Dio

DL, Ozzy, Maiden & Night Ranger would make out the top 5 from that list 

Marillion - Script For a Jesters Tear & Journey - Frontiers would be my top 2 from that year though. Dio no3.

[auslander]

ZZTop for me. Love that album.

[lettard]

Great releases...but a no brainer for me...Def Leppard 

[Geoff]

Def Leppard pretty comfortably for me. 

Motley Crue, KISS and Night Ranger rounding out the top four. 

[CureTheSane]

Twisted Sister.
Closely followed by Maiden, then QR and Motley

[heavyharmonies]

Yeah, Pyromania is the definitive Def Lep album for me, although the underrated gem of all of those shown is Zebra IMO. That one is way up there for me.

[tts42572]

Pyromania is a no brainer for me also.

[nyoilers]

Def Leppard

[All Nights Reserved]

Mercyful Fate

I also love that Zebra album. They were an underrated band that's for sure.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Just so you know, these threads exist.

OZZY and Def Leppard, but a real sleeper for me is AC/DC's, "Flick of the Switch."

Metallica - Kill 'em All closely followed by Accept - Balls to the Wall

Kill 'em All is the only Metallica album I like and although Accept are by  far my preferred band of the two  I thought BttW was a bit of a backwards step at the time.

 

I remember when I used to go to my regular rock club in the centre of Manchester there was only me and this other guy who used to get up to Metallica. I think his name was Nigel and he was a school teacher, he was a really nice guy he wore glasses and used tape to hold them on while headbanging.  I even bought the t-shirt from the flyer that came inside the album.

Slippery When Wet was my first taste, but it wasn't until I heard Quiet Riot's Metal Health many years later that I got really hooked into the genre and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart!
