I've listened a few times, there's some really good stuff in there, but it always seems to drift away from my regular play. I'm going to try to rectify that, really enjoying the late 80s-90s stuff that Foro has shared.

I prefer Maiden worship over the thinking´s man ManOwaR.What is not funny though is Virgin Steele losing. You let it stomp Aria, how come this Maiden worship is better???

It wasn't a criticism. Your contribution is always thoughtful & worthy of reading.
Yes.Did I just read Cried's List of Wizard's Reviews?
Thank you. May the mods share your view.

The only lists worth doing are lists worth doing well. (It's getting pretty late here so if there are grammar/logical mistakes, you'll know why. Then again, I make a lot of logical mistakes throughout the day. Also grammar mistakes nowadays. Used to be better when younger.)

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II - The bro metal approach of New American Wave of Heavy Metal bands wears on me very quickly. Led Zeppelin II isn't a metal record but its proto-metal credentials are enough for it to get the vote over much inferior competition.
Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol - I don't care much about The Eternal Idol and Wish You Were Here is a Top 50 album of all-time for me, but the vote goes to Black Sabbath by default due to reasons of game integrity.
Bloodbound - Nosferatu - In a clash of two power metal bands, I'll go with the one whose riffing was superior. They manage to stay one step removed from full-blown cheese on this particular track as well.
Sepultura - Roots - I like Porcupine Tree a lot, but In Absentia isn't one of their albums that I hold in high esteem and considering that they're a prog rock band with the occasional foray into metal here, decent metal competition would have them defeated. Roots is that. Not a great album, but "Roots Bloody Roots" is great enough to get the vote for the purposes of this game.

You're right, it's not worthy of reading.
Eternal Idol is a classic, deserves more votes. The playing is fantastic, and Tony Martin is right up there with Dio (forget about Ozzy). The Shining is one of my all time favorite Sabbath songs.
A7X was a big album for me growing up, Mckindog is right in that, when I was in middle school, the album was very popular among rock/metal fans. It was a gateway album for a lot of people too. They opened for Maiden while supporting the album and it led a lot of people toward checking out the classics. For me it was the other way around, I was already into Maiden, but it was really exciting to see two of my favorite bands (at the time) with cross-pollinating audiences. The self titled A7X album is colorful and ambitious in a lot of ways for a band that was coming out of the mallcore scene. I don't know who picked Critical Acclaim for the representative song, but it was really the wrong choice for this audience. I would've opted for something like Brompton Cocktail or maybe even Gunslinger. I have good things to say about every track regardless.
Couldn't in good conscience vote against Zeppelin II though, which was equally important to my musical development.

You don't have to read my posts then. There's an ignore button for every user.
I'd have gone with 'A Little Piece of Heaven'.

Come on then, Cried, since you're here, grace this survivor with your learned vote. 
Someone voted for Floyd. Wiz triggered.

Like Blood Incantation, Oranssi Pazuzu, Inter Arma, Blut Aus Nord, etc. not to mention some not as heavy bands like Dream Theatre and Queensryche. They may not be as influential as Led Zeppelin, but they do cast a pretty large shadow. That being said, most of the influence comes from the earlier years, especially Ummagumma, and not Wish You Were Here. Although I bet every metal band who did a ballad in the 80s wishes it was half as good as the title track.
