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.
 
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!
 
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'

1. Iron Maiden - Killers
2. Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
3. Praying Mantis - Time Tells no Lies
4. Heavy Load - Metal Conquest
5. Cirith Ungol - Frost and Fire
6. Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
7. Venom - Welcome to Hell
8. Holocaust - The Nightcomers
9. The Rods - s/t
10. Riot - Fire Down Under
 
1. Black Sabbath- Mob Rules
2. Heavy Load- Metal Conquest
3. Samson- Shock Tactics
4. Saracen- Heroes, Saints, and Villans
5. Cirith Ungol- Fire and Frost
6. Warning- Warning

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).
