I’m really pleased to see Overkill at the top of your list. Top 5: 1. Motörhead: 1916 2. Overkill: Horrorscope 3. Bolt Thrower: Warmaster 4. Sepultura: Arise 5. Razor: Open Hostility

[@stefannita3439]

Slave to the Grind is number 1 for me. It's actually one of my favorite albums of all time, period. The guitar work is heavy, aggressive, and groovy, with some really cool Hendrix-inspired parts and tones here and there (you can see them using old Strats in videos from back then). And the vocals, oh man. I'm simply blown away that a human voice can produce all those sounds. Bach runs the gamut from boyish light tenor vocals (Wasted Time, Quicksand Jesus) to absolute larynx-shredding madness (Riot Act, Livin' On A Chain Gang, many others). One of the best vocal performances of all time in my opinion. Sadly he didn't maintain that level of prowess, or he would be right up there with Dio, Dickinson and Halford for me. On that album he's definitely on that god-tier metal singer level.

[@ReRubberman2009]

For 1987 and 1989 made Top 20 Albums. Its best years for Best albums!!!

[@jamesbedford3774]

That Holy Moses record cover looks like the loading screen for a ZX Spectrum game. Being serious, 'Symbol of Salvation' is a great record. Easily the best of your picks, in my opinion.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Awesome list ! I was hoping to see that album at #1 ... thrashterpiece ! I totally agree about what you said about The Human Factor , must have Metal Church ! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘 Stay Safe

[@brycetalksmetal]

[@doopum1]

Voivod - Angel Rat and Last Crack- Burning Time

[@matteuslizdas]

[@shamrock32]

Hungry by XYZ, I can't stop listening to that album.

[@seagullpoet]

HEATHEN sound great ! Never heard of them before.

[@toasttoasted3492]

Best Skid Row album ..Period !!

[@salamwati9281]

Wow Dude..that opener album Massacre 'From Beyond'..sets the tone for your list to be more death metal theme..when i bought it on tape i hv always thought it is almost like a Death early era album. Armored Saint masterpiece in Symbol of Salvation their only album i hv on anniversary disc. 😎

[@ritualdeathmetal]

What's the Massacre song?

[@jesserapkin2660]

I can tell by the bands and songs you pick that you have a certain preference of music, but I'm surprised that someone who likes skilled guitar work, didn't include "Blessed Are the Sick" in this list. Even though death metal as a whole might be your thing, you might enjoy this album.

[@stefanodolara3429]

Also SAVATAGE Streets, SKID ROW Slave to the Grind, MOTORHEAD 1916, MR. BIG Lean into it, L.A. GUNS Hollywood Vampire, OZZY No More Tears, VOIVOD Angel Rat

I know you mentioned it but for me 90' was leaps and bounds better than 91' - that said I'm not into death metal or most of the bands here. Nice job nonetheless!

[@annaleebliss4618]
