393.0. "1988, cast your votes!" by EUCLID::OWEN (In a Locst wind coms a RATTLE AND HUM) Mon Dec 12 1988 08:49

    Ok, It's nearing the end of 1988.  Was this a good year for rock'n
    roll, and especially metal?
    
    What good stuff came out?  What bad stuff?  Concerts?
    
    Well, I think it's that time of year that we all should vote on
    what we think was the best/worst metal music of 1988.
    
    Please reply to this note, and don't clutter it up with meaningless
    replies.
