35 Ministry-The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste
36 Kyuss-Blues For The Red Sun
37 Skid Row-Skid Row
38 System Of A Down-Toxicity
39 Kid Rock-Devil Without A Cause
40 Tenacious D-Tenacious D

I'll put VH1 #2 in my personal list. If 1984 is there, I feel that FUCK, VH2 and 5150 have to be there too.

I like hairbands but Ratt at 34... it's pushing it a bit too far. Tenacious D made the list... signs that the world is coming to an end... this is a sign that says "Even though VH reunited with Sam and Dave, they won't sell shit"

If 1984 is metal, than so is Phil Collins's "No Jacket Required" [img]smile.gif[/img]

I agree with most of the list with one HUGE exception. As a good as 'Appetite for Destruction' was, I can't see it being #1. I would rank it definitely in the Top 10 and maybe in the Top 5 but no way #1.

DLR albums make up almost 10% of the top 32 albums!

Nice to know that people are taking notice of Tool.

Eat Em' And Smile made the list! Whoo Hoo! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bounce.gif[/img]

I would say these selections give the list TOTAL credibility!

The term "Metal", as in Heavy Metal, has many different subcategories, and VH came out in 1978 they were considered a Heavy Metal band. VH are a Rock N Roll band, a Hard Rock band, and in terms of histroy, at leats the Roth years, they were a Heavy Metal band(I know I thought of them as being a Metal band back then...)

Hell, The Who were considered Metal back in the 60's...it's all relative guys...

WOW!! Three Roth albums in the top 32, pretty kool!!!

Slayer = Thrash Metal
Poison = Hard Rock or Glam Metal
Van Halen(Roth years) = Hard Rock or Heavy Metal
Iron Maiden = Heavy Metal
Judas Priest = Heavy Metal
Led Zeppelin = Hard Rock or Heavy Metal
Korn = Nu Metal
Motorhead = KICK ASS Heavy Metal

That's really a subjective list Spin made there. What do you guys think should be number 1? I'm gonna go with Led Zeppelin-Runes.

[dirtymovies]

Surely Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" could replace one of those!

EEAS!!!!! nice one! -

Where the hell is Sabbath's Sabotage?????
