Next up can we do a poll comparing Judas Priest to Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass?  

If it's the Herb Alpert album with "Spanish Flea" on it... Herb for the win.

same here !

Kill 'Em All is a cool album. Possibly the best thing Metallica ever recorded.

Savatage might have been the better band, but Sirens isn't a highlight in their discography.

Savatage. But this poll makes little sense to me.

both albums are debut albums of both bands and were recorded in the same year.

I think he was referring to the difference in style. It makes more sense to compare Kill Em All and Show No Mercy (Slayer's '83 debut).

As much as Metallica's hated, the brilliance of "Kill 'Em All" cannot be denied.

The difference in style isn't all that huge. Speed, power, thrash, whatever you call it, didn't actually have a proper name back then anyway.

Both albums are raw and full of energy.

Agreed, not that far apart.

There were quite a few fine debuts in '83. The only one that comes close to giving KeA a real run for it's money (IMHO) is Mercyful Fate - Melissa

June 1983

Like FF said 'Kill 'em All' was a game changer, due Savatage were local heroes at the time 'Sirens' was released

I voted Kill 'em All. I like them both. Odd match up.

So why was this poll created in the first place? It's like comparing peanut butter and velveeta.

Creamy or chunky?

1983 was an amazing year in music.. Looking back at all the albums that year.. WOW!!!

'Born Again', 'Court In The Act', 'Holy Diver', Queensrÿche EP, '90125', lots of good stuff.

Yes. One of the top years !

Rodney Dangerfield's Rodney Rappin'.

Personally I like "disparate" polls like this.  Provided that there is some connection between the albums in the poll, I find that asking people to choose between 2 dissimilar albums is more interesting than comparing two albums that have been compared to each other a million times on a million message boards.

Makes me flash back to Scott's year by year threads 

Kill 'Em All

Sirens of course. One of the best and rawest savatage albums ever.

Wait, is this even a debate. Kill 'Em All, no question.

I am not the biggest Savatage fan, but I do really like the first few albums. But still, few albums compare to Kill 'Em All. Very few. Maybe three. And those would be the subsequent three Metallica albums.
