1.
|
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
After 2 disappointments, Priest gets more aggressive, the songwriting flows better, and they release the greatest album of their career. |
 |
2.
|
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
Bruce Dickinson ditches Samson, and we get the first taste of Maiden's flowing melodies, soaring riffs, and Dickinson's air-raid vocals over the top. |
 |
3.
|
Venom - Black Metal
Venom ups the ante on what evil music is. This album is faster, nastier, and grimier than their debut. Oh, and the lyrics are hilarious. |
 |
4.
|
Accept - Restless And Wild
Accept continues to do what they do best, make aggressive songs. This time though, they're leaner, and more focused. |
 |
5.
|
Scorpions - Blackout
Heavy riffs (almost AC/DC sounding at times), powerful bass which accents the riffs well, and less annoying of vocals than they usually display. |
 |
6.
|
Manowar - Battle Hymns
Manowar's most down to earth record. Although they did find time for a 2 minute bass solo. |
 |
7.
|
Discharge - Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing
A hardcore punk classic. Fast, brutal, and to the point. |
 |
8.
|
Anvil - Metal On Metal
A very heavy release at this time. Good songwriting, very heavy guitar/bass sounds, very impressive. |
 |
9.
|
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty
A very early Sabbath sounding record. Good progression through the songs, heavy riffs, and good variety. |
 |
10.
|
Tank - Filth Hounds Of Hades
More great old school metal, in the vein of Saxon and Raven. |
 |
11.
|
Demon - The Unexpected Guest
A very catchy, and melodic album. Catchy songwriting, great drumming. |
 |
12.
|
Diamond Head - Borrowed Time
Another fantastic album. I docked them a few spots considering 2 of the 3 best songs had been released 2 years earlier (they're re-recorded, but nothing changed drastically). |
 |
13.
|
Riot - Restless Breed
A more varied release than 'Fire Down Under'. Solid album, stays interesting throughout. |
 |
14.
|
Van Halen - Diver Down
They continue to prove they are fantastic musicians, although all of the very non-metal songs get goofy and tedious at a point. |
 |
15.
|
Raven - Wiped Out
A very consistant release, with a fantastic acoustic interlude near the end. Fun album. |
 |
16.
|
Motörhead - Iron Fist
Another fast and aggressive album, although this time it gets a little old by the end. |
 |
17.
|
Virgin Steele - Virgin Steele One
Absolutely killer bass work, making the heavy gutiars really have a full sound. Great riffs, wicked solos, annoying vocals. |
 |
18.
|
Twisted Sister - Under The Blade
Very bluesy, impressive vocals by Dee Snider. A grimy, down to earth record. |
 |
19.
|
Tank - Power Of The Hunter
A less interesting version of Filth Hounds Of Hades. Has a lot of catchy tracks, but is quite repetitive. Still fun. |
 |
20.
|
Rainbow - Straight Between The Eyes
Rainbow continues to move away from the heavy stuff of the 70's, to a very radio sounding hard rock. Catchy, technically everything sounds good, just misses originality and attitude. |

| I think 1982 was the best year for Heavy Metal, most of the albums were killers!!! |
