WASP
What about a WASP poll? WASP is one of my favourite bands. Needless to say that Blackie Lawless great vox and songwriting skills define the sound of WASP. What is your favourite WASP album?

Oops indeed, I forgot Dying For The World, but added Dominator; where is it?Black Axe wrote:Dying For The World or Dominator. Ooops...
Anyway, I go for the Crimson Idol; nothing but perfection imo. The song Chainsaw Carlie alone makes this album something special. This album just has everything.
But the first album belongs also on top. Love Machine, Hellion etc are nothing but ballchrushing pieces of steel.
I love the rest as well

Difficult to choose between The Crimson Idol and The Headless Children. TCI brings me back alot of good memories and Blackie sings with so much wrath on it... On the other hand, THC has Maneater and Rebel in the FDG which are hands down two of the 100 best Heavy Metal tracks ever recorded...I'll vote for THC this time.
Good against Evil, Evil sure to win

The Headless Children here, too. "I Wanna Be Somebody" from the 1st one was one of my top early-teen hymns but Headless Children as a whole stands far out. Reminds me I wanted to check out The Crimson Idol for ages, I lost track with that and didn't hear the later ones neither

Same here. I think the debut was one of my first heavy metal albums. I wonder what made me buy it back then.sagrotan wrote:"I Wanna Be Somebody" from the 1st one was one of my top early-teen hymns

Haven't heard all their albums, but THC is m fave. As others have noted, it has a great dark tone to it; Blackie's at his best when he's dark and at his worst when he's just doing shock rock. Earlier albums never clicked w/ me; kinda gimmicky/shock value. The 90s albums (CI, SNBE, KFD) are all pretty good, but Helldorado was awful and the Neon God albums were just rehashes of Crimson Idol.

Yeah, I agree, could never get into Headless... or Crimson...Abyss wrote:I could never get into the stuff after inside the electric circus for some reason, I know a lot of people like those albums better and I've gave them numerous chances but nothing clicks.
I may have to seek them out and listen to them again, considering most of you, who's tastes I acknowledge & appreciate, voted for them...
