The metal albums are made up from my own personal top albums, it's really the only criteria I could use.
Voting will last approx. 2-3 days per round, have fun.

Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden)

Another fine poll.
I will worship the Priest
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden)

If it had been another early Metallica or Megadeth album, I'd probably have gone for that, but in this case Defenders of the Faith wins.

Why is that the only criteria you could use? This topic is done before recently, and there's input by various members.

If you want to reserve this privilege solely to yourself, I really advice you to put this in the subject of this topic.

So, either
A, state in the subject:  Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) (Vortexs selection)
B: either give us input
C: either this looks like a double topic, done before

I might be wrong but I looked before I posted this poll and couldn't find a greatest metal album (non maiden) poll or list anywhere on this site.
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden)

Well, that might be true. But there was one with Maiden included, with still quite some non-Maiden albums to be found.

Anyway, sorry for my initial reaction. Just do it the way you like.
I only hope that other members are also allowed to do the same with an own selection.


Priest's album gets my vote. That one is my favourite Priest album of the 1980s and a top 5 album of all 1980s music as well.
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden)

Well, the only way we could really run something like this would be to get people to submit their top 150 metal albums of them all, and then randomize the brackets.
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) Round 2

Countdown to Extinction. Possibly my 2nd fav Megadeth album from Rust.
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) Round 2

Judas Priest - Painkiller (The impact this one had is really out of proportions!!!)

Man you want to fuck all up with this one?! Ahahahahahahahahahahah...

Symbolic, Born Again, Countdown To Extinction?! Are you kidding me?!! All classics and some of my fave all time albums!!! :edmetal:
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) Round 2

...and more Priest worship from this corner
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) Round 2

Another Priest album this time: Painkiller.  Interesting, because I'm not a huge Priest fan overall.
 
Re: Greatest Metal Album (Non Maiden) Round 2

Painkiller it is. Priest's greatest album and the best possible way to start a new decade (together with a certain Megadeth album)
