The Ram It Down Army finally pulled through!



That last poll was not even close.

But next we have an interesting, unpredictable vote with many non-committed voters.

My Top 12

1. Screaming For Vengeance
2. Stained Class
3. Defenders of the Faith
4. British Steel
5. Sad Wings of Destiny
6. Killing Machine
7. Sin After Sin
8. Point of Entry
9. Redeemer of Souls
10.Firepower
11.Painkiller
12.Rocka Rolla

Since Redeemer of Souls is up there, that's my next pick

I'm going with Jugulator this go around.

Rocka Rolla!!

It's a toss up between Jugulator and Redeemer of Souls for me, again.

I don't know. I voted Redemeer because I just played a bunch of tracks off it. But I love Jugulator. Death Row is amazing. Great vocal melody. Prime Ripper. And heavy. Heavy like a two ton heavy thing.

Death Row is one of the few songs that actually has any interesting vocal melody - the complete lack of (in my opinion) memorable songwriting on the majority of the album is what made it such a letdown for me after loving Demolition.

Redeemer of souls.

I went with Angel on this one. Redeemer is a very close second. I just feel that AoR was a monster comeback in the early 2000's for the Priest and the Metal God. I have many memories of blaring this in the gym, the car, the Metal cave, and on the Walkman while jogging. Conversely, I have a great memory of seeing the Redeemer tour and being at the stage the whole show. Redeemer was itself a comeback after a bit of a misstep on Nostradamus. But, like I stated a moment ago, AoR by a smidge.

And, to my Ram it Down Army Brothers- we did it!!!

Gonna go Rocka Rollla again cuz it obviously didn't do any good last time.

Gotta go with Jugulator. A heavy and under appreciated album.

Cathedral Spires is a great song. I wish they would add it to their set list.

So true. I will be going for this one on the upcoming pole .

Lari, you need to start such poles for other bands later, like Rage, Saxon, UDO, Accept, Helloween, Grave Digger... That would be awesome .

Rocka Rolla

Rocka Rolla has been getting steady support in these polls.

I am not a big fan of it. I mean, it is an important album and all, but the band is clearly not ready.

Bull! It has some great tunes, and the band was great. I'm actually kicking myself for not voting on it earlier than I did. I was listening to it the other day and forgot how much I love that album.

I will give it a fresh spin. Haven't heard it in years.

Not my pick but I always thought the album cover was cool


I saw it once back in the 80's and never saw it again. When I got it on cassette it was the 
"other" cover. 

Looks kind of cool on green vinyl. 


I never really cared for it and I no longer have it these days. Will give it a listen on YouTube. For this round I picked everyone's least favorite, Turbo.

Rocka Rolla looks to take this round, unless there are at least two more people left who still want to have a say in this.

Can i vote again ?

Turbo

Not impossible, as long as there are voters. Not sure how many have heard the entire catalogs of Grave Digger, Rage or UDO. Saxon, maybe?
