Another tough one.

"Too fast for love" as long as it`s the lethur version.

If Journey`s "Escape" had been there, I would have picked that instead.

"My name is Henry, and you'll deal with ME now......"

Rollins should have added that little tag to the album's first track instead of the last, but otherwise it was a great introduction to the fans of the seminal West Coast punk band, as well as those new fans, that only looked in the album bins and might have missed the previous Black Flag singles & EP's with other singers.

This record was actually still decidedly old school hardcore, though future efforts with Rollins would move more to the metallic side of the spectrum. It was the perfect time for music that blurred the lines of metal & punk, a theme that would be further carried out a year later when a demo tape called "No Life Till Leather" from an unknown San Francisco band started circulating openly up and down the west coast.

Definitely my favorite album of 1981 to this day, along with its Canadian counterpart DOA's "Hardcore 81".

Diary of a Madman an absolute classic.

My favourite DL album is Pyromania although I may be in a minority on that around here.

The Motley album sounds like a demo.

Wanted to give it to Venom and Motorhead both, but went for Diary instead. Gotta give Ozzy and RR props...plus, outside of Blizzard and Diary, wouldn't be voting for any other Ozzy album.

I clicked on "Other": The Scorpions ~ "Blackout"

For the amazing riffs and solos. Damn, Jabs tried very hard to get close to EVH - just listen to "Dynamite" or "Now" again.
It's not my fave, but well.
I nearly voted for Ozzy's "Diary" when I remembered "Blackout". :cool:
