82 I struggle with a top 6 3 or 4 absolute bangers but not a strong year for me. Restless and Wild would rank high for me though and was my guess for your glaring ommision.

Another cracking video, Mike. Anti-nowhere League and Misfits were a bit of a surprise. It probably won't be a surprise that I'd have picked NOTB for number 1 😂 and probably Iron Fist pretty high 😉

This is a very good series

I first saw Motorhead on the Bomber tour but knew of them since the 1977 "debut" (1976's "On Parole" was the real debut) album. Motorhead was my favourite band but I have NEVER been more disappointed by a newly released album than I was by Iron Fist. What a pile of 5hlt3 that album was & is. Even Fast Eddie thought so as he left the band shortly after the Iron Fist tour stating that he didn't like the direction the band was going in. All a matter of taste I suppose but Dear Lord what a climb down from the earlier albums Iron Fist was. I lost interest in Motorhead after that & never bought another single or album & never saw them live ever again.

I do like the song " Black Metal " by Venom. But they are not one of my favourite bands. I was also surprised by " Night Of The Demon " I thought it was gonna be way heavier than what it was. Still pretty good. " High In Dry " is awesome.🤘

Another good selection there mate I'm not the biggest kiss fan but creatures is an album I do like definitely their heavy metal record number of the beast was my introduction to maiden although it's not my fave by them it's still in the top 3 for me

Hi Mike!!! Cool list and you know what i always loved "invaders" it has a special meaning to me, it was the first song i heard from Maiden, my brother got back from school with a dub cassette copy of "TNOTB", pressed play and never looked back, lol. cheers

1 - Rush_Signals 2 - Judas Priest_Screaming for Vengeance 3 - Scorpions_Blackout 4 - Iron Maiden_The Number of the Beast 5 - Vandenberg_Vandenberg 6 - Kiss_Creatures Of The Night You've mentioned that about Judas Priest before. Have you heard their 70s albums? It isn't quite as heavy, but some of that stuff is borderline prog. Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin and Stained Class are 3 of their best albums.

Some excellent picks here Mike, especially Maiden and Priest. Was surprised to not see Signals by Rush here. Great video as always mate

Maiden for me, that's it.

We Are the League Great album. There from Tumbridge Wells

Some great stuff there Mike , great to see The league up there . The Misfits would be up there for me as well , I would have Dead Kennedys , Descendents and The exploited up in my top albums of 82 as well.

Delighted to see Demon make it in. I get what you mean with Killers (and the debut from the last video) but I've heard them that many times now I do recognise the songs and can name them - I have Drifter on loop in my head right now!

I think there are a few albums out there under the banner of nwobhm you'd like. I've always found it a strange genre tag, you know what you're getting with Thrash or Glam metal as it defines a particular sound, but nwobhm is just a bunch of bands from Britain at a certain point in time. Always good to hear you're take on these bands though, Maiden would be the only one of these in my top 6 I think.

Remaster is very good guys loll

Ι love it both!!

Good picks. I saw Priest live recently which reminded me how good a song I think "Electric Eye". I have to admit that I've always loved "Invaders', because it's so weird in a way.

1982 is a bit hard for me, almost none of the records strike me really hard. Maiden would be up there and even above that the Manowar debut. Yeah, I guess Manowar would be my No. 1. Back then I had a friend that had EVERYTHING by The Misfits, every single, every album and bootlegs. He would show them but you were not allowed to touch them, hahaha... He even would not make a cassette copy...

Nice surprised to see Priest make your list, I thought the Scorpions would of made it over it! Misfits & that other one I have no idea on, both a big part of your youth. I’ll work on my 1983 guesses 👊

When did all the advertising start to appear on this channel?

Loving this series 😊

Your number six is my number ten. Creatures Of The Night is the only 80's Kiss that I have. On CD not vinyl. Your number three and number one are a pleasant surprise. You need to check our Fear The Album and Angry Samoans Back From Samoa. I got into Metallica because they covered Misfits and Discharge.

Good stuff Mike , the NOTB is probably the pick of these for me but I do love the Misfits album too

Excellent choices!

Album emblématique de iron maiden❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great list of 1982 albums, Mike! Cool to see Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and The Misfits.

Très bon album de Judas Priest ❤❤❤❤❤❤

0:55 sound like a techno song lmao

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My life in the Bush of Ghosts The Gun Club - Fire of love Romeo Void - It's a condition Zounds - The curse of Zounds This Heat - Deceit Holger Czukay - On the way to the peak of normal

Hi Mike!!! i think i know what ypu mean with Maiden's second album, its a great album, but some songs can easily be forgotten by name, but the minute you start playing them you recognize it and that's odd too. Venom might be an acquiered taste for many heavy metal fans. cheers mate

We are, judging by your accent from more or less the same neck of the woods. Totally get what you are saying about Cronos and also Abaddon from Venom. Conrad Cronos was forever on the receiving end of jokers in Trillians bar n Newcastle where he’d play the rock star, and invariably get, as we say on Tyneside, chinned!

Another excellent video Enjoying these. Killers is my favourite Maiden album. I appreciate what you say about albums that you can’t really remember the individual songs. With Maiden on Piece of Mind and Somewhere in time. No idea how the longer songs go, away from the live staples. Venom are an odd ball band. For a band that was much more influential than the traction they gained. As I’m from the North East, Neat records was a big deal. Big enough for HMV to have a full window display for the release of Possessed in Newcastle. Venom were interviewed on local metal radio on a regular basis. But by ‘84 their bubble had burst. The gig at Newcastle City Hall was not even half full. I love the early albums. But not many people did. 81’s Welcome to hell is for me a classic. I don’t think anyone took their ‘satanism’ seriously. I don’t remember them ever claiming to be devil worshipers. It was all tongue in cheek. That clearly didn’t translate to audiences in the US. Let’s face it by 86 they were considered a bit, well naff in the UK. Metallica et al surpassed them with professionalism, song writing and increasing brutality. The into to Leppards, Hit n run is great. My favourite album by them. Diary of a madman is very good. An album from ‘81 worth checking out, is Y&Ts Earthshaker. A far cry from their pop rock later in the 80s.

I'm enjoying this style of video mate I actually find myself listening to killers more an more it's easily a top 5 maiden album for me these days demon is a recent discovery for me as well I definitely want the 1st two albums in the collection at some point looking forward to your picks for the rest of the decade

I found a copy of Breaker a couple of years ago I think it’s time to pull it out again for another spin 🤘slap a da bass 😂😂 I love that movie. I prefer modern Venom and Venom Inc over the earlier stuff but I do own an OG copy of Black Metal that gets a spin every now and then.

Great stuff Mike, I think Moving Pictures is the pic of these albums for me but all really good pics including the Demon album, which I don’t have 😃 I Love you Man was that Paul Rudd movie you’re thinking of “ Slappin The Bass” 😂fun movie

I don’t think Iron Maiden are very good song writers.

I had to think about that for several hours... Best Rock Album of 1981? Foreigner´s "4"! ...and I´m serious!

Hi Mickey! At the end of the day, it all depends on what you're listening to, and therefore on what you've discovered at one time or another and the impression it's left on you. One thing's for sure: you have to be free to listen to and enjoy what you want, without being laughed at by others. A childish attitude that has absolutely nothing to do with the rock 'n roll spirit. Also, we shouldn't always take everything so seriously, the world is serious enough as it is. Cheers dude! 😊🤘

All great picks, I had a feeling you’d have that at #1. Killers is one of those albums that I can play in my head at will. Early Venom is awesome, but I don’t need to own or listen to anything past the first four albums.

Killers is a great Maiden album. It was the first I bought by them (on cassette) and I played it to death, so when you said those song titles I can genuinely replay them in my head. I think a lot of people overlook it and aren’t as familiar with it as they should be. Its a ‘between’ album, between the debut with its impact and the impact of Number of the Beast, first with Dickinson.

That was a proper creative Short. I hope it generates a few subs! 🤘

Another interesting list, Mike. Odd seeing Killers so low but I must admit it's not an album I reach for very often. Accept, Rush and Hard of Hearing Cat are 3 bands that i can't get away with. A very valid point about Venom too 😂

Killers could be my favourite album of all time on a good day! Just a monster of an album. I had the original cassette and wore it out going to school the little time I did go haha. Great video mate 😉🤘🏻

Kind of reminding me of my series going thru the years, though I wasn't so much looking at the TOP releases as much as the top releases of the ones I currently owned on vinyl. Something more like this, drawing in even CDs would be cool too. Yo covered so many great bands. Can't wait to see a few years later when you start drooling and sharing your love for RATT - ha ha ha

'Night of the Demon' is really good IMO... in particular Side A (Side B is a bit weaker). "Son of a Bitch" is hilarious - love it :) Agreed on 'Moving Pictures' - fantastic album. Good picks and definitely all albums that I enjoy. Of course, the local extreme metal guy had to be an absolute knobhead. :D

1 - Ozzy Osbourne_Diary of a Madman 2 - Rush_Moving Pictures 3 - Judas Priest_Point of Entry 4 - Def Leppard_High 'n' Dry 5 - Blue Oyster Cult_Fire of Unknown Origin 6 - AC-DC_For Those About to Rock Venom never did anything for me either. I know everyone hates Point of Entry and For Those About to Rock for some reason, but those albums are actually the ones from those 2 bands that I listen to the most.

I always like a good series to get stuck into mate… so looking forward to it Mike! I’ve thought this before… but isn’t it mad that you’re not a fan of NWOTHM but ‘Iron Maiden’ are your favourite band! Good to see you as always mate!🤘🏻

I'm new to Judas Priest pretty much as well Mike. It just means my starting point might be a substandard Priest album but i can appreciate it for what it is. Getting into Rush sounds like hard work to me. I have listened to some of their flagship albums and I think I need to possibly revisit when i can find a physical copy. Cool new series you are starting, will tune in. By the way also have received my copy of " My Silent Wake " love it!.

Hey again Mickey, nice video and commentary again thank you. A lot of great albums in that bunch. Honestly I went away from thrash like many have for quite some time and only got back into it in the last few years so there's been a lot of discovery in the last while. Maybe why I don't spend much time with say the first 4 Metallica albums....yes I love them don't necessarily have to give them a regular spin either having heard them so much.....kind of ties into your last question in the video somewhat.....thanks again 🙂

Hi Mickey, I think most of us have been guilty of getting caught up in the excitement of buying multiple albums at the same time then giving it a spin and thinking mmm maybe I didn't need it that bad 🤷 I'm with you on Xentrix....I love Shattered existence, been told by several people For Whose Advantage is the go to Xentrix album.....listened to it and don't rate it as highly.....anyway I enjoyed your video, cheers 🤘
