Dirt is better than Badmotorfinger.
In think its the best of the four Seattle band albums in the poll.
It's just so bleak.

I'd like to hear why Diary became an early target this round.
Ozzy is a tool, but it's got good songs and Rhoads so good.
 
I don't care much for Ozzy's solo stuff. There are some good songs on Diary, but this is an album poll and I don't like it as an album.

Dirt is the best grunge album ever for me. I haven't really listened to other grunge bands than the big ones, though.

Well he certainly doesn't help in that regard. :) He voted for almost all the 1991-1992 albums.

But I get where he is coming from.
I listen to Vulgar Display and remember what a kick in the teeth that sound was to the scene at the time.
But looking back, that's all it was. Ultimately it comes down to the songs, and Pantera does not have enough good ones.
Nirvana is hugely overrated, but Nevermind did have great songs that continue to grab kids now.

I'm sort of regretting voting against Rage, as I do love that album and it is way better than the others (except Nevermind, which changed the world). Still, it is a far cry from some of the others, like the Sabbath and the Beatles.

Never loved Alice in Chains, just never connected with me. I think I was annoyed by Layne Staley's voice.

Diary of a Madman has some great songs, but also a fair amount of filler.
 
2009 nominations:
Mastodon - Crack The Skye
Devin Townsend - Ki and Addicted
Megadeth - Endgame

2010:
Them Crooked Vultures - s/t
The Black Keys - Brothers

2011:
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events
Megadeth - Thirteen
 
I also think it's too bad Crimson didn't get a chance to lobby for his namesake.
Never heard the album before today, but it was a pleasant surprise.
 
That has more to do with the style. Nevermind is much more accessable, namely also to non-metal kids. I am sure it will do better than Vulgar, but I am also pretty (not entirely ;-) sure Vulgar will do better than most other 1991-1992 albums.
 
Seconding Heritage.

I like Diary but it has a lot of filler. No More Tears is much better. Nirvana is my favorite grunge band and I still enjoy listening to Nevermind. In Utero is my favorite though.

Crimson Idol is a surprisingly mature album for WASP, but I found most of the songs to be weak.

But that's what I mean, and I think what Cornfed was getting at in the last thread.
Cream was so badass in 1967, same with Pantera in '92, that's what grabbed people. But time wears the edginess off and makes the fashion statement irrelevant.
And all you've got left for newcomers is the songs.
 
A Dramatic Turn of Events isn't in ? If not, I second Mosh's nomination for sure. It's a miles better album than Black Clouds & Silver Linings which is in.

I disagree. This forum is a mix of newcomers and older people. Pantera only grabbed metalheads. Metalheads of these days can enjoy older metal, both young and old. In the early nineties Nirvana grabbed "everyone" because of its impact and the huge size of Grunge. These days Nirvana still grab people because it still sounds accessible.

And I don't have this (for me unnatural) urge to look down on bands/albums from the past especially if I liked them myself.
 
Voted for all albums before the 199os, except Screaming for Vengeance, but also voted for Van Halen.
Throw the tomatoes, if you dare. :p

Sorry, Foro, but I'm not sure if you're getting what I was trying to say here, because I certainly don't have an urge to look down on bands from the past.
I'm trying to that some bands enjoy a certain level of popularity because they put the right album out at the right time.
Others miss that level because they put the right album out at the wrong time.
I'm trying to say it's the test of time that usually proves how good they really were.
