The Battle Of 86'

In the year 1986 many a good thrash metal album was released. I have picked some of the best, which is your favorite, why?

Let battle commence!

(The same can be done for 85' too!)

I'm torn between Pleasure to Kill and Reign in Blood. Darkness Descends is great too, but I always preferred Pleasure to Kill. Also, I'm not sure if Reign in Blood is my favourite Slayer album, so I might be leaning to Kreator.

I refuse to pick a fav out of those! I own them all, and love them all equally!

by **Atom** on Mon Mar 27, 2006 12:43 am

Its a tough one! I havent even picked yet!

by **AndyHC** on Mon Mar 27, 2006 12:46 am

Yeah, if one of those albums was up against any other record, i would pick that album, but u can not pit them against each other

Darkness Descends from that list. It's a shame that people associate '86 with the big four's best albums because so many good albums e.g. Exumer's Possessed by Fire get over-looked as a result.

^ Thats a kick arse album!

All good albums but no doubt for me. I bought it when it came out ....

Reign In Blood. Best. Album. Ever.

I picked Peace Sells...but for me, the best album of '86 was by far WatchTower's Energetic Disassembly.

I've always gotta go with Megadeth, just my favourite band of all time! But whoever said it was right, they're all kick ass. I have to say I prefer the later albums of some of these guys; for me metallica's best is ..And justice for All, Megadeth's is 'Rust in Peace', and (controversially) Slayer's is 'Seasons in the Abyss'.

I know that last bit is nothing to do with '86 but hey!

Damn, like them all for different reasons well the first 5 atleast, couldnt possibly say. Yup I'm sitting on the fence as usual with these things

by **Berith** on Mon Mar 27, 2006 6:05 pm

Harsh, but KREATOR all the way!

Year I was born, year of metal!

ps. Metallica r rubbish, Megadeth are worse.

voted for metallica but the best album to come out of 1986 in my eyes was Flotsams Doomsday for the Deceiver. kick ass thrash

by **amok** on Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:16 pm

i agree with keith but for the sake of the vote, Megadeth is is!

Slayer - Reign In Blood

No contest whatsoever. All those other albums listed are good thrash albums. Reign in Blood is THE thrash album.
