GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1983

[Phylactery]

I'll have my list finalised by the end of Saturday. Thought you'd be leaving this open a bit longer tbh. Didn't think we had that many votes.

 

[no country for old wainds]

we have 25 lots of votes, and a couple people said they weren't participating (plus @Elric of Melniboné and @Sword of Kalki have vanished). still haven't heard anything from @Serjeant Grumbles or @I-TEND-TO-DIE i don't think - i'm assuming they aren't interested - other than that it's just you. i'd like to do the results sunday if possible as i have a busy week after that.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

He probably left his list next to his Hall of Fame votes. Like a true bum.

 

[Phylactery]

1. Mercyful Fate - Melissa
2. Slayer - Show No Mercy
3. Satan - Court in the Act
4. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
5. Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
6. Sortilege - Sortilege
7. Hellhammer - Satanic Rites
8. Warlord - Deliver Us
9.. Loudness - The Law of the Devil's Land
10. Manowar - Into Glory Ride

[Master_Yoda77]

I don't want to get into including demos and EPs otherwise I'd never see the fucking light of day. I would have included that Sortilege EP if I did, though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

'bourreau' is such a great song. most of the EP is v good but if it was all on that level it'd be a lot higher on my list.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

We got Sirens in, gentlemen!

[no country for old wainds]

there's a huge gulf between the top seven and the three i've just posted. you could add together the points of these three and you'd still only have 4.5 more points than #7 got, and less than #6.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Does not bode well for some of my top picks....

 

[CiG]

I'm very okay with these results so far.

 

[Baroque]

Manowar is appropriately in the shit tier, Savatage should have been higher, at least it made it tho
