Most improved band of 1987
The nominees for the most improved band of 1987 are...
Alice Cooper
Black Sabbath
Dio
Helloween
Kreator
Possessed
Some good choices, but it goes to Kreator.
Their 1985 release "Endless Pain" might have just barely made a top 25 albums list for that year. Their 1986 album "Pleasure to kill" would not have made a top 25 list for that year. However, in 1987 Terrible Certainty was so good that it got the number three slot. A very strong offering and the first of several solid efforts that this band would put out.

I have to disagree. Although roughly produced, "Pleasure To Kill" is a barnstormer. Also, "Terrible Certainty"s follow-up, "Extreme Aggression", is so weak and lacking in power that I find it to be unlistenable.
Pleasure to Kill and Terrible Certainty were certainly their peak. I think TC deserves the most improved production award, more like.
