80's Metal Poll
The overwhelming majority of you (90%+) said that  bands that were formed in the 80's were better in the 80's!!
To some, the 80's unfortunately only represents glam/pop metal. The reason probably being that this form of music was so commercially successful. But remember, the early 80's also gave us such classic albums as Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil", Judas Priest's "Screaming For Vengeance", Metallica's "Ride The Lightening", not to mention the host of other 80's bands that put out countless killer albums during that period.

What this poll focused on was the 80's bands that remain together to this very day. Bands like Slayer, Metallica, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, Ozzy Osbourne, etc. The poll question was simple, do you think that these bands released their best CD's in the 80's???

Top 5 Metal Vocalists

#1. James Hetfield of Metallica took the title as the BEST METAL VOCALIST!! Despite all the bickering, metal fans still think James is one of the best.

#2. Phil Anselmo of Pantera came in at an extremely close second.

#3. Geoff Tate, Queensryche. This was a surprise, at least to me. I haven't seriously listened to them since Operation Mindcrime.

The next three are all tied for the #4 spot, thus making this a list of the top six vocalists. Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura), Ronnie James Dio and King Diamond.
