Top Metal Albums Each Year I Have Been Alive, 1988

A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

Man this list was a rough one, but in a good way 1988 is one of the best years in metal history and a lot of great release came out that year, cutting it down to just 20 was tough and ranking them was even harder.

1.Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime
2.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II
3.Bathory - Blood Fire Death
4.Candlemass - Ancient Dreams
5.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Top 100 Scrobbled Last Fm Metal Albums (updated 23/04/2015,07.04.2018)

So it is have been 3 year without few days since my last update ( it took me a while ),
And this top 100 prove's that we like to look into new genres or move back to 70' and yearly 80' for something easier to listen to. For me it was ambient/nefolk, some heavy metal and hardrock but in the end mostly heavy shit, my favourite death metal also black, trash metal and grind.

1.Skuggsjá - A Piece For Mind & Mirror
2.Vader - Welcome To The Morbid Reich
3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto
4.Aborted - Global Flatline
5.King Diamond - The Graveyard

Were their previous records successful enough to make these records great?

A work in progress…
Or those are great by themselves?
There are those who are completely overhyped or influence their way to the top.

1.Metallica - Metallica
2.AC/DC - For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
3.Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door
4.Rush - Signals
5.Black Sabbath - Born Again
