Good job @Diesel 11 ! My personal top 10 would look just a wee bit different, but I can't argue against "Stare at the Sun" as the winner :) it's been fun to participate, let's do something similar again soon!

6-1 win for Sabbath. Sole Zeppelin-vote is for "Going to California". Good choices - I'll throw in Rising and Black Rose, as well.

War Pigs vs Aqualung Paranoid vs Cross Eyed Mary Planet Caravan vs Mother Goose Iron Man vs My God Electric Funeral vs Hymn 43 Hand of Doom/Rat Salad vs Locomotive Breath Fairies Wear Boots vs Wind Up "War Pigs" and "Aqualung" are two of my favourite songs of all time, hands down, and it's...

Gotta go with Led Zeppelin. Not because it's bad, but I prefer the other two by a considerable amount.

Second-best song on the album for me, after "Wheels of Confusion".

Black Dog vs Wheels of Confusion Rock and Roll vs Tomorrow's Dream The Battle of Evermore vs Changes Stairway to Heaven vs Supernaut Misty Mountain Hop vs Snowblind Going to California vs Cornucopia When the Levee Breaks vs Under the Sun 5-2 win for Sabbath. First time listening to Zep's IV in...

Sooo… When I said "later this week" I apparently meant "next month". Boy, time flies. DOWN TO EARTH (1979) All Night Long - Musically, Down to Earth starts off the same way its predecessors did, with a killer riff, very similar to "Man on the Silver Mountain", but every bit as good. As...

Brighton Rock vs Career of Evil Killer Queen vs Subhuman Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley vs Dominance and Submission Now I'm Here vs ME 262 Stone Cold Crazy vs Harvester of Eyes Misfire vs Flaming Telepaths In the Lap of the Gods Revisited vs Astronomy 4-3 for Secret...

I'll get my votes in either today or tomorrow too, if it stays open. It probably won't change anything from the final results, but I'd been wanting to give both albums a proper listen - just haven't had the time yet.

Iconoclast has some good moments, but it's sandwiched between two superior albums in my opinion. Favourite songs for me are the title track and "Prometheus".

Speed King vs Man on the Silver Mountain Bloodsucker vs Self Portrait Child in Time vs Black Sheep of the Family Flight of the Rat vs Catch the Rainbow Into the Fire vs Snake Charmer Living Wreck vs Temple of the King Hard Lovin' Man vs Still I'm Sad 5-2 win for Rainbow. Toughest choice was...

Oh, of course. I just never would have imagined "Greensleeves" scoring lower than "Snake Charmer" or "Black Sheep".

No "Greensleeves"?

Had my maiden listen of the new album earlier today. First impressions: -Johan Längquist sounds good. His voice has gotten a lot grittier, but there are a few moments that could've taken directly from Epicus (most notably "Bridge of the Blind"). -"Bridge of the Blind" is a fully acoustic track...

Cried pretty much sums up my feelings about Metallica. The only album I really ever feel the urge to listen to from start to finish is Ride the Lightning, otherwise it's just the odd song here and there. I think James peaked vocal-wise on The Black Album - he has definitely lost much of the...

Really enjoyed reading both @MrKnickerbocker and @LooseCannon 's reviews of Paradise Lost. It was my gateway into Symphony X, and today I still rate it as a phenomenal album, among the all-time best. Sure, it may not be a concept album in the classical sense, but it tackles the themes of the...

For once I think these are pretty accurate rankings - "The Brave" sits fairly close to where I would put it, and "Blood" has grown a bit on me. I can't really complain here.

Been wanting to get on with this for a while, but apparently starting a new job is very time-consuming. Oh well, here we go. LONG LIVE ROCK 'N' ROLL (1978) Long Live Rock 'N' Roll - Rainbow's third and final album with Dio kicks off with the title track, probably one of their best known...

The Wizard vs Aqualung Traveller In Time vs Cross-Eyed Mary Easy Livin' vs Mother Goose Poet's Justice vs My God Circle of Hands vs Hymn 43 Rainbow Demon vs Locomotive Breath Paradise / The Spell vs Wind Up Aqualung takes the win with a score of 5-2. Demons and Wizards is a decent album by a...
