Feels pretty bad not having it in my list tbh.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

not having it in my list

 

[CiG]

Throw Eluveitie CD's at me, I deserve it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... there are only four other people who didnt vote for Motorhead. No country, vegard, slayed and HBB. You're going in-crowd brah.

At least they filled out lists though. Ole' chinny over here still had two spots open and still didnt list them. Which im guessing means he dislikes the album .... which takes me right back to my initial statement, that's hes a flaming cock-jockey.

 

[CiG]

If I didn't include demos and EPs in my list, Motorhead would be sitting at 6th place on mine.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm not as familiar with Iron Fist as the preceding three tbh, but I've never liked it as much as those.

 

[CiG]

Whoops forgot about the deadline, anybody else need anymore time on this?

Just think, if it Motorhead had been a flaming faggot favourite it would have got number 1.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you havent been listing some of pompeys votes btw (ie pagan altar). i think theyve counted toward the totals tho

 

[no country for old wainds]

i’m also counting 99 for venom thar, accept doesn’t add up either

edit: also 53 for manowar

 

[CiG]

Oof what the hell happened, pretty glaring mistakes, this is what I get for doing this while multitasking work. Fixing now lmao.

10) RESTLESS and WILD by ACCEPT



"Restless & Wild;

Fast As a Shark - 4.5/5
Ahead of the Pack - 4/5 (great progression/riff-play in chorus, lotsa swagger)
Neon Nights - 4/5 (descending acoustic intro, kind of an almost-ballad/hard rocking ballad, cool stuff going on in the leads)
Shake Your Heads - 3.5/5 (anthemic, especially the chorus)
Restless & Wild - 3.5/5
Flash Rockin' Man - 3.5/5 (Welcome to Hell/2MTM/etc)
Demon's Night - 3/5 (kind of thrashy riffage, some interesting bits)
Get Ready - 3/5 (getting into AC/DC territory, but still pretty decent)
Don't Go Stealing My Soul Away - 2.5/5 (cowbell, stop-start, but I like the melodic chorus)
Princess of the Dawn - 2/5 (love the acoustic pre-chorus but the rest is so damn repetitive)" - @HamburgerBoy
