Here are my favourites:

Pretty Maids - Future World
Zodiac Mindwarp - Tatooed Beat Messiah
Magnum - Wings Of Heaven
Warlock - Triumph and Agony
Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime



------------------

I have to narrow my list down I'll be back!!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Okay. What could be my favorite? Let's see.

1. Metallica - ...and Justice for All
2. King Diamond - The Eye
3. Anthrax - Among the Living
4. Death - Spiritual Healing
5. Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

Yup. That's what I liked best.. These albums come out on top because they each had an entire album full of songs I liked. I like just about the whole thing. Most records I buy have only a few songs each that I like.

------------------
Sal Collaziano

My list.....

5. Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
4. Warrant - DRFSR
3. Skid Row - Slave To The Grind
2. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance

and the #1 (and in my opinion greatest album EVER)

1. Iron Maiden - The Number of The Beast
http://www.jdpro.com/livesay


------------------

O.K., I can't let this go by without my two cents worth.....

#5....Racer X - Second Heat

#4....Blue Murder - Blue Murder

#3....Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime

#2....Winger - Winger (also goes by the unofficial title Sahara)

And #1....

Crimson Glory - Trancendance


------------------

Atello! My buddy! I am glad somebody else besides me admits to liking WINGER. That first album was so tight musically, and so underrated. I really wish we never had MTV where that band is concerned, because we would never have had all the Kip Winger bashing!
Plus, I am you are one of a handfull of guys I know that has heard the entire BLUE MURDER cd, most people know Jelly ROll, and nothing else, and thus, dont rate them as high on musicianship as they should.

My favorite 5 metal CDS of the 80s are as follows:

5. W.A.S.P. The Last Command (always loved blackies voice!)

4. Living Color VIVID (not all "heavy metal" but a great CD and another GREAT musicianship CD)

3. Motley Crue SHOUT AT THE DEVIL (a personal turning point in music for my life)

2. Metallica RIDE THE LIGHTNING (Fade To Black has so much emotional importance to my life)

1. Queensryche OPERATION: MINDCRIME (top to bottom, great songs, music, it is the TOTAL PACKAGE!)


Well, funny how my all time favorite band is KISS, yet they are not in my top 15 CDS that I "MUST HAVE" with me.

DOH, Scratch WASP and replace it with WHITESNAKE (self titled). HOW could I forget that one? Everybody I knew had that tape or CD.

Sorry

~~~ 80's ROCK STARS ~~~ (http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/rap/1087/index.html)

In no particular order.....

Dio- Holy Diver
Anthrax- Spreading the Disease
Megadeth- Peace Sells...
Warlock- Triumph and Agony

It's very hard to narrow it down to just five because there are so many freakin' awesome metal albums that were released in the 80's http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

I don't think I could pick just 5. I loved so many bands.....

Love to all!

------------------

Jasper & AtelloBassist...I used to like WINGER too...until I went to see them with Cinderella & the Bullet Boys. I was in the second row, and while Kip pranced around onstage with his hands in his hair, I heard BASS LINES BEING PLAYED! They actually either had another bassist backstage so Kip could dance, or a REALLY well synched tape. From that day forward Kip officially was on my s@#t list...poser king. I know AtelloBassist can sympathize with that! Sad thing is, Kip is a talented bassist. After one song, he came to the front of the stage and I shouted "Hey Kip, where are ya hiding the other bass player?" The dirty look he shot me told me all I needed to know.

------------------

please forgive me but how the hell did i forget operation mindcrime that s like tied for number 1 .. best cd lyrically and musically by far .. glad to some cool responeses .. i agree with that winger cd it was good .. hungry rocks ..

------------------

Wow, Pagan. That's wacky about Kip! hah! hehehe wow.

Well, this is one great CD collection we're talking about here. I like almost everything mentioned!

------------------
Sal Collaziano

My top five(in no particular order):
1. Tesla "The Great Radio Controversy"
2. Giant "Last Of The Runaways"
3. Metallica "Kill Em All"
4. King's X "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska"
5. AC/DC "Back In Black"
Has anybody ever seen a copy of an album by Vendetta from 1982 on CBS Records? It included a song called "Babylon Rocks," which, in my opinion, is the tackiest video of all time(yes, even worse than a Grim Reaper video!). If so, please tell me who is selling it!

------------------

Up! Kill 'em All! Remember that album? The Four Horseman, Seek and Destroy.. Back in the days when Dave Mustaine wrote half the songs... They were the best in their time...

------------------
Sal Collaziano

Hey, Jasper, I know what you mean about Kiss...They are the first metal band I ever got really into, and I still wouldn't put them in my top 5 either......It was hard figuring out just the top 5....my other 5 (10 to 6, in no particular order) would have to be Dokken's Tooth And Nail, Ace Frehley's Frehley's Commet, Yngwie Malmsteen's Odessey, Livesay's Darkest Hour, and Atello's The Big Payoff!
I know what you mean about Blue Murder...I've been into them since day one (I went through two copies of the first tape before I got the CD), and I have the second CD, the live CD, and three of John Sykes' CD's...I always wonder what musical magic John and David Coverdale could have further created if they hadn't split ways....
And I also am not all that surprissed what Pagan said about Kip....Before I got really into Winger, and realized how GOOD they really are, I also never thought Kip was what he seemed. I always thought he was faking it (Poser!) But regardless, I have come to understand how good he and Reb, Paul and Rod wrote some awesome music! I have Kip's last two CD's, and I have heard some of the new one, and it's incredible....I hope the whole CD is as good as the clips I've heard.

Just sitting here "Looking For Tomorrow",
