Geoff Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Motley Crue is '81, isn't it? Same as '82 - I'd only like the Motley album and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 My shortlist for 1981 - some absolute KILLER albums featured during this year in music. A massive year for me - back then was a time when releases werent so aboundant so you actually got to spend time with an album and truly come to love it. I reckon it will be a toss up between classic AOR - Journey Escape - and classic hard rock - Triumph - Allied Forces. Both brilliant albums imo............ AC/DC For Those About to Rock We Salute You Black Sabbath – Mob Rules Def Leppard High 'n Dry Dokken – Breakin The Chains Foreigner 4 Iron Maiden - Killers Journey Escape The Michael Schenker Group The Michael Schenker Group (U.K.) Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman Rainbow Difficult to Cure Saxon Denim and Leather Shooting Star Hang On for Your Life Slade Till Deaf Do Us Part Jim Steinman Bad for Good Survivor Premonition Styx – Paradise Theater Thin Lizzy Renegade Toto Turn Back Triumph Allied Forces Van Halen Fair Warning Whitesnake Come An' Get It Y and T Earthshaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 From 1978-1986 is so difficult to narrow down to just a handful of releases each year, as it is completely my defining era of music and so many classic albums were released. I've cobbled together some sort of order and these years albums have pretty much remained my faves for the last 30 odd years Here goes for 1981...awesome year Saga - Worlds Apart Journey - Escape Wrabit - Wrough And Wready Loverboy - Get Lucky Blackfoot - Marauder Whitesnake - Come An' Get It New England - Walking Wild Ian Thomas - The Runner Doc Holliday - ...Rides Again Foreigner - 4 Styx - Paradise Theater UFO - The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent Y&T - Earthshaker Toto - Turn Back Toronto - Head On Blue Oyster Cult - Fire Of Unknown Origin The Tubes - The Completion Backward Principle Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard Of Ozz Balance - S/T Rush - Moving Pictures Maxus - S/T Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast Fist - Thunder In Rock Tygers Of Pan Tang - Spellbound Krokus - Hardware Trust - Marche Ou Creve (Savage) Rainbow - Difficult To Cure Quarterflash - S/T Survivor - Premonition Def Leppard - High 'n Dry Billy Squier - Don't Say No Girlschool - Hit And Run April Wine - Nature Of The Beast MPG - S/T Grand Prix - S/T Riot - Fire Down Under Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies Saxon - Denim And Leather Clientelle - Destination Unknown Mother's Finest - Iron Age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted February 27, 2015 My Little Pony Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Was Wrabit ever released on CD? All their albums are available at my local bookstore, but I thought I might try to track them down on disc. If that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All their albums are available at my local bookstore, but I thought I might try to track them down on disc. If that's possible. Yep...All 3 as Jap imports...pretty costly now. 'Tracks' was released on the dodgy Renaissance label a while back and that is fairly easy to get, which I advise yuo to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I might even have Tracks already, but just haven't listened to it. I need a pre-amp for my turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
