Thanks for your input guys. We'll soon be into the 1980's and the advent of true heavy metal. It should get easier with the introduction of alot more well known metal bands so, hopefully, you'll be able to post more comprehensive lists and more people will begin to take part.

LOL - the funny thing is I was just thinking the same thing^^ - The 80s give us more reason to discuss - I WILL BE THERE

You know if the both of us landed on a deserted Island - with noting but tons of batteries and a ghetto blaster and our iPods - things would work out just fine

Interesting choice at no. 9 Sorti. Although I know Al Di Meola's reputation as a guitarist I've only heard a couple things by him and I've never heard that particular album. Maybe I should investigate further.

You really should. It has followed me since school, so maybe I am not entirely neutral any more, but I really think it is his best and really worth while.

You've either got the wrong year or the wrong album there Kuier. "Virgin Killer" was released in October 1976. The Scorps 1977 release was "Taken by Force".

Hmmm. I'm surprised that you include 3 Sex Pistols singles in the second list but didn't put the "Never Mind the Bollocks" album in your top albums list.

That mistake has now been taken care of... I did feel that something was wrong, but i couldn't put my finger on it

Cool. It's a great album that gets overlooked by most metal fans who can't see beyond the punk connection. Take away the punk attitude and Johnny Rotten's affected vocal delivery though and you are left with an excellent hard rock album.

---

Well, metal is just my favorite style. I've got Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk on that list too But sure, it's my general opinion that without punk - notably Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop - thrash metal would not have evolved. Just listen to the Undisputed Attitude-album by Slayer or Metallica's Garage Inc..

I notice you've got Judas Priest's Sin After Sin, on both lists. Is that deliberate or a typo?

Well this was one of my favorite albums before I started listening to metal. And it is one of those, I'll never get tired of. Funny thing though, I find everything else he made completely crap
