, go ahead. If you feel that you enjoyed Heavy Load more than Show No Mercy, great! Put it on, if you want.

Besides, I'm actually quite liking the variety in a lot of people's lists so far and this is coming from a guy whose top 10 list for this year changes quite frequently. Besides, if people want to get into more varied stuff from the '80s instead of the usual names being dropped on mainstream sites, that's a pretty good thing in my book. Getting someone to find something that they wouldn't have found otherwise is a great thing.

 

[Baroque]

In terms of metal history his top two really are the winners here. But yeah it's sort of more interesting if things are less black and white and people vote based on their own tastes and not what is historically most important

 

[Master_Yoda77]

From what I've seen I do not see Crystal Logic beating Show No Mercy, but it looks like it's going to place in the top 5 where it very well fucking deserves.

Also, I should note that Show No Mercy and Kill Em All are my favorite albums from each band.

 

[The Ozzman]

How the fuck does a Glamtera album rank above anything Dio released? That album is alright but shit..

Europe over Metal Magic? Pfft

No it's definitely justified, and I enjoy both.

Delete your account.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

anyone that enjoys either of those two garbage albums should be deleting their accounts.

the fact that europe has made a few of the lists here is mindboggling tbh. only @ ultimate metalz.

How? Europe was just as historically important, and arguably it was an even more novel album being that hardcore may have eventually ended up creating thrash without metal. Europe's S/T is a landmark power metal album.

Wrong.

 

[Vilden]

Why?

 

[CiG]

The first two Europe albums are killer. It's retarded that they're not in the Encyclopedia Metallum database.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Second to the exclusion of Protest the Hero, probably the most retarded decision on it.

 

[CiG]

I don't give a shit about that band so I suppose it's not so grievous to me personally.

 

[ClichéUserName]

lists bros? @ClichéUserName

Nah skipping it, my list just isn't big enough.

 

[no country for old wainds]
