Out of the choices in the poll I choose Morbid Angel but it was close since I loved Black Sabbath's Headless Cross

Woof. Tough choice between Savatage's GUTTER BALLET and W.A.S.P.'s HEADLESS CHILDREN.

I went with W.A.S.P. -- but only by a hair.

Skid Row's debut. Not my favorite by them (that would be Slave to the Grind) however from those choices, that's the tape I wore out.

Dangerous Toys for me.It doesnt get much better than that.

They were a close second. But again, their debut, while good, isn't my favorite. I'm a little more partial to their next one. Both of which I need to get on cd desperatly. I only have mp3's that I ripped from my buddy's cds.

I really liked the song "Scared" from the debut... but Hellacious Acres and Pissed were a little better.

I went with King's X.

Oh heck yea, Pissed is a great one too!

Headless Cross by far, sooooooo far

Went with King's X
Others:
Mr. Big
Badlands
Faith No More

Headless Children!
Love that album!

Damn! So many awesome ones to pick from

Chose Morbid Angel on the poll, but wish Testament, Bolt Thrower, Sepultura, Kreator, and Obituary would have been up there also!

Great year in metal!

My heart almost went with KISS but in reality it's not a very strong release by them (even though I still love it) so out of the remainders I went with W.A.S.P.

Black Sabbath - Headless Cross got my vote.

How bout Sea Hags-s/t ?

Good one.

Hard choice for me between King's X and Fates Warning, but ending up going with King's X

Gretchen. That album was a life changer for me, been a fanatic ever since.

(although I've never really considered King's X a "metal" band)

Savatage by a hair over WASP.

Badlands

Yep!

Alters Of Madness was the beginning of my descent into metal hell.

Nosferatu!

King's X got my vote.
