so many great ones .... Leprosy, Survive, South of Heaven, How Will I laugh Tomorrow, Act of God, Malleus Maleficarum, 4 of a Kind, Eternal Nightmare, The New Order, The Morning After. i went with Survive for this poll.

Another easy one for me - Metallica!!!!!!

Love lots of albums on this list, but I had to go with Overkill

Death Angel is my choice from those in the poll. Would have chosen Act of God if it had been in.

Damn, 1988 was a great year!!

Gotta go with Metallica's AND JUSTICE FOR ALL as a sentimental fave.

SFSGSW. It's pretty rough around the edges but it is still exellent.

Geez, now this was a tough one to choose. Both Anthrax and Megadeth's releases were the soundtracks of my youth. I'm going with Megadeth's So Far... but just by a hair.

I was addicted to "Human Sacrfice" that year, so I went with it.

Metallica's AND JUSTICE FOR ALL saw more time in my car's cassette player that year than anything else on the list (and still does to this day), so I had to go with that!!

I went with Vio-lence from the list

tons of great stuff that year....my neck is still hurtin' folks


In actuality, my favorite is Sacred Reich's "surf nicaragua" from that year.

Had to go with Forbidden- Forbidden Evil. Again there was a lot of tough choices. A friend of mine used to take his brothers cassettes and let me borrow them. When he gave me this tape I thought it was awesome. I listened to it a lot in school. Same goes for alot of the other choices but I think this one beats them. I should give this a listen because its really been a long time since I've heard it. Actually "Follow Me" came on my ipod the other day on my way to work.

There are a lot of great ones!! I went with Slayer on this.

Forbidden Eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!

Can I vote for every album except AJFA?

I went with Testament, but that's a great list of releases right there.

Argh this is too hard! I almost went with So Far, So Good but in the end I probably listen to Under the Influence the most out of everything here. Amazing year as a whole though!

Listening to Forbidden Evil right now and I picked the right one.

Damn...1988 was incredible. I went with dimension hatross but easily could pick human sacrifice, morning after, forbidden evil, or state of euphoria, or how can I laugh tomorow too.

Vio-lence from this poll, but Morbid Saint would be the real deal.
