Time again for Heavy Metal Thunderdome where you pick which album you prefer based on the music. If you think of the early 1980's and England you probably think of the NWOBHM scene and that's understandable because it was a very busy and exciting scene. Yet a lot of veteren bands were going strong or heating up again at the same time as well including Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Ozzy and Budgie. So I picked to of those to pit against one another today. It is...




Black Sabbath-Mob Rules

vs.



Motorhead-The Ace of spades

***Based on the music which album do you prefer?

Heavy Metal Thunderdome

Another match-up of two hard rock giants. Remember you are picking based on the music in this contest. If you were a teenager or older around 1983-84 then these two albums were likely staples for you. Or at least I am assuming you have good taste based on the fact that you are here reading this. Anyways here is the match-up....



Def Leppard-Pyromania

vs.



Van halen-1984

***So which album do you prefer?

Heavy Metal Thunderdome

I still think that 1984 was absolutely the best year ever fro hard rock and metal. Think about the albums that came out that year from the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Van Halen, Dio, WASP, Dokken, Accept, Anthrax, Deep Purple and Whitesnake. That's just for starters. Not one to throw out easy match-ups I selected two albums from 1984 and remember with Heavy Metal Thunderdome judging which album you prefer based on the music. So let's get ready to rummmmmmble.

It's west coast vs east coast in this contest.
