ha ha ha ha, Love the mum comment, my mum still brings up WASP "The Headless Children" when she asked for it…although I thought she might have been used to it by that album lol
Slayer . D???? Good thing I like you Kg. Savatage is amazing (being a Florida boy). Wish King Diamond Abigail was on here. That would have been S tier for me.
Rambling on and on at the start
Awesome job as always! Great picks and fascinating ranking.
My Top 5 metal albums of the 80s/90s:
Pantera – Far Beyond Driven
Sepultura – Chaos AD
Slayer – South of Heaven
Metallica – Metallica
Iron Maiden – Somewhere In Time
Can you do Zappa?? (ok, not all the albums – only life-released 😉
Love at First Sting-A Tier
Trilogy-S Tier
Heaven & Hell-S Tier
Holy Diver-A Tier
The Warning-A Tier
Painkiller-A Tier
Keeper of the Seven Keys-S Tier
Somewhere in Time-S Tier
Yngwie in S? hmmmmmm
Really fun to watch! But S should be Reign in Blood, Heaven and Hell, Rust in Peace and Painkiller
Even helloween and slayers worst albums dont belong that low
Slayer in D. I am deleting internet. 🙂
I agree with Kyle on Slayer. I never got into them but totally understand their importance and influence.
Savatage is great. Never liked painkiller that much compared to their 70’s output.
Vulgar at C is just someone being cute! Just be honest in giving a rating no need to look like you know more than others! You know what they say about the smartest person in the room…
Welcome.. in This episode ..UP is DOWN .. DOWN is UP ..S and D tier is all the same.. we named it…. The Wheel of CONFUSION!!!!
HOLY cow(boy)????
Idk man I would’ve picked The Dark or the first Metal Church album. I loved that weird blend of thrash and power metal they had going on. Start the fire being one of my favorite mid tempo metal songs
You guys are out of your continental minds not putting Painkiller in S.
you should do album tiers by the year!
Did this KG guy get hit in the head before the show?
Is this how Rolling Stone makes their lists? The world makes sense..
Answer to the master. Impelliteri. Best 90s hard rock album. .
This is ridiculous… and the criteria for selecting these groups of albums makes no sense. Ranking albums like Reign in Blood in comparison to Love at First Sting is just silly. Both are great for different reasons, and influenced very different areas of music. It would make more sense to do "80's thrash debuts" or "smash hit glam albums" but mixing all these together is puzzling…
My S tier would be Ride the Lightning, Vulgar Display of Power, Rust In Piece, and Somewhere In Time
I gotta agree with Streets. When I first heard that album, I was mesmerized. And it holds up very well today. Insanely great album.
Love this tierlist. The fact that everybody has different opinion is the best part and the fact that you choose for this Wheel episode only „all time classics” is the best because like Roy like to say – „Something need to end at D tier” ????????????. And because of that it’ll always be controversial ????. My list would be different and I don’ t have any problem that yours end up like that. ???? Love, love, love!!! Super enjoyable, Please consider making other videos in this format ❤
P.S. Kyle, I m with you. Helloween for S tier ????. Love your brave opinions (not exactly agree also :P)
I think that the biggest blunder was made beforehand: no Death? I guess Kyle is to blame for that also if he chose almost all the albums. 🙂
That is the worst S list I have never seen, but great show just the same.
Thanks for putting Painkiller in its place, plain average.
