I'll post one bracket each day (excluding Friday) until all 4 brackets for Round 1 are posted. I will leave the voting open for a couple of days only on each bracket, so vote early.

Okay, let's see:

Love Gun

Molly Hatchet

Romours

Pyromania (even though the "On Through The Night"-cover is better)

Holy Diver

Number Of The Beast (Even though, I was disapointed, when I saw this cover back in '82. "Killers" is a much better cover, and my favorite Iron Maiden-cover is on the single "Run To The Hills", that was released a couple of months before the album. The cover on "Piece Of Mind" is also a better cover than this)

Abbey Road (but the ALBUM-cover!!!)

Abominog

Not many of MY favorite-covers, huh? I count 3 out of the, what was it 15(?) I sent.

And here they are:

In no order what so ever:

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of ozz

Cheap Trick - first album

KISS - Destroyer

Rainbow - Rising

Iron Maiden - Killers

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Beatles - Abbey Road
