This past weekend saw the 20th anniversary of Guns N’ Roses landmark Use Your Illusion albums. But 1991 was also the year that many other landmark releases in hard rock and metal came out, including Metallica’s “Black Album,” Nirvana’s Nevermind, Ozzy Osbourne’s No More Tears, and many, many more. Below, we want you to weigh in and tell us what the best heavy release of 1991 was. Horns up!

    This poll sucks. You ask in 1991 what was the best hard rock or metal album and you got a lot of Grunge crap!!!!!!!Grunge is niether hard rock or metal. Grunge is the most worthless crap and those bands had no talent or musicianship Grunge sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

      I thank grunge for kicking hair metal’s lame ass.

    Where the hell is Countdown To Extinction??? 

    • Thelocke10

      That was 1992.

    Skid Row’s Slave to the Grind. The first Hard Rock album to debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums. Every song is pretty darn good, from a musicianship stand point to Bach’s voice.  They avoided the sophmore album slump and improved greatly from their first album.  Ozzy’s, GnR’s, and Metallica’s albums were all great. They are more than a few bands on the list that are not Hard Rock or Metal and should not be included.

    It says HEAVY release. Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins should not be on here if we’re talking HEAVY albums, not to name a few others. And to top it off, Smashing Pumpkins is second? Blow me.

    It does not matter who is on the list, the best album is winning.

  • Kay

    Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana should not be in the ‘metal’ category. This poll should be two categories.

    Iced Earth’s Night of the Stormrider. There’s just no competition.

  • Dan Watson

    Serious problem with Arise at 5%, unreal. Lots of great albums here, but I have to give that one the edge.

    It was obviously Bullhead then daylight. But Buzz said to just give it to Metallica so Lars didn’t turn into a bitch and he had to slap him again.
