Anything by Blue Oyster Cult, early Uriah Heep, Mahogany Rush, Lucifer's Friend

I agree with the Uriah Heep part, perhaps Demons and Wizards. Also, i think the classics section desparately needs a review of "Master of Disguise" by Savage Grace. Excellent album don't know why this band wasnt more popular.

Anything the Heep released up to Magician's Birthday is classics material ! :dio:

Yeah Uriah Heep is an excellent band. There's a song on Salisbury that sounds like a King Diamond....before King Diamond became king Diamond.

Bird of Prey?

I know a certain Canadian would be happy if I did Vendetta - Brain Damage. What do you other guys say?

Archive (and a good one at that) but not a classic.

It's classic. No doubt about it.

It's perfect in everyway.

It thrashes your balls off.

The musicianship is top notch.

It's perfect and one of my all time favourite albums.

Do it Thomas!

Have to agree with the Nut here... I think it's a cult classic for sure..

LS just doesn't like Canadians.

But I guess it's ok seeing as how everybody hates the french.

Well... you know my opinion... I repeat what I said in Forbidden/Forbidden evil.

I'm not gonna discuss if it's a classic or a 90-100 archive review. It's one of them, and personal opinion will put it in one of the two lists.

I don't think it's a classic because albums as:

Heathen - Breaking The Silence (archive, 90/100)
Metal Church - The Dark (archive, 95/100)
Kreator - Extreme Aggression (archive, 95/100)
Coroner - Punishment for Decadence (archive, 96/100)

aren't classics. But that's just my opinion.

But well, its one great, incredible album, in the thin line that divide classic albums of almost-classic albums.

You were right then and you're right now!
If those albums didn't get a classic review, there's no way a (very good) second rate band like Vendetta does.

The only thing second rate about Vendetta is your opinion of them.

If Kreator released and album like Brain Damage it would be an instant classic. Everything about the album is perfect, but because Vendetta is not very well known people tend to overlook them.

I respect what Ganesha is saying, but come on Brain Damage is better than those albums in that list. If not better at least equal. As Thomas said, cult classic. Also a classic review would also get more people on this site to check them out. Now no way should Go And Live...Stay and Die should be a classic, that should be an archive.

Brain Damage is so much more than thrash though. There are blues and jazz elements in the music. Even some early death metal. The musicianship is flawless and the song writing is amazing.

But hey, that is my opinion. Brain Damage is like my all time favourite thrash album, and I think it should get classic status.

Oh and Lucy, lets be friends.

I'll admit I haven't listened to Vendetta's Brain Damage in, at least, 10 years. So, let me give it a spin and get back at you. :wink:

Ho, btw, what's your opinion of their 2007's reformation "album" (mini album? :unsure:

)? I played it twice when it came out and was quite disappointed with it... :lame:

Hate

Hate is rather, different. Different because I loved the old Vendetta so much that Hate was too different for me to take. Since then though I have come to enjoy parts of it. Like the song Mother for example, the middle part is awesome. I sometimes put the song on for a second time just to hear it again. But overall it was a pretty weak album. Too groovey and not enough of the technical awesomes from yesteryear.

EDIT - oh yeah, it's a full album not a mini-album

I don't think it's better than all four, but it's moreless equals to them. I prefer these 4, but it is in the same league, and I prefer Brain Damage to Forbidden.

Perhaps what I'm trying to say it that there four deserve classic status too :dio:

But I'm not against a Vendetta classic review, I really don't matter between a 95-100 archive review and a classic one, there's no difference for me.

Classic petitions: you know, Thin Lizzy, Angel Witch, Sabbat & Skyclad... and fulfill Judas & Black Sabbath discographies.

Ok well I agree with everything you said. Just that I like Brain Damager better, but they all deserve to be classics.
