Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath

I like or love almost every album mentioned in the Top 15, but the others that meant a lot back then and still sound as good I have to play them all the way through -

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
Fastway - All Fired Up
Grim Reaper - See You in Hell
Raven - Live at the Inferno dbl-live
Razor - Armed & Dangerous

I have to go with "Ride The Lightning", since I believe it's Metallica's finest album to date. In many ways, I wanted to go with "Defenders of the Faith", because it was my first Priest album, and one of my first heavy metal albums.

1. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
2. Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith
3. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
4. RATT - Out of the Cellar
5. Dio - The Last in Line

Holy crap! I missed this poll. I knew something was amiss when the poll went from 1983 to 1985. Problem is I always check the metal section and rarely the fun & games section. This is a touch one since I have 9 to choose from (10 if Ratt-Out Of The Cellar was on the poll). It came down to Metallica and Iron Maiden which causes a dilema. However, I'm giving the nudge to Metallica as this is my second favorite one from them (MoP is my favorite but in recent years this one has come close to knocking it to #2) and the next two Maiden albums to come are my top 2 Maiden albums.

How did Ult forget to mention "Dungeons....." ?

That was a constant spin on the turntable or in the car stereo at one of those many lakes that surround the D/FW metroplex area.

Damn, didn't even realize that wasn't on the list until you mentioned it...

I guess I'll go with Metal Church's first album, but I'm really disappointed that Exciter's "Violence and Force" is missing from the poll. The first W.A.S.P. is up there as well.
