VOTE For Your Favorite "One And Done" Bands / Albums!! CLASSIC METAL POLL

No pun intended, I'm sure.  


I was sitting here for hours and hours, armed with my dictionary for the battle of the "one and done" poll, until I´m
green in the face, doomed to describe this gem and you say this pun was not intended.   LOL

You're a punny one, Cailen!  

I voted for Red Sea Blood. I'm not sure if this can be a one and done album where half the members of Badlands (bassist and drummer) are in this band and its a similar style. 

Recon Behind Enemy Lines is also good. 

I'm surprised Eternal Ryte is not included which is a decent album. I have the CD and vinyl reissue on order. 

Zion is not included but there is Thrillseeker anthology demos album released in 2007 so I think they wouldn't quite qualify. That would depend on if a demos album would be included.

That would have been a good choice, yes.  But as stated in the 1st post comments (which some apparently didn't read because they felt pressured to pick just one) there was only room for 10.  I probably picked the 10 that are there based on recent activity and discussion on the board.

Also as mentioned in the comments was "Feel free to list ANY OTHER TITLE in the comments since I only had room to list 10 in the Poll."  So Eternal Ryte is duly noted and is a good release.

I also would have liked to list Chariot (FL), and possibly Oracle, Contagion, etc.

I only know Recon

Dreamer is underrated. Red Sea is overrated. Yeah, I said it.

Honestly....yeah.  IMO Red Sea is overrated.  And I'm a big fan of blues-y hard rock, bands like Badlands, early Whitesnake, Bad Company, Sarepta, etc.   It's probably my favorite rock genre.

The Red Sea album is just lacking that extra spark.  Probably a long discussion there, not something I want to detail here but I could go on about what I feel it's missing.  It's a good album for sure, just not a great one when you compare it to other standard-bearers of the genre.

The Recon and Rage Of Angels albums deserve their number of votes IMO.  But everyone's different.

Dreamer didn't get any votes though.  Multiple choice is allowed so...if you feel it's underrated, feel free to give it a vote.

I tossed it some love, along with RoA and Recon.

I hear that love makes the world go 'round.

I also heard that it's a wonderful thing. And even a many-splendored thing.

I also heard, that what the world needs now is love sweet love.
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.....

(Breaking into song now....I might start dancing too, watch out!     )

I haven't heard six of these. I assume they are more on the hard rock side of things because I haven't spent much time investigating that. I went ahead and voted for Emerald and Recon because those are both great. The Emerald is one of my favorite trad/power releases.

71 people voted wrong.

It's multiple choice though....so more than 1 answer is allowed. 

Plus, Red Sea has done rather well actually.   As I knew they would.

This is heretical.

I mean, Red Sea is better than the last Brave album.
