There was a bevy of great guitar albums released in 1995; here are the top 10 that won your votes. It's a sound collection made up of equal parts hard rock and grunge, with some blues and death metal making well-deserved appearances.
The top two albums came down to a numbers duel. Though it was close, the No. 1 record edged out No. 2 early in the race and never lost its lead.
The remaining albums performed well, but it was a runaway battle from the start between the top two. Both albums were fine turnouts from two popular -- but generation-divided -- bands.
In the end, however, only one could take home the title of Best Guitar Album of 1995. Check out the gallery below to see who got it.
