[Jérôme Frenchise]

So WARF's mega polls are back?! YyeeEEAAah!

Let's go!!

I voted for AC/DC. Would never have chosen "Blizzard of Ozz", though I dig it a lot, because VH isn't in the list.

[Last_Child]

AC/DC...Heavy Metal?

oh well...
Back In Black.

[Golden AWe]

I larve Back In Black...it's so tight it's better than some of the albums with Bon Scott...no shite...a very good album.

Van Halen albums are not included in this poll.

As well they shouldn't be.

I never considered CVH to be heavy metal.

[Terry]

FUCK!!

Man, I can't fucking choose between British Steel, Blizzard Of Oz and Back in Black.

JP, Ozzy and AC/DC sure as shit kicked ass that year!!!

Fuck it. Lemmy trumps them all.

Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

Heaven and Hell.

[The_KiD]

A bunch of great albums.... But there is nothing like Back in Black.. ACDC is my choice..

KiD

[Mr. Vengeance]

Back in Black is my 2nd Fave album...so an obvious choice.

[Mr Badguy]

All those are great, no mistake.

Every one a winner.

But my favourite of 1980 isn`t on the list.

Diamond Head "The white album".

A cult classic, the perfect meeting of the blues of Zeppelin, the riffs of Sabbath and the aggression of the NWOBHM.

I'm listening to that album right now... kinda inspired my 80's metal series!

It's an album that'll kick your stereo's ass if you don't pay respect to it. :D

AcDc hands down the most talked about in 1980 and one could argue, the most talked about hard rock album today. Has this CD been re-released?

Yeah, actually about 5 different times.

There was the original CD in about 1987.

Then the Albert Productions remasters in Australia.

Then the inclusion in the "Bonfire" box set.

Then the first Sony remaster.

And most recently the "Dual Disc" remaster with some videos from 1980.

It probably wins the award for the "Most Re-released Metal Album of All Time" - if there was such an award.
