GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1987

[Dazed and Brutal]

putting testament over slaughter got ya boi sprung.

ps -- Sacrifice are pretty overlooked

 

[no country for old wainds]

'sprung' kinda makes it sound like it made you erect.

sacrifice rules, i listed them along with my boys TB and baroque. out crowd unite!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Forward to Termination is aight but clearly not on par with Journey Into Mystery, None Shall Defy, Terror Squad, etc

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'd take it over terror squad at least

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I just relistened to it since I realized I hadn't even included it in my list, and nah, not even close. It has a few good ideas and a strong, warm production but pretty average riffs overall. Terror Squad is one perfect riff after the next.

 

[The Ozzman]

I would take most anything over Artillery

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I would take most anything over Artillery

Shit taste.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I would take most anything over Artillery

So do you hate stuff with actual riffs now or what?

 

[The Ozzman]

So do you hate stuff with actual riffs now or what?

If I hated stuff with riffs, I would hate:

Revocation
Mercyful Fate
Heathen
Testament
etc

But please tell me again that I don't like music with riffs. Please.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Why would you use riffless bands like Revocation and Heathen to disprove an accusation of hating riffs?

 

[The Ozzman]

I hear plenty of riffs in their music

 

[The Ozzman]

HBB full autist mode in 3...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Heathen does have some good riffs, but are hardly a top-riff kind of band.

Give me your best Revocation riffs.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

damn how the fuck did i forget to rank Breaking the Silence?

i'd take it over terror squad at least

i'd take it over all three of those albums. Terror Squad and Mystification are right up there at the #11-12 spots though.

Why would you use riffless bands like Revocation and Heathen to disprove an accusation of hating riffs?

calls Heathen riffless and faps to true riffless garbage like post BBB Exodus

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Heathen's riffs are just second-gen Exodus and Metallica riffs to begin with.

 

[Goodman]
