Iced Earth have been one of my favorite bands for a LOOOOONG time so I figured I'd throw this question out to the H.H. 'banger community ... which is the best CD in their catalog? They've had a lot of different singers and musicians pass thru the ranks over the years, showcasing a lot of different styles and moods. My pick: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, although THE GLORIOUS BURDEN is a close second and the under-rated BURNT OFFERINGS ranks highly as well.

 

By the way, before anybody sez "You forgot 'Days of Purgatory!', I left that one off the list since it is, essentially, a compilation album of previously released material, even if it *was* doctored up in the studio with new vocals. So there. It's my poll, I make the rules here. :)

Nice pick Stormspell... I understand that Jon Schaffer absolutely HATES that album, but I really dig it and I guess it's more of a cult item amongst some fans. When I saw I.E. on the Horror Show tour in 2002, BURNT OFFERINGS was the only album that wasn't represented in the set, they played stuff off of everything else but skipped BURNT OFFERINGS. I was a lil' disappointed

Ha, I got lucky cuz I was introduced to I.E. with the first album, just a little bit late. It was probably '95 or so and I found it at a Record & CD swap meet for two bucks. (! best two bucks I ever spent!) It was in a big milk crate full of death metal CDs, all still in the old long boxes, but I'd read about Iced Earth in a couple of zines so I figured I'd give them a shot. THE DARK SAGA came out a few months after that so I was well and truly hooked from then on. The rest is history!!

Hey Freddy I think it's time for a Jag Panzer poll.

 

Good idea, Heaven & Hell! Watch this space cuz I'll whip one up when I have a minute (unless you want to take that one?)

How about an Anthrax poll- Bush vs Belladona. My vote's with Bush.

I don't think we've done a Helloween poll either.
