Best US - Y&T - in Rock We Trust

Best European - Priest - Defenders Of the faith

 

But it just goes to show you how much good rock was around back then. Damn, I miss the 80s.

Yes!

Dio and Maiden for me ... although it was a close run thing, what with Y&T, Priest and Mercyful Fate all having albums in the list ... Saxon's 'Crusader' is by far and away the worst thing they've ever recorded ... *shudder* ...

Choose between 'Stay Hungry', "Out of the Cellar", "In Rock We Trust", "Last in Line", "Love At First Sting" ??!! aiiiiieeeeee carumba!! Are you mad?

 

And then "Balls to the Wall", "Defenders of the Faith"?? Not to mention Metallica, Black n Blue...ugh. I can't do it.

 

Ok, I'll try:

 

1) Dio - Last in Line

2) Accept - Balls to the Wall

Here's the 1984 Poll as promised.

 

You can really see a difference in what was going on in the U.S. compared to the rest of the World.

There was more Hair Metal in America and much more Traditional/Power Metal coming out of Europe.

 

With the influence of the Thrash Metal scene started by Metallica and Slayer I'm sure the next couple of polls will have more bands of that style.

 

This is the hardest poll for me by far. The U.S. bands make this very hard and picking between Maiden and Priest in 2nd part is tough also.

 

U.S.:

1)Queensryche- The Warning

2)Dio- Last in Line

3)Metallica- Ride the Lightning

4)Fates Warning- Night on Brocken

5)Dokken- Tooth & Nail

 

 

U.K/Europe/Canada:

1)Judas Priest- Defenders of the Faith

2)Iron Maiden- Powerslave

3)Accept- Balls to the Wall

4)Scorpions- Love at First Sting

5)Yngwie Malmsteen- Rising Force

This was tough but a Ratt was perfect as was TNT. Those were my votes.
