[JayKeeley]

Pick teh winnars:

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy) vs. MERCYFUL FATE (Melissa)
84: BATHORY (s/t) vs. METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning)
85: POSSESSED (Seven Churches) vs. CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion)
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends) vs. DESTRUCTION (Eternal Devastation)
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance) vs. DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence)

89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains) vs. KREATOR (Extreme Aggression)
90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss) vs. MEGADETH (Rust in Peace)

You must pick one winner from each year. Your life is dependent on it.

It's cool because I've never even heard half of these albums, including one I picked teh winnar.

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning)
85: POSSESSED (Seven Churches)
86: ... Reign in Blood
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance)
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains)

90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss) vs. MEGADETH (Rust in Peace)

Going to have to give Megadeth the nod. *brain and testicles switch places and implode*

 

[Hell Mike]

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy) because Mercyful Fate isn't thrash
84: METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning) because it is thrashier
85: CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion)
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends) Simply because it fucking rules. So does ED but not as much.
87: DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence)
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: KREATOR (Extreme Aggression)
90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss)

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning)
85: CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion)
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends) vs. DESTRUCTION (Eternal Devastation) haven't heard either
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance) vs. DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence) haven't heard either
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains)
90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss)

Some of these won by default since I haven't heard the competition.

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning)
85: CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion)
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends)
87: DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence)
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains) vs. KREATOR (Extreme Aggression)
90: MEGADETH (Rust in Peace)


Can't make a call on '89 as Sepultura was sorta the transition of thrash to death metal for me. Yet Extreme Aggression was a great thrash album.

 

[lurch70]

interesting poll JK !!!

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Ligthning)
85: CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion) ... this was a tough one, but CF scared me more
86: DESTRUCTION (Eternal Devastation) ... just because of that awesome razor sharp guitar tone.
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance) vs. DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence) ... a tie on this one. Both good fucking releases
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains)
90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss)

83: MERCYFUL FATE (Melissa)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Lightning)
85: CELTIC FROST (To Mega Therion)
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends)
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance)
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven)
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains)
90: MEGADETH (Rust in Peace)

 

[JayKeeley]

OK I'll do mine.

83: MERCYFUL FATE (Melissa)
84: METALLICA (Ride the Lightning)
85: POSSESSED (Seven Churches), it's just fawkin' bootiful
86: DESTRUCTION (Eternal Devastation)
87: SACRED REICH (Ignorance), but this is very close, maybe a tie for me too
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven), although State of Euphoria was Anthrax's best IMO
89: SEPULTURA (Beneath the Remains)
90: er...let me think about this one... MEGADETH - Rust in Peace

We'll tally these results at some point. Some obvious answers, and some not. POSSESSED taking a beating somewhat, but it's all good healthy competition.

As I said earlier, then deleted because you deleted your comment ( ):

[IOfTheStorm]

This is unfair, we should say which band released the best thrash metal album for each year without choosing just from only 2.

 

[JayKeeley]

Welcome to the world of RC polls.

 

[NAD]

Let's check the score to see who's winning -
the muthafucka that ain't afraid of sinning
Makes no difference who's older or bigger
he's the smart money 'cause hie finger's on the trigger
For every person that thinks that they won't die
there's a bullet waiting to prove you a lie
You can try buy you ain't gonna get no - NO!
'cause all the rules just went out the window!

[Black Winter Day]

You people stop choosing "To Mega Therion" or I will have to take some action.

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Bathory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Metallica

 

[J.]

Hammerheart > Reload

 

[Ayeka]

83: SLAYER (Show no Mercy) cos I don't know Melissa
84: BATHORY (s/t) cos Metallica are gay
85: Haven't heard either
86: DARK ANGEL (Darkness Descends) cos I don't know Destruction
87: DEATH ANGEL (Ultra Violence) cos I don't know Sacred Reich
88: SLAYER (South of Heaven) cos I don't know State Of Euphoria (it probably sucks)
89: Haven't heard either
90: SLAYER (Seasons in the Abyss) cos I don't know Rust In Peace (nothing can top Seasons anyway, apart from other Slayer albums maybe)

Argh, I'm hopeless!
