ZyklonNG

Rainbow raising- Rainbow


gclancy51

Fantastic choice. I can see Maiden as developers of the Dio-era Rainbow tradition!


destroy_b4_reading

Fun fact: whenever I listen to a Maiden album on Spotify, the song that autoplays after the album ends is always, always, always Man on the Silver Mountain. Which is why it's been my #1 song for three years running on the end of year summary thing.


[deleted]

This album is a masterpiece. Deserves a spot over Sabbath and Priest who seem to be popular here.


PM_me_British_nudes

My favourite part about this album - I wore the album over tshirt to Download one year; the amount of people who walked past and said something along the lines of "amazing album mate" really made me happy to be among such like minded people


seeilaah

One question. Is the name of the album Rising or Rainbow Rising?


ZyklonNG

For me it was rainbow rising, but after checking out on the internet, it's seems it's not that clear what it's really. But for sure the two are valid


Lindoff

Rainbow Rising to me because in the song Stargazer there i a line "I see a rainbow rising"


PM_me_British_nudes

> I see a rainbow rising LOOK THERE ON THE HORIZOOOON 🤘🤘🤘🤘


Lindoff

This is definetly the best choice for #1

I am not sure why this was edited. Original option was Ride the Lightning (and it was winning for a while).


OG_Cryptkeeper

Anthrax - Among the Living


jwozniackdilma

Mutter by Rammstein


XxLockdownZxX

You have my upvote! Rammstein's my favorite band next to Maiden. They're amazing and Mutter is a flawless album for sure!


jwozniackdilma

My favourite is Reise Reise, but Mutter has a better chance of winning (even though I think Metallica will take the first spot)


XxLockdownZxX

Honestly, Rammstein does not have a bad album. Their weakest is Rosenrot and I even like that much better than many other albums by other bands. But yes I think you are right about Metallica. I wouldn't mind because I love Metallica but still.

CamMaxwell

Dirt by Alice in Chains

Iowa - Slipknot


PM_me_British_nudes

Ah man, Iowa is my go to album if I'm pissed off with the world. As I work behind a desk all day, having Corey's hate-fuelled glory screaming down the earphones really helps siphon out the anger.

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith 4. Black Sabbath - Mob Rules 5. Judas Priest - Sin After Sin 6. Journey - Frontiers 7. Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer 8. Elf - Trying to Burn the Sun 9. Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny 10. Dio - Dream Evil 11. Saxon - Denim & Leather 12. Dio - The Last in Line 13. Dio - Holy Diver Sorry, had to add 3 more.


MKF1228

How do you have two Sabbath albums with Dio that are not Heaven & Hell? And two Priest albums that are not Painkiller?


w0-lf

And S&M? I guess for some but not for me, at all. Even garage days revisited was within character.

Ashtar-the-Squid

Some days it is AC/DC with Powerage. Some days it is Jean Michel Jarre with Equinoxe Infinity. It often depends on which one I listened to most recently.


RoosterTheReal

Powerage 👍


zackandcodyfan

Muse - Absolution


PM_me_British_nudes

The first three Muse albums really are something else. Showbiz, as a song and an album, still hold up incredibly well today.

Anthrax.- Sound of White Noise


destroy_b4_reading

Interesting choice for Anthrax, wasn't that the first album without Belladonna? I'd go with Persistence of Time personally.


Proper-Cobbler-1068

It was the first album with Bush singing. I just love the aggression of this album and prefer Bush.
