Same for me. Back in Black. Edited February 9, 2022 by auslander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auslander Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 One thing I have loved about posting these pictures, is even though they are tiny thumbnails and you can't read the text on most of the albums, the people on this forum never ask "what is such and such album". We know them all, and I am betting nearly all of us own at least 50% of those pictured from each year. It's freakin awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can't say that I really like any of these, to be completely honest, but if I had to pick my favourite of the lot it'd be Loverboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for these Auslander. I'm gonna distill it down even further, have a think about it, quote my choices over the decades and post my favourite track from each album and (if you could be bothered) I invite everyone else to do the same. A much harder choice for some of them. Not this one however. The title track "Heaven and Hell".

Yes, there's the odd spat every now and then, but it's threads like these that remind us of how much we all have in common and why we all ended up here. Thanks again mate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Turn me loose,' I say sheepishly. But as noted above, I like the company of promiscuous men a lot more than I liked the music from 1980. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 1980 was such an amazing year - those tiles are chock full of bona fide classics imo. I'll tentatively say Back in Black, but I equally love the saxon. Sabbath, reo, motorhead & ozzy. All brilliant for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 This year I was young and really not into hard rock yet. So I missed a lot of these that never really made it over here. For me, easily Maiden, followed by ACDC Never a big ACDC fan, but for me this is their best album and it wasn't long after this that they got too samey for me to be interested. Obviously Bon stuff is also great. Could never really get into Def Lep OTTN. I tried, but pretty sure I didn't get one keeper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daysbetween Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have 19 of these - only missing JJ. Maiden debut is in my top 20 of all time so that's my choice. Just bought the remastered Loverboy recently which I never owned back in the day. Wish I'd heard it in 1980. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Saxon - Wheels Of Steel...THE best metal album ever recorded... Such a brilliant year and such brilliant albums to choose from, many not included above. Of theses Sabbath, Girl, Judas Priest, Ozzy, ...all classics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 How can we not vote for AC/DC - Back in Black?! Beyond iconic. Some personal favorites though: Sabbath's, Heaven and Hell and the Scorps, Animal Magnetism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
