Sigh the days when you would walk to school and see 20 high school kids gathered by the baseball rafters wearing Judas Priest & Motley Crue jean jackets. Its sad that rocker culture died out, I miss it.
Anyways thought it would be a little higher on the list considering its relevance, but as usual your doing an awesome job! cheers.

I also remember this rocker culture from school, were you'd get guys walking around in denims and long hair, with the names of their favourite bands (Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest etc) stitched onto the jackets. It kind of died out as a trend, which is a surprise as it was always 'the culture of the outsider' anyway.
I toyed with the idea of putting
Metal Health higher, but the problem is that about 40% of the album contains material probably not good enough for a top 10 placing, even though with the exception of "Thunderbird" these songs aren't bad just a bit mediocre.
Metal Health is still the second highest glam metal album on this year's list.
