Best Heavy Metal Albums Of 1988

Wednesday July 30, 2008
1988 was another rock solid year for heavy metal. This year's list saw only two bands making it for the first time: Queensryche and Danzig. The rest all made it in a previous year or years, and it's no surprise to see groups like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer on the list. Here are my choices for the best metal albums of 1988. Make sure to post your feedback and lists in the comments section below.

(1) H-LO says:

Solid, yes. The first four are a no-brainer in their inclusion (with 7th Son at least higher than South of Heaven, their most energetic since …Beast). I would throw in Manowar with Kings of Metal to complete the Top 5.

(2) Never Displayed says:

I would say that From Enslavement to Obliteration belongs on this list. Probably in the top five.
