a list of albums from 1980-1981 for the fun of it, pick a favorite and explain why (briefly or not  )other options for those unhappy with the choices  nevertheless, you can mention other albums, who knows, I may discover something new. I know I left some out but if this poll gets some votes and comments, I'll make a new one. |

Many of my favourite albums here - the late seventies and early eighties was about the time I was getting into heavy rock and metal big time. I've gone for Heaven & Hell, partly because I think it's a great album, but also because it was the release that rejuvinated the Sabbath brand. Ozzy had left, and Sabbath were dead - or not as it turned out. Still unmistakenly Sabbath, but avoids the pitfalls of trying to find an Osbourne sound-alike.

The choice was between Thin Lizzy and Motörhead for me. I chose Motörhead. Absolutely fantastic album featuring a badass rock´n´roll attitude and some great memorable songs too. I love Chinatown too though  ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Lots of awesome albums. Some missing (Saxon, Angelwitch and other NWOBHM) but it's difficult as it is. I'm torn between Sabbath, Ozzy, Diamond Head and AC/DC. I'll give it to Ozzy as I've air guitarred to that one more than then others! ------------- 42 |

So many good albums here, but I'll go with Heaven and Hell which was my first Sabbath album. British Steel is a close second though. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

I paused for some time, hoping to pick one from Maiden, Motorhead and Sabbath. ...but they are all as good as each other, for different reasons. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

| I was about to pick British Steel because that's just about the best Judas Priest album IMO but then I saw Rush on the list. |

I enjoyed more the albums between 1981 and 1983, but for this list I think the album I listened to the most was Iron Maiden's debut. I liked it when I bought it in 1983 and I still like it now. Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Scorpions and a few others had some great stuff on those albums, though. ------------- A story told that can't be real somehow must reflect the truth we feel. |
