I called it.
After the top 10 is finished I'm reviewing that album as an extra, it's so bad in many aspects it deserves a review.

5. Accept - Balls to the Wall
6. Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
7. Manowar - Into Glory Ride
8. Slayer - Show No Mercy

I'm assuming that he's snubbing Venom's At War with Satan and Motorhead's Another Perfect Day, and not counting Suicidal Tendencies S/T as metal. I'm also guessing he forgot about Mercyful Fate's Melissa, since he couldn't have considered it to be worse than all twenty of these albums, and it seems the only one of those last ones I can believe he'd have missed.
Motorhead didn't make the 20 and weren't Suicidal Tendencies hardcore at this time? Can't stand listening to King Diamond but do like Don't Break the Oath so should try and include it for 1984. Also that Venom album came out in 1984 and not 1983. And the second Manowar album is probably their poorest for their very early phase as well.

4. Metallica - Kill em all

My choice

1. Metallica - Kill em all
2. Motley Crue -Shout at the devil
3. Dio -Holy Diver

4th spot, Def Leppard, Slayer, Accept, Maiden as long as it doesn't include anything with King Diamond, its all good. I can't figure out how Manilla Road beat out Krokus btw, just sayin
Manilla Road highly original, whereas Krokus were an AC/DC knock-off, even though they were better than AC/DC at this time.

Between the two of you, you have seven of the final eight albums and the one album missing is the next one coming up.
