Indeed an insanely good year for metal. Only trumped by 1986.

Personal fave from that year:

And the all-time classic runner ups:

Hmm, all British... :confused:

I have a real soft spot for unmasked :thumbsup:


any year that has Randy Rhoads on an album is OK in my book :rock:
 
Even though it was a tongue in cheek post, Unmasked has a few of my favorite Kiss songs on it. But what do I know, I've liked The Elder since it first came out :D

...Also proved very inspirational later on...

Re: Unmasked; I got it on vinyl (used) some 20 years ago for my b-day and it was so damn scratched, I was never able to listen to it.

Me too! Still have my original copy on vinyl!

This thread led me here; I actually never heard this version before...makes me think less of Metallica, they really were "inspired" by this band
