Here's how obsessive I am: I'm seriously thinking about making a "master" list of all these and tallying up how many votes each record got.....

....so I can go back and listen to the ones I've forgotten about again, or start hunting for popular ones I don't have!!

beerandjesus · Post by **beerandjesus** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 6:13 pm

All right, I'm doing it. So far, the most popular EP is DANGER ZONE - VICTIM OF TIME with 4 mentions. Second place is GOTHAM CITY - BLACK WRITS with 3 votes.

I'll present more complete findings once we've had a few more contributions... and I'll be sure to make honorable mention of cool ones nobody else though of!!

...and rightly so!

The other 8 might be:
MERCYFUL FATE - s/t aka Nuns Have No Fun
GLACIER - s/t
SHOCK SPLIT - Under Wraps
OSTROGOTH - Full Moon's Eyes
FUTURE TENSE - Condemned to the Gallows
BLACK TASK - s/t
HELLOWEEN - s/t
OVERLORD (CAN) - s/t

Germans TEMPEST get an honorary mention for being incredibly awsome, but are disqualified since it's more of a maxi single really.
