Best of the Best X

[whiplash1972]

1984...another great f'n year for music!

[T-BONE]

RATT!!!!!! Although some good competition, the opening riffs of Lack Of Communication were always a favorite and although some good hits on this one, Scene Of The Crime was my favorite track on this album

[Doksdad]

Ya think it was a great year for Rock? Man, another tough one but Dokken was a pretty easy choice for me. Lotsa good stuff in this poll though.

[martinsane]

Went with Slide It In, in the top 100 best produced albums of all times, still sounds fantastic today!!! (lot of great choices in this poll though)

[Jez]

Bon Jovi - s/t

 

although Love Survivor, StevePerry & Autograph nearly equally!

[headbanger4life]

Twisted Sister for me baby. Yeah it seems kind of cheezy, but I couldn't wait to see their videos and bang my head. "The Price" has to be one of my all time favorite TS songs. I loved this whole album.

[Fat Freddy]

Damn...1984 was a good year wasn't it? I could've went with just about anything on this list... considered "The Warning" and "Stay Hungry" but went with

\m/ DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO \m/

 

Cuz Ronnie still rules today

[swriter]

gotta go with Foreigner

Scorpions, Survivor, and Tsister right behind!!!

[heaven&hell]

DIO IS GOD

[Evil Rick]

Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry

[Geoff]

This is pretty much where my interests start. It was a close call between Dokken, Bon Jovi and Ratt... but Ratt got it for me in the end. Awesome album... just love that thing!!! Agree with T-Bone too, 'Scene of the crime' is my fave too.

[Nick C]

Steve Perry - Street Talk. Especially like it as he is obviously doing something he enjoys rather than plumping for Journeys tried and tested formula of the time.

[Blue Charvel]

RATT!!!!!! Although some good competition, the opening riffs of Lack Of Communication were always a favorite and although some good hits on this one, Scene Of The Crime was my favorite track on this album 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Almost went with Dio, but I had to go with Ratt for exactly the same reasons as T-BONE... how scary is that?

[aMetalhead1966]

Damn...That's a hard one to answer. 1984 was a Great Year!!

I chose Icon... cause I've been listening to it lately...But man it's

closer than a frog's butt hair....gotta say all of them are classic's

IMO!!!

[whiplash1972]

I went with my boys in Dokken, but Ratt was right there with 'em. 2 phenomenal releases that I played over...and over again. Dio, T.S. , Scorps, Whitesnake, Y&T, Zebra, arghhhhhh...all faves as well! What a year!

[crycin]

FOR ME => QUEENSRYCHE " the warning " , who is my favorite band !!

But it's very difficult to make a choice .

Dokken " tooth and nail" fantastic

Icon '"st" fabulous

Twisted Sister "Stay hungry" a great classical

Whitesnake " slide it in "

Ratt " out of the cellar" brilliant

Very tough choice between Bon jovi,kiss,ratt and Y&t. I went with the mighty Y&t great album with very smart lyrics.

the first album that come to my mind is Van halen 1984, strange that is not listed here. Still in rock we trust shoul d be my choice.

[Chris]

I went with SURVIVOR- Vital Signs

[metalmaniac777]

Allow me to be the first to vote for Black N Blue. "Chains Around Heaven"..."Wicked Bitch"..."Hold On To 18"...those are some great anthems, and while there are plenty of classic contributions to the hard rock genre on this list, Black N Blue is the album that gets the most play time in my stereo.

[speed demon]

Icon (s/t) got my vote in a close run off (I mean play off) with Dokken,Ratt and Black N blue!

One of my ALL-Time favorite songs was Track 2 from the Autograph (Sign In Please)

TURN UP THE RADIO!

[whiplash1972]

1984....year of the RATT, and some Rokken with Dokken!

[HighNDryRulz]

RATT!!!!!! Although some good competition, the opening riffs of Lack Of Communication were always a favorite and although some good hits on this one, Scene Of The Crime was my favorite track on this album

 

Yeah, I still remember the first time my friend put on a tape of Lack of Communication. EXCELLENT!!!

 

I went with Ratt, one of my Top 5 favorite albums of all time.

[aXe mAn]

1984 was another GREAT year for rock! There are so many good ones, it is hard to pick just one!

I narrowed it down to 4:

Dokken "Tooth & Nail"

Ratt "Out Of The Cellar"

Y&T "In Rock We Trust"

Whitesnake "Slide It In"

 

In the end, I went with....Dokken "Tooth & Nail"!

[HondoZ]

I am going with

Whitesnake-Slide it in!!!

[Rafo Phoenix]
