1986 - Heavy Metal Motherload! THE POLL

I could have voted The Dark too, but Somewhere in Time is too hard to resist.

I went with Somewhere In Time.

I wanted to vote for Candlemass but Maiden is just the better band.

CAUGHT SOMEWHEEEERE IN TIIIIIIAAIIIIMEEEE

I went with Fates Warning, though I nearly chose Metal Church.

For me this came down to Somewhere in Time or The Dark. I went with The Dark which has got to be one of my all time favorite albums ever.

It came down to Stryper, King Diamond or Queensryche but had to go with SOMEWHERE IN TIME!!!!!!!!

That's funny. I went with MC although I almost chose FW.

Queensryche, followed closely by Stryper and Fates Warning

it's a toss up for me. Orgasmatron or Fatal Portrait.

I know everyone hates Turbo but it was my introduction to Priest and I was not allowed to own it because my mom would not let me, I went next door to hang out with some teenager who listened to this album all of the time

Metal church of course

But doesn't this album qualify as thrash?

Orgasmatron

No. Power Metal.

Back in the day, power metal bands were those bands like Metal Church who rode the fence between traditional heavy metal (Judas Priest, Armored Saint, etc) and thrash metal (Metallica, Slayer, etc.), thus the term Power Metal. Power Metal these days is keyboard infested, dungeons & dragons flower metal.

Noted.

Thanks

Had to give this one some thought. Ended up voting for Somewhere In Time.

Somewhere In Time, another one of Maiden's finest hour's.

Somebody Save Me from the Night Songs that Shake Me into Nobody's Fool.

Go Once Around the Ride in my Hell On Wheels, just give a little Push, Push until we're Back Home Again and In From the Outside.

lol, I know, I left out a song, but I had Nothin' For Nothin'.........

...but I do like my Cinderella!

I've listened to the I.M album the most and love it, but I think the Candlemass album is one of the greatest debuts in metal history, so I went with that.

Cinderella. Killer debut.

Metal Church all the way!! I love "The Dark" soooooooooooooooo much and always have!!!! Easily one of my top 10 if not one of my top 5 favorite albums of all-time!
