Riot's "Rock City"

I've never been comfortable with labeling Riot's 1977 "Rock City" album as a legitimate metal album. It's much more in line with your standard US hard rock sound. I'm proposing that it be removed from The Guardians & tagged as "Non-metal".

This release has been added to the Hall of Judgement.

I've never been too sure about the release year for Riot's Rock City being 1977, despite popular belief. Barely anyone has heard of them until at least 1978, which was the year they started selling a decently prominent amount of copies and performed with AC/DC and Molly Hatchet, and then later right when they were about to lose momentum, DJ Neal Kay of the Bandwagon Soundhouse helped spread the word about them in the UK, earning the band a higher fanbase and encouraging them to continue. And even though the original vinyl label says 1977, that's not highly reliable because some CD/vinyl publishing years might be slightly false (like for example, Symphony X's The Divine Wings of Tragedy has the release year label 1996 even though its official release year is 1997). With that, I'd like the release year for Riot's Rock City to be changed to 1978.

And by the way, sure this album is mostly hard rock, but I think there's plenty of the heavy metal you would find in bands like Accept and the more popular Iron Maiden...
