GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1986

[no country for old wainds]

same principle as the 2016 thread, 'cept hopefully without ten pages of korn and carly rae jepsen discussion (maybe i'm being naive lol). i decided to start with an iconic year everyone can get involved with. after this i'm probably gonna just use a randomiser to pick years, i figure some people will be left out for a while if we go chronologically.

if you struggle to remember which albums are what year, RYM's list of top '86 metal albums is your friend (here's the EPs list for those so inclined).

post your top ten, discuss etc. i don't plan to leave these open as long as the 2016 one, but you have at least a couple weeks. personally i'll be using these polls as impetus to check out some of my more glaring 'deaf spots'.

1. Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
2. Saint Vitus - Born too Late
3. Metallica - MoP
4. Slayer - Reign in Blood
5. Manilla Road - The Deluge
6. Megadeth - Peace Sells
7. Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
8. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
9. Vulcano - Bloody Vengeance
10. Nuclear Assault - Game Over

Why is Peace Sells on that RYM list twice? We all know that either Fates Warning or Manilla Road will win so why even bother with this list?



1) Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
2) Queensryche - Rage For Order
3) Slayer - RIB
4) Metallica - MOP
5) Metal Church - The Dark
6) Judas Priest - Turbo
7) Sepultura - Morbid Visions
8) Sword - Metalized
9) Megadeth - Peace Sells
10) Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

I don't listen to it a lot but I like it. There are certain NOWBHM movement related albums I tend to really like. Thanks to @audiophileguy for exposing me to them, wherever he is.

[no country for old wainds]

you're right about whiplash but are the sacrifice and sarcofago not 85 and 87 respectively?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh shit ... yeah INRI is 87, but im almost sure Torment in Fire is 86 no?

Nice, you just narrowed it down for me!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Judas Priest - Turbo

 

[EspaDa]

It was Ozz to include it. Everyone can make mistakes and this is the only reason I don't insult you in this post.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

accusing you of enjoying such a shitty album is definitely insult worthy! but yeah, i have no fucking clue as to how i fucked that up.

 

[EspaDa]

I've never really listened to Turbo in its entirety. It's only Turbo Lover for me. And Reckless is also an enjoyable track.

 

[alex76]

Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin was made in '86, fuck that's right.

Manilla Road - The Deluge
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Helstar - Remnants of War
