mmmonty: 1984 in metal | Sputnikmusic

ReturnToRock 07.22.20	Uhhh...dude? A kind of important album came out in 84. Something about Riding Lightning...you know the one?
Deathconscious 07.22.20	Metallica blow. Damn, i thought this was gonna be about metal songs that reference the book 1984.
mmmonty 07.22.20	I’ve heard Ride the Lightning. And Powerslave. This is a “to listen to” list. Who hasn’t heard Metallica in this day and age lol 1984 references in metal would be a dope list but I’m not knowledgeable enough
farmerobama 07.22.20	Saint Vitus - s/t
mmmonty 07.22.20	Great suggestion!
budgie 07.22.20	great list sodom - in the sign of evil, destruction - sentence of death - hellhammer - apocalyptic raids !
Casavir 07.22.20	"Metallica blow." He says as he puts Anthrax lmao
Deathconscious 07.22.20	As i "put anthrax"? What? This isnt my list.
Casavir 07.22.20	Oh, I didn't notice lol. Either way, awful opinion.
Allergist 07.22.20	I really don't get how someone can love metal but not appreciate Metallica. It makes no sense to me. Even from the "they sold out" angle it confuses me. 84 was a great year for metal but the only album that comes close to matching Ride The Lightning is maybe 6...
Casavir 07.22.20	Yeah, I really don't get it either. I almost wish they never released anything after '88 solely so people didn't try to retroactively shit on their first four albums.
Dissonant 07.22.20	the only cringe around here is a fucking whiny ass bitch named deathconcious who cannot help but post shit trying to get me (a loserdork apparently) to respond to him every single day of the week. like if i wasnt worth your time why would you be constantly just trying to post and get me to respond to you. you think you're original guess what you're making the same argument that millions of trolls before you have, you're not special for constantly refreshing my page seeing if i post something so you can comment. fucking idiot stay mad.
mmmonty 07.22.20	As this is my list: for the record I like Ride and Master a lot. Just so we’re all clear
Egarran 07.22.20	Despite also being of some age I've heard embarrassingly few of these albums. 1 and 3 are the only ones I really know. Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath
budgie 07.22.20	wtf egarran
Egarran 07.22.20	ikr what am I missing
DopeFiend 07.22.20	3 is untouchable
mmmonty 07.23.20	I added the Hellhammer and Destruction but not the Sodom as it was released in 1985. And I’ve heard Don’t Break the Oath (many many times) but thank you for the suggestion. Open to more of course!
ReturnToRock 07.23.20	That Hellhammer album is something else. Like the Ramones but for blackdeathrash. Anyway: Dio - The Last in Line Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force Manowar - Hail to England Scorpions - Love At First Sting Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry Van Halen - 1984 Warlock - Burning the Witches Although I'm assuming you heard most if not all of these (as well as the W.A.S.P. one.) Leaving out AC/DC and Bon Jovi as not sure if they're your thing.
aydross121 07.23.20	Missing the uspm classics: Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction Omen - Battle Cry
Egarran 07.23.20	Hail to England is awesome
mmmonty 07.24.20	@budgie, i liked the Hellhammer quite a bit, thank you for the suggestion.
evilford 07.24.20	3 is untouchable [2]
aydross121 07.25.20	"3 in untouchable" https://i.postimg.cc/9FR0DbrH/touch.png Checkmate metalheads
budgie 07.25.20	sure mmmonty, what do you mean by controversy?
budgie 07.25.20	some fun albums: brocas helm - into battle (traditional heavy metal) omen - battle cry (traditional heavy metal) medieval steel - medieval steel (traditional heavy metal) w.a.s.p. - w.a.s.p. (sleazy hair metal) wish brocas helm were more popular on this site
Egarran 07.25.20	>https://i.postimg.cc/9FR0DbrH/touch.png That's pretty hot ngl
mmmonty 07.25.20	@budgie sorry i wasn't clear; there's like a whole section on the wikipedia article for the album about how everybody hated it and it was the worst thing ever. but listening to it 35 years later, it sounds fine!
