hmm...just had a look at Kerrang critics EOY lists & these are their actual 25 albums of each year, except for :

1982 : their # 1 album of the year seems to have been Scorpions - Blackout. Number of The Beast was 7th.

1986 : their # 1 album of the year seems to have been David Lee Roth - Eat'em And Smile. Master Of Puppets was 3rd.

1987 : their # 1 album of the year seems to have been Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation. Appetite For Destruction was 4th.

So they've either changed their mind, in retrospect, on these 3 albums or it's just a plain old mistake.

Kerrang chose Bryan Adams?!?
