warning that the deadline is in 2 and a half days or so. i realise most of the people i tagged are not gonna participate but whatever

I don't think you get an alert when that many people are tagged in a single post. I did not receive an alert.

I will post my list before the deadline, I may not have a full top 10 however because this year has been too hard rock for me.

 

[Vilden]

I got an alert!

I wont post a list I think, mostly because I know too few albums for it to be fun. I mean top 3 would probably be Sabbath > Maiden > Saxon. The rest will be somewhat forced and I don't really have the time to check out new stuff right now.

I'll participate in the next year though!

[Burkhard]

I won't participate in this round nor in any other poll concerning years prior to 1984.

 

[Sirjack]

l cant decide wether Fair Warning is Metal or Hard Rock and does it crossover so much in this year that it matters?
Depending on who you ask, it's either metal or rock or both
Back then, Fair Warning, and the likes of Too Fast For Love were definitely 'Metal'
Can't do a list and be told 'that's not metal'

 

[RadicalThrasher]

It's going to be an utter disgrace if Mob Rules finishes lower than 2nd (I've already accepted that the most overrated Maiden album will finish first).

what happened to CiG's swedeath thread btw

 

[CiG]

I had it deleted, it was a clusterfuck. They really need to give you more after-the-fact editing options for threads man.

I'll leave these games to the non-autistic, you guys seem better at it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

well it had a good concept imo, you/someone should rework it.

 

[CiG]

I also realised that a game where you only get to vote once per round was retarded.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This fucking thread needs more Praying Mantis love.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

@no country for old wainds Have you ever considered doing a non-metal version of this?

 

[CiG]

That would be so brutal.
