Quite a metal face off. I've always been a Metallica man so I'm going with RTL.

Ride the Lightning. I do like Powerslave but not more than Metallica at their peak.

EDIT: Votes are tight so far!

My favourite chorus ever! :)

What a final, both in my top 10 albums of all time. Powerslave wins though. Even better than last years final :)

Wow... doesn't look like 1985 is going to break the trend either!  1986 likely will though.

Funny... when I describe DT to people who have never heard of them, I say 'put Rush and Iron Maiden together'.
