Great album, also Vinnie Moore - Mind's Eye should be on the 1986 chart.

>EPs I wished they were LPs

Parasite-Nightwinds, also because they didn't release anything after that
Mystic Force- Take Command, and I also wish they had better production, because Immortal Souls is a banger of a track that is buried by subpar mixing.

Songs about Bad Trips?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQAMEh6UlOc
>>
>>129586716
not about a drug trip (i honestly can't name anything else besides that scorpions song) but this is about getting drunk and taking pills
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI_2SchPjks
>>
>>129586840
Good enough. Killer song.
But I guess metal sort of moved past the psychedelic thing early on, now that I think about it.
>>
>>129586840
In that same vein here's a classic about Ian Gillan getting shitfaced and crashing Bill Ward's car

>But I guess metal sort of moved past the psychedelic thing early on, now that I think about it.
this is very early on in the genre's history, but i'd say metal didn't actually lose its psychedelic edge until around 1975.

>>129586947
damn i haven't listened to born again in a while. love the solo.

Manowar-Hail to England

My guilty pleasure
>>
>>129587037
>blackout by scorpions is about having a hangover and waking up next to an ugly chick lol

From what I know it was about overcoming a very difficult period for the band, right after they released Animal Magnetism, when Klaus lost his voice and other assorted troubles.

How the fuck can a 10/10 masterpiece be a guilty pleasure?
>>
>>129592828
Isn't Manowar considered to be pretty embarrassing?
>>
>>129592828
Because they are openly racist and ignorant, yeah I know "based", "based".
>>
>>129592890
Are Manowar "racist"? Based indeed, I might have to listen to more by them.

Nobody who isn't sheltered from world events would title their album "hail to england" lmao.
The album rocks, but come on.

Maybe you can call them cringy.

These guys aren't even british, they're from new york. The album title (and the song) was supposed to be a a tribute to their fans in england. IIRC they got popular there.
>>
>>129594244
All true.

They aren't even cringey lyrically. Blood of my Enemies feels like a viking elegy, it could be the inspiration for a film like the Norseman. It's a great epic metal album.

>>129595566
why are you such a fucking pussy? manowar racist? naming your album hail to england is "problematic"? go back wherever you came from and fuck off from metal forever.

I'd like to throw in one more nomination that seemed to have gotten neglected: Smut - Blood Smut Tears

This is what happens when Riot Grrrl plays Metal instead of Punk:

I have no opinion on Manowar, I just gave an explanation why he might call them a guilty pleasure

>>129596947
Maybe you should get one then instead of going around thinking they are considered to be "pretty embarrassing"?
