Master of Reality (Like, don't love Sabbath with Ozzy)

Out of curiosity: why this album, or why not both Sabbath w/Ozzy albums? I'd say Master of Reality is the more interesting of the two. Just my two cents of course.

If Iron Maiden, Silicon Messiah, Master of Reality and Tyranny of Souls have to go, then so shall some of these inferior records:

Empire
Grace Under Pressure
Holy Diver
Wish You Were Here
Dance of Death
Master of Puppets


So it shall be written, but shall it so be done? ;)

I don't have a strong preference between the two, but if we I want to protect great albums like Grace from the jerks ;) who keep voting for them, I'm better off voting Master.
 
Paranoid is the only Ozzy era Sabbath that I really enjoy. It's a great album

Correct. And I am voting for Grace and some others because some albums I find important are threatened.
Makes for an exciting finale. :)
 
Well you're also Canadian mckindog! Rush is like your home team..:D

Grace is a good album but I prefer basically every other classic Rush album over it. (basically everything from 74 - 81) So it's gotta go.
 
P/G is my favorite post Moving Pictures album and definitely in my top 5. Maybe even top 3. I love it.
 
More various previous rounds I was thinking The US is doing better than the UK. But when the game progresses, this could change soon.
 
Twenty-six albums left, eight more Maiden albums to come.

Echoing what I said last round, I'm surprised there are no Floyd albums remaining.
However, I am not surprised to see six from Priest still hanging on.

Tyranny, Iron Maiden, Killers, Rust, Puppets, Machine Head
 
Better vote for that Heave and Hell, never heard of it. :p

Also, some of the votes are just insane. Killers having less votes than Holy Diver, Master of Puppets, Rising, Rust in Peace AND Machine Head?

I also expected at least one of the colourful Keeper albums, in this stage. This is a Maiden forum, and Helloween has certainly more in common with Maiden than most other remaining acts have. Not that Helloween is a Maiden copycat, but they also use lots of melody and harmony in their guitar work and are also not allergic to fast tempo's, epic and proggy proportions, and high vocals. And they have a most excellent bass player. All these elements: so much (potential) appeal! But this forum is very Anglo-Saxon orientated (no room for non-English/American/Canadian bands). The only band from continental Europe making the playoffs was Opeth.

I still say this beats most of the songs left on the remaining albums:
