What are your top 10 80's (rock/pop/metal) albums?

Another really hard topic to post, but I'll post a variety of some of my personal greats/faves...


1. "...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." (Metallica - 1988)

2. "BAD." (Michael Jackson - 1987)

3. "DIARY OF A MADMAN." (Ozzy Osbourne - 1981)

4. "DONE WITH MIRRORS." - (Aerosmith - 1985)

5. "FAIR WARNING." (Van Halen - 1981)

6. "5150." (Van Halen - 1986)

7. "HOLD YOUR FIRE." (Rush - 1987)

8. "MOVING PICTURES." (Rush - 1981)

9. "POINT OF ENTRY." (Judas Priest - 1981)

10. "SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE." (Judas Priest - 1982)


Pretty much all Metal & Hard Rock. The '80s put out some of the best Heavy music ever. Much of today's "Heavy" bands don't even come close. I keep on listening & searching though.

 

[Ragged Glory]

No particular order:

Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Dio - Holy Diver
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Ratt- Invasion of Your Privacy
Ratt- Dancing Under Cover
Van Halen - Fair Warning

I gotta agree that Ratt & Motley Crue were great as well, especially Ratt. Such attitude set to full on, loud Hard Rock.***:
