Favorite King Diamond or Mercyful Fate album?

I have to admit King Diamond's Conspiracy album cover is awesome. King's makeup is wicked and probably the coolest looking.
I read in a magazine that gene simmons sued king over the make up being to similar to his.

King Diamond vs Gene Simmons

I voted In The Shadows.

I mean I probably should have went Melissa/Abigail for obvious reasons, but I feel In The Shadows is a tremendous album. The solos are incredible, Return Of The Vampire with Lars on drums, Bells Witch--really all the songs rip, Kings vocals are brilliant as usual and it just seems this album falls through the cracks.

It should not be overlooked--great album!

Them, Conspiracy and The Eye are all perfect records, as are Don't Break The Oath and In The Shadows.  The title track of Voodoo, with guest lead by Dimebag Darrell is killer, but I'm not too big on much other KD or MF stuff.

Why would you make me choose!?!

My favorite would have to be Don't Break the Oath.  Melissa, In the Shadows and Time are also amazing albums.

As far as King's solo work goes, I think Abagail is his best. 

[Midnight Syndicate]

It sounds crazy to some but if I have to pick just one album to listen to from start to finish, I'd have to go with "Time" - From start to finish, it's just solid songwriting (and the title track is one of my favorites).   Huge fan here, love all these albums (some more than others - but love them).

That's a tough one for me it was a toss up between Melissa and Don't Break The Oath.I picked Oath to me its the best representation of M.F. and it has Come To The Sabbath my favorite of their songs next to Black Funeral.
