Sadly, unless the ghost of Cliff Burton comes a ridding in, I think this one's a wrap... so what do you have lined up next?

**** it, even if Briks and Ninetales were really voting off RIB, that would still leave the score tied, and Master of Puppets would lose the tie-breaker. So, I guess there's nothing left but to declare that...

Reign In Blood is the greatest thrash metal album of all time!

So, congratulations to Slayer for ruling so hard. Next up... trad metal. Just be thankful I didn't add Manowar. Or at least that I took them off five minutes later and replaced them with Mercyful Fate. You're welcome, you bastards.


Trad Metal Battle


1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
2. Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
3. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
4. Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
5. Saxon - Denim and Leather
6. Scorpions - Blackout
7. Motorhead - Ace of Spades
8. Dio - Holy Diver
9. Accept - Balls to the Wall
10. Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath


So, vote 4 off. Polls end on January 31.


Scorpions - Blackout
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Dio - Holy Diver
Motorhead - Ace of Spades

Sorry, I would've updated yesterday, but got caught up helping my grandmother do some cleaning around her house. She's having a little bit of an issue, so ... I was a good person. It happens. Don't make a thing of it. Just know, deep down, that I'm a saint. Anyways... Not a single band went unscathed here, and I must say I'm surprised at two out of the three bands that got only one/two votes. Not that they aren't classics, but I figured Priest or Motorhead would be doing better than Dio. No offense.

So, looks like Scorpions downed one too many, cause they've blacked out and are down for the count. Everybody got at least one vote, but Scorpions were the clear loser in this round. I mention this mainly because I don't really like the Scorpions and this makes me happy.

Next round...

9. Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath
8. Accept - Balls to the Wall
7. Motorhead - Ace of Spades
6. Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
5. Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
4. Saxon - Denim and Leather
3. Dio - Holy Diver
2. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
1. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell


So, vote 4 off. Vote ends February 3.


Oh, and I think next we're gonna do the death metal battle. I'm gonna start posting links to the albums in the next battle we're doing in the OP long before we get to them, just so people who might otherwise not participate because they don't know all the albums will have plenty of time to catch up if they so desire. So, if you wanna do the DM battle, but haven't listened to all the albums in the list, please check the OP for links to each.

I think you've got the wrong Saxon album up there, isn't Leather & Denim their primo classic? Time to check in with the unknown soldier on this one.

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Side A of Wheels of Steel trumps anything on Strong Arm of the-... wait, Denim and Leather? I've never heard anyone call that their best. I'd say it's great, but I've always heard it between Wheels of Steel and Strong Arm of the Law. I made a judgement call.

He's obviously not familiar with what the word 'survivor' means.

Denim and Leather is actually their best and most accomplished album, but the others are still worthy of being on here.

I wouldn't have picked Blackout out either as two other Scorpions' albums trump this but Blackout by many is considered their classic.

Judas Priest- Screaming for Vengeance
Motorhead- Ace of Spades
Mercyful Fate- Don't Break the Oath
Scorpions- Blackout

I could actually possibly agree on Denim and Leather. It's got better songs than Strong Arm of the Law, and is more consistent than Wheels of Steel, though, other than "Crusader", Saxon never released any songs that could quite compete with "Motorcycle Man" or "Wheels of Steel". Still, the battle's already up, so I'll keep it as is.

And I've seen Blackout consistently called their best on any list I've ever seen. Not that I particularly give a ****.

Edit: Alright, **** it. I'll change Wheels of Steel to Denim and Leather.

I'm sure I said the above as well in my reviews, that Wheels of Steel has the outstanding singles style tracks but its Denim and Leather that is the best song for song.
