Best to Worst Metal Albums of 1984

1.Metallica - Ride The Lightning
2.Metal Church - Metal Church
3.Autograph - Sign In Please
4.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
5.Trouble - Psalm 9

One doesn't need words to convey a message and evoke emotions. Instrumentals also show how metal is very closely related to classical music!

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
