Prefer this over Every Breath You Take.

if @GrundleStiltzkin was still alive I’d tell him I’ve been coming around on Eliminator.

I have a minty OG pressing. But as phenomenal as his playing was I don’t think it has the standout hooks. Mostly standard blues licks albeit by a virtuoso.

Yella ya ignorant slut how da fuq did you leave off Looks That Kill (3 other riffs from Shout at the Devil are better than half the list), Metal Health, Balls to the Wall, Say What You Will, & Bark at the Moon? Hell throw in New Year’s Day for the bass line too

Sometimes we run out of room. Wasn't like I was ignoring all the great metal of 1983 in this poll, however.

Came here to say the same. Also Sharped Dress Man is the better riff from Eliminator. Motley shout at devil, and Metal Health all valid.
