RAC 2/3 for this week is dedicated to 1988 - a pretty strong year for heavy metal and not so much for progressive rock but I tried to make it as random as I could; pick your favorite album of these 15 and tell us who you picked. I will go for Metallica's bass-less but excellent release '...And Justice for All'.  |

Loads of great albums there, but most I came to after the fact. Maiden I was in love with at the time, and the rose tinted nostalgia, along with it being a Damnation fine album, means they knock every other album out of contention for me. If I ignored Maiden, and the historical love I have for that album compared to the rest of the albums I love, but came to later, this becomes a much harder question to answer. 🤔🤷🏻♂️ ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Talk Talk and Cardiacs are the outstanding choices here. Vote for Cardiacs on the mood of the day. |

That was a tough one between Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Queensryche. Decided to go with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Class of 1988 rules! -------------

Cardiacs, although Queensryche came close! And 'Ram it down' is alright. 'Hard as iron' elevates it a bit. I must have listened to that song a hundred times when I first heard it. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

For me it's between three very different bands: Queensrÿche, Cardiacs and Dead Can Dance. The Serpent's Egg is maybe the most unique of these albums... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

This
 . A masterpiece of an album that needs as much love as it can get. On the other hand, Seventh Son... has never been a favourite of mine. The Voivod and Queensryche albums are much more up my street in metal terms. |

Shocked to see I'm the first to vote for It Bites wonderful album!Great year though, agreed. ...And Justice For All was the first really heavy album I bought and I still love it. King's X first album (Out Of The Silent Planet) is another masterpiece from this year. Maiden, David Lee Roth, Helloween, Living Colour; hell, even Bon Jovi made a decent album that year But the one everyone loves and I can't get on with is Queensryche....

Maiden, Cardiacs or Talk Talk? I could not foresee any of these winning but this is why these polls are interesting! Little time for the winner to be clear.  |

That’s quite funny, because they’re easily my top three. Cardiacs is the album I think should be my favourite, and would be my favourite, if I hadn’t had Iron Maiden since I was a wee sprog. I like it more than I would if I had come across it at the same time as Cardiacs. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| I don't know why I missed this poll from March, 2021. Ill go with The Serpent's Egg over A Little Man and A House and the Whole World Window and Spirit of Eden. Those three would make my personal non-random list of 1988 albums. |
