Why 1984? Because that's the year I was born. I'm not saying that my birthyear makes anything else significant, but I figured I would take an interest in every album that's as old as I am.
1. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
2. Autograph - Sign In Please

I love instrumentals (songs without vocals)!
One doesn't need words to convey a message and evoke emotions. Instrumentals also show how metal is very closely related to classical music!
These are…
1. Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane
2. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
3. Summoning - Minas Morgul
4. Metallica - ...And Justice For All
5. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance

^^Rules 2 songs per band but not for the same record^^

The real merit of covering a song is that it has to sound so good that everyone thinks it’s own creation.
Some people say that some covers are…
1. Voivod - The Outer Limits
2. Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
3. Motörhead - Motörhead
4. Metallica - The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited
