Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Here's an idea! Let's get a poll series going for the best 80s hard rock / heavy metal albums of all time! Same format as usual: 1. Only add one album per post 2. Please copy and paste the full list into your post so we don't have to rely on Derek to keep track of the list for us. 3. Don't post twice (or more) in a row. Please let other people make additions before you add in your personal top 100 all in order. Simple rules! I think we should go to 80, for the 80s. Oh speaking of the 80s, discussion is fun, but let's not have any pointless arguments about whether or not an albums qualifies as 80s on musical terms. If it was released in a year that starts with the numbers "198," then it's 80s. If it was released in any other year, it's not. Same goes for arguments about whether or not something qualifies as hard rock / heavy metal. I'm not gonna nitpick about this stuff, so long as people don't start posting things that OBVIOUSLY don't qualify (e.g. Hot Space by Queen, 1999 by Prince, Disintigration by The Cure). Don't be a troll. Anyway, to start things out, let's just get the most obvious answer out of the way, which I happen to be blasting at full volume over my stereo right now. 1. AC/DC - Back In Black 5
