For me, this is very close to a comprehensive summary of the best metal from this year. I was 15 and grew up in this era and although I have to do my homework on a couple of these albums, I'm impressed and excited these albums have been voted up by the people. I cracked open the shrink wrap on Rust In Peace and Painkiller the week they released and spent many hours after listening on a Sony Discman and Sony MDRV6 headphones. CFH changed everything, I lost my mind hearing it for the first time on cassette in a friends car. I slept with the lights on in my room for a week after listening to Seasons, I could go on and on but AIC, Death, Suicidal, King's X...man! what a killer year for metal. It's validating to see these masterpieces celebrated 30+ years later and showing no sign of stopping!

No Prayer would be #2 behind Rust in Peace for me. Love the grit on that album. Maiden can do no wrong.

Some of the sharpest, most memorable soloing on the entire Maiden's catalog to be found on No Prayer, if not the best.

There is nothing to argue about for the first 3 albums. But Queensryche - Empire and AC/DC - The Razor's Edge should be in the top 5 in my opinion. My Top 5: 1. MEGADETH - Rust in Peace 2. QUEENSRŸCHE - Empire 3. SLAYER - Seasons in the Abyss 4. JUDAS PRIEST - Painkiller 5. AC/DC - The Razors Edge Honorable mentions: BRUCE DICKINSON - Tattooed Millionaire BLIND GUARDIAN - Tales from the Twilight World SUICIDAL TENDENCES - Lights... Camera... Revolution! IRON MAIDEN - No Prayer for the Dying ANNIHILATOR - Never, Neverland

You've got to give credit to Martin, he always gives his honest opinion and ratings, despite knowing people will diagree - 3 out of 5 for Painkiller - Wow! I will let him off though for mentioning Trouble and Danzig 2, both great albums. I also think Iron Maiden's No Prayer for the Dying is under rated, not as good compared to their earlier 80's stuff, but still better than anything released since.

Grunge didn't explode until 1991. However the year 1990 was a time when Underground/ Alternative Rock was starting to make some noise courtesy of releases by Janes Addiction, The Pixies, Sonic Youth & Faith No More who appeared on SNL.

Depends on definition, the bands themselves never called their style Grunge, this was coined by the Sub Pop label I believe, and referred to the Seattle scene of the late 80s, very much an underground scene, which had its roots in the early Green River and Melvins records. That scene was basically over by the time Pearl Jam and Nirvana released their 1991 albums. A lot of new bands after '91 kinda tried to 'sound like Nirvana' but had no connection to that underground scene

May I suggest a change of system? Instead of just selecting one, just have us choose our top 3 and in each comment we rank the 3 choice: 3rd place gets point, 2nd place gets 2 and 1st gets 3 points. I know it will take more time, but let's be honest: It sucks to leave out possible picks that won't even get an honorable mention + there's not an infinite number of years we can go back & revisit, so...

1990 was such a great year for metal. My favourite one is Death Angel - ACT III and others that were not even even mentioned Living Colour's Time's Up, Deicide's debut, Sacred Reich's American Way, Tankard's Meaning of Life and Prong's Beg To Differ come to mind.
