Top Ten (+ 15) - Albums by American Bands

I was a little surprised to see I rated over 130 more albums by American bands than British bands (747 to 611). I thought the numbers would be closer. The breakdown was also interesting: only three bands have more than one album listed here (Megadeth and Metal Church each have three; Queensrÿche has two). There are also only three albums from the 70s and 13 from 1990 til now. The other 9 albums were recorded in the 80s.



Top 25 Albums:
96.37 -- Queensrÿche - Queensrÿche (EP) (1983)
