20 years Ago - 1987 - A great year for Music (Version 2.00 !!)

2 Dec 2007, 13:52

After a careful investigation through my vinyl collection (a real huge one!) I picked 10 albums that I think they were the best of 1987.
That was one of the best years in music 'till now so take a look at the best of the best according to my humble opinion.
Your own opinions and comments are more than welcome so I could check if I forgot something...

July 26 UPDATE: After careful thought and listening I have replaced "Malice - License to Kill" with "Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger". I hope you agree...

1987 Best Albums (in alphabetical order)

Agent Steel - Unstoppable Force

Death - Scream Bloody Gore

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Dokken - Back for the Attack

Exodus - Pleasures of the Flesh

Faster Pussycat - Faster Pussycat

Great White - Once Bitten...

Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien

Whitesnake - 1987

    Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
    Neurosis - Pain Of Mind
    Faith No More - Introduce Yourself

    There are a lot of other genres that had great releases in 1987, but I have a feeling you might agree with a few of these picks.

    Manowar - Fighting the World
    This was their 5th and weakest release until 1987. A few good songs and lots of fillers.

    Anthrax - Among the Living
    I forgot that! It would possibly appear in the next updated edition!

    Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
    I confess I forgot that masterpiece too..

    Neurosis - Pain Of Mind
    This is a 1988 release... and not one of my favs anyway.

    King Diamond - Abigail

    absolutely brilliant piece of horror heavy metal! I wish I had it on vinyl, that would be so awesome. CD is too digital for a tale dated back to the 19th century.

    Candlemass - Nightfall

    I prefer Tales Of Creation, but Nightfall is good too
