Quite a metal face off. I've always been a Metallica man so I'm going with RTL.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Really tough choice, but I went with Powerslave.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

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 :)

I love RTL almost just as much, though.

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'.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".
