thanks for the props on the list!

“And Justice”…is average at best -yes.

I never got into “One” either. I liked the double bass beat for a bit but yeah, don’t believe the hype (incl. the video).

RIOT at #5!

I like that list of yours… quite a batch of Metal goodness.

Honestly, “And Justice For All” was a “good” Metallica album… that’s all I feel about it. I’m very bias with my liking their historic/prolific “first three” albums. I am NOT ashamed to tell the world that the song “One” just never stuck with me. Even when I first heard “One” back then… I didn’t get it.

With that said… I still LOVE “my” Metallica!

I forgot but RIOT’s “Thundersteel” made my Top 25 releases that year!

*Just don’t look at #1, that is the only one I would change. I did not have a lot of time to spend with it and I would def. knock it down about 15 spots!

The halford stuff is alright. he doesn’t make or break it. if you want to hear some really whacked out stuff from bobby, check out the spastic ink stuff he did with his brother. it’s insane.

yes, the drumming is top notch on some of those RIOT releases!

Bobby is pretty sic. Isn’t he is the big bro to the dude that was in Watchtower?

I have the old JUGGERNAUT albums…87′s Trouble Within & Baptism Under Fire from the prev. year (I think).

How is that HALFORD stuff? I never heard it.

I thought I heard that he filled in on some FATES WARNING tour dates as well?

While I also prefer ThunderSteel and Privilege of Power, the early stuff is great.

I used to have this live album on CD years ago. Not sure what happened to it.

I dig freakin’ RIOT! I especially liked them when they became a Power Metal band. I got into them with “Born in America” which was just a fantastic release. “You Burn in Me” & “Wings of Fire” are just sick. My favorites are “Thundersteel” & “The Privilege of Power”. I went back and listen to the older stuff and discovered why people love them so much. Scott Ian from Anthrax was talkin’ them up in a metal mag back in the day as an influence, which is why I checked out the back catalog. Great ROCK band. I’m goona have to throw some RIOT onmy iPod. HORNS UP! \m/

Love me some RIOT!

*even when they turned into a POWER Metal band in the late 80′s/early 90′s?

That Live album is great, in fact a band that I was in used to cover the “Swords & Tequila” track.

Rock on!
