Originally I did say the updated Judas Priest ranking would be next, it will be coming this June. Sorry I just needed a little bit more time with Invincible Shield 🤘 🛡️🤘
Accept is a band that I knew of, but I never checked them out until I found your channel. So glad I did. Accept and U.D.O. Have some really great albums.
Breaker, Restless, Balls & Metal Heart, are like Heavy Metal perfection. I remember playing those albums, repeatedly, along with Mercyful Fate's Melissa and DBTO, Raven's All for one, Riot "Fire down under," and Maiden & Priest. Wolf was the king of that mid tempo, chugging, riff (Turn me on, Losing more than you ever had, Flash rockin man, Balls, Run if you can, Up to the Limit, etc.) I love that rhythmic, stuttering pick slide he'd randomly do on "Ahead of the pack" and "Flash rockin man." I just loved everything about his riffs, songwriting & perfect soloing.
@@emaneric Nah.. I don't know if there is a difference from the US or something, I'm in Europe. But there is no Metal Heart album on there, just a poor playlist that tries to put it together but they are mostly live songs..
My ranking for the Accept albums would be🤘 17. Eat The Heat 1989 16. Accept 1979 15. I’m A Rebel 1980 14. The Rise Of Chaos 2017 13. Humanoid 2024 12. Too Mean To Die 2021 11. Stalingrad 2012 10. Blood Of The Nations 2010 9. Objection Overruled 1993 8. Death Row 1994 7. Predator 1996 6. Blind Rage 2014 5. Russian Roulette 1986 4. Breaker 1981 3. Metal Heart 1985 2. Restless And Wild 1982 1. Balls To The Wall 1984
Any of your top three, could be number one.Depends on the day. All fantastic albums. I watched your vid and revisited Eat the Heat. Back in the day, i immediately dismissed it, No Udo, Poofy hair and sappier songs. I was more into thrash by that time and a closed minded teen. 54 yr old me likes it. Some good songs on there and the singer has a helluva voice. Stampede is my favourite Tonello album . Theyre all pretty solid bit was underwhelmed by the latest release. Still, they are an awesome band. Thank you for your video.
I still remember when my older metal friends in Germany played the intro to Fast as a shark to me in 1984ish. I laughed at it first thinking they'd pulled a prank on me. But once the song started my jaw dropped. Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall are still my favorites. The rest of the 80s releases with Udo are very good too. Even Eat the Heat had some good songs and I think is somewhat underrated. Objection Overruled is good but the two ensuing albums were average at best. From the Mark Tornillo era, I like Blind Rage the best. Nice video once again. I would really enjoy a Grave Digger ranking, if you haven't done one yet.
Love the songs from Predator that had Peter Baltes on vocals. George Alexander aka Akexander Young originally gave I'm A Rebel to his brothers who did a demo but never released it. There are the AC/DC demo on TH-cam. Alexander Young sang on the recording with Bon Scott on backing vocals.
Fantastic ranking Darcy, I have been round the local vinyl fairs trying to find the earlier Accept albums and got the restless and wild album on vinyl and what an album it is. Do love blood of the nations and metal heart too. Don't know why I let Accept pass me by when I was younger and didn't collect their albums but your helping to change that..
Awesome effort Darcy. Another great ranking. My current Accept top 3 would be: 1- Balls to the wall. 2- Metal heart. 3- Blood of the nations. Can't wait for your other ranking videos. Have a great week 🤘!
Nice ranking 🤟 Man you should definitely check Blaze Bayley albums out they're great. Did you check out Trick Or Treat?? You can begin with Rabbits' Hill part 2. Stay rocking!!
Hallo my friend !! Again a very fine Accept ranking and nice Video ! 17. Eat the heat (No surprise in my ranking I guess 😉) 16. Death Row 15. I'm a Rebel 14. Stalingrad 13. Predator 12. The rise of Chaos 11. Objektion Overruled 10. Blind Rage 09. Russian Roulette 08. Debut Album 07. Too mean to die 06. Blood of the Nations 05. Humanoid 04. Metal Heart 03. Restless and Wild 02. Breaker 01. Balls to the Wall Cheers and have a nice day
Ha ha no I’m not surprised to see where you have Eat The Heat, just a little surprised to see Humanoid so high! Maybe with a little more time it will move up for me too. Thanks for sharing your ranking my friend 🤘 Stay Heavy as always :))
Just 3 words: Accept or die! Great list you made. Here is a tier I came up with regarding the albums I am familiar with: S Restless And Wild, Blood Of The Nations, Balls To The Wall A Metal Heart, Humanoid, Blind Rage, Objection Overruled, Too Mean To Die, Stalingrad B Russian Roulette, The Rise Of Chaos C n/a D n/a E n/a If they make vinyl re-issues of the first 3, then I will get them ✊
I hope you’re able to grab a copy of Breaker at some point, you need it lol. Let’s hope they reissue it soon. Thanks for sharing your list, the tier format is cool 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I agree with what you said about staying a life (live album). It is also one of mine favorite live albums. Accept in their prime on a tour supporting their best album metal heart.
It’s my most played live album in my entire collection! It’s Accept at the top of their game, pure Balls To The Wall metal! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Great ranking as always, Darcy. Looking forward to seeing Accept with KK’s Priest in September. You know what we need now…. Another Herman Frank solo album. 🤘
A new Herman Frank album is probably right around the corner, he’s always busy doing something. New Victory album Circle Of Life coming out September 13, first single Count On Me is great! Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Hi Darcy!!! i still remember the day i heard for the first time "Fast....." back in the day, since them love their music. I still have my OG "Eat the Heat" cassette with the alternative cover, it's a chilean pressing, not a fan of that album thou, lol...... Sawthem live for the fist time on the Stalingrad tour and they recorded that show here and added as a bonus disc on the deluxe edition of Blin Rage, awesome show!!! cheers and be well
Great list Darcy. 1. Restless and Wild 2. Balls to the Wall 3.Metal Heart 4. Breaker 5. Russian Revolution I've got the first 2 Accept albums which are a bit patchy, but you can see them finding their identity. The rest I don't really need. I would rather listen to Eat the Heat than any of the reunited Udo fronted albums or Mark Tornillo fronted albums.
You know I love your Top 5 ha ha, must have Accept! If you ever decide you need a little more I say Objection Overruled & Blood Of The Nations are worth your time. Eat The Heat is great, does not deserve the shit it gets! Thanks as always Jeff 🤘
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I agree that Blood of the Nations is definitely the best of the Mark Tornillo fronted albums & I've found all the albums after it pretty much sound the same & I don't find the songs are as good. I find the most recent 3 albums pretty uninspired & average. I think they set such a high mark with those 5 classic 80's era albums that it was impossible for them to better them. A great band that probably don't get the credit they deserve for how much they inspired 80's European speed/power/heavy metal. 🤘 from 🇦🇺
I'm live commenting while watching, so here goes... Huh...I've got to say...I don't hate Predator. If I knew someone who was looking to get into Accept and wanted them to steer clear of a particular album--and this is just my opinion, for what it's worth--I'd tell them to avoid Accept's first album, given that it just doesn't sound anything like Accept. ...and wow, Rise of Chaos second from the bottom! Interestingly, that's my second favorite of the Tornillo era after Blood of the Nations. 😅 Hell yeah! Those Uwe Lulis Grave Digger albums getting a shout out! Surprised to see some of these more recent albums so low. For me, their first two albums rank dead last (except I'm a Rebel...so catchy!), followed by their mid-90s output, then...things get messy because the quality is so flippin' high. I actually think their most recent effort is probably the weakest of the Tornillo albums, even though I'm still enjoying the heck out of it. ...and yep, there's Eat the Heat, which I rank about where you do. I have a soft spot for glam and EtH is a prime example of quality hard rock/glam metal. Wow, you ranked I'm a Rebel waaay up there. I was a bit late to the party on that one and didn't buy it until after Blood of the Nations came out, which may explain why I'm not as high on it as you. "Five albums I could not live without." You said it, dude. My top five are... 5) Russian Roulette 4) Balls to the Wall 3) Breaker 2) Metal Heart ("Commercial" be damned, this album rules!) 1) Restless and Wild Great video as always!
1. Metal health 2. Restless and Wild 3. Balls to the walls 4. Humanoid 5. Blood of the nations 6. Objection overruled 7. Eat the heat (if mark tornillo will sing for this songs, it will be cool) 8. Russian roulette 9. Breaker 10. Too mean to die 11. Death row 12. Stalingrad 13. Blind rage 14. The rise of Chaos 15. I'm a rebel 16. Accept 17. Predator
Great ranking Darcy, love listening to you talk about your favourite bands! Are you a fan of Dream Theater? Would love to see your ranking of the DT albums
Thanks very much! I’ll be honest with you I’ve only scrached the surface with Dream Theater. Let me you’re Top 3 & I’ll listen to them this week. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 my top 3 would be 1. Metropolis Pt 2 Scenes from a Memory 2. Images and Words 3. Train of Thought - Metropolis was my intro to the band and is an amazing concept album, Images and Words was their breakthrough and Train of Thought is their heaviest album. I only scratched the surface with them for years as well. Recently I’ve been on a huge DT binge and have been blown away by what I’ve been missing out on for years. Love the channel!
Hi Darcy. My Ranking: 1- Blood Of The Nations 2- Restless And Wild 3- Balls To The Wall 4- Metal Heart 5- Blind Rage 6- Breaker 7- Objection Overruled 8- Russian Roulette 9- Stalingrad 10- Humanoid 11- The Rise Of Chaos 12- Too Mean To Die 13- I'm A Rebel 14- Accept 15- Death Row 16- Predator 17- Eat The Heat
Your favorite one is also my fave Darcy. Cool video. Lot of info. I like PREDATOR a lot now but not so much when it came out. I agree with OBJECTION OVERRULED is super, great comeback, yessss
Thanks very much John that means a lot to me! Plus, let’s face it I can’t survive without my metal and people to share it with 🤘 Cheers from Planet6Strings
As always, great ranking. Accept never really released a bad album in my opinion. 1. Restless and Wild 2. Breaker 3. Balls to the Wall 4. Metal Heart 5. Russian Roulette 6. Objection Overruled 7. Blood of the Nations 8. Stalingrad: Brothers in Death 9. Blind Rage 10. Humanoid 11. The Rise of Chaos 12. Too Mean to Die 13. I'm a Rebel 14. Accept 15. Death Row 16. Predator 17. Eat the Heat
I really like where you placed Objection Overruled. It’s an overlooked gem in their catalog & definitely the best of the reunion! Always nice to see a comment pop-up from you 🤘 Cheers my friend
Great ranking Darcy. I've been asked to do an Accept album ranking a couple of times but I'm missing quite a few of their albums. Enjoyed your take on their discography.Cheers mate
I’ve been on a new release streak since 1985, just one of those bands I don’t miss an album from! Thanks & good luck filling the holes in your Accept collection 🤘 Cheers James
Very thoughtfully put together....such a a great Ranking, and so many memories coming back. When I got into Metal as a Teenager, the Band had split up shortly before, must have been 1989, and I hated it! Accept is one of those Bands that I cannot go without... and I already got Tickets to See them in November 🤘best whishes!🤘
Great video Darcy, one of my all-time favorite bands, can't wait to see them in September!! I doubt I could make an accurate ranking without some major work lol I do know Humanoid would be a lot higher for me. Keep up the great work my friend!!
I sure wish I lived closer to you, I’d be standing right beside you at that concert! Yes standing, you’re at Metal shown get off your ass 😂 Cheers brother
My ranking: 1. Metal Heart 2. Blind Rage 3. Balls to the Wall 4. Restless & Wild 5. Breaker 6. Objection Overruled 7. Stalingrad 8. Blood of the Nations 9. Too Mean to Die 10. Death Row Nice video! I’m not familiar enough with the first two albums, Russian Roulette, Eat the Heat, Pretador, The Rise of Chaos nor the new album to include them in my ranking. It’s random that it’s exactly these albums that I still haven’t heard (most of), but now I’m saving them a bit so I can have something I don’t know well from back in the day to listen to for the first time in the future. But if the singles are anything to go by, Humanoid unfortunately seems like the weakest of the Tornillo era to me. I did buy the album through Sweden Rock Magazine with photo of the guitars from the Restless & Wild cover signed by Wolf Hoffmann attached, which was cool. The single I like the most is Frankenstein, but the lyrics are silly. A bit like Midnight Stranger about Superman off U.D.O.’s Game Over - the music rocks, but come on … Also honestly despise the AI music video … I know Frankenstein is also the only song Uwe Luilis contributed music to on the final album, so maybe he can help out more in the future. The first Accept album I bought was also Metal Heart, a used CD at a local flea market maybe 6-7 years ago, but I think Metal Heart would’ve gotten first place even without sentimental reasons. Cool to hear that your number one Accept album is also your number one in heavy metal. I don’t think I can say the same, since I think each album has its highs and not quite as highs. But Accept is probably my favourite heavy metal band. I would also like to see Joel Hoekstra as a permanent member. He is probably my favourite guitarist of ones I’ve really found in the last couple of years - with Joel Hoekstra’s 13, Iconic, and, admittedly to a much lesser degree, Revolution Saints. I do at least hope he can join the European tour as well, so I can see him live with the band in November. I’m also going to see Dirkschneider play Balls to the Wall in its entirety a year from now, which will be cool. First time seeing Udo & co. under the Dirkschneider banner! Will you see U.D.O. on the American tour? It would be a huge undertaking, but it would be very cool to see someone tackle the entire Accept universe discography in one ranking. One could set the bar that a (former) member of either Accept or U.D.O. must be involved (so f.ex. Jorn’s Over the Horizon Radar could be included through Francesco Jovino), two former or current members of Accept must been involved (so including Iron Allies, but not Victory), or that session work doesn’t count (f.ex. for Peter Baltes: Don Dokken album would be included, Paul Shortino album would not) or some other limitation. Also, just a heads up, Deaffy and Wolf Hoffmann are not married anymore. Ava-Rebekah Rehman, the violinist from the Symphonic Terror tour and three German concerts last year, is Wolf’s girlfriend. Deaffy also retired from managing the band some years ago, so I don’t know if we’ll see more contributions from her, unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing your Top 10 & and thank you very much for the awesome comment! I totally appreciate the time it took you to type all that, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Thanks as always 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Haha, yeah, probably the longest comment I've written on TH-cam --- but I don't get the chance much to talk about this stuff - so thanks for your channel!

The original presses are on eBay and none of them are expensive you know. The slow ballad ones are usually my favourite songs. Can't Stand the Night is probably my favourite song that they do.
You’re right I need to check out eBay, I know you’ve told me that before but I’m just not a good listener! I’m glad you are enjoying the ‘79 to ‘89 period … took you long enough 😂
Cool Accept shirt. Where do you buy your shirts from? Do you buy them off a Canadian site? A lot of websites have good merchandise but they’re all in American funds and by the time you do the exchange rate and shipping it’s brutal what you end up paying, plus potential duty taxes.
You can’t go wrong with those as you’re Top 3, all are must have metal in my books! Thanks for the kind words & thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Stay Fast As A Shark ~ Darcy
Nice list Having never listened to the 3 reunion albums until recently I actually enjoyed them. Muted guitars and more bass and drum driven. It’s probably blasphemy to some but Accept and I’m a Rebel are my two least favorite Accept records. Metal Heart and Too Mean to Die are my favorites. Blood of Nations, Stalingrad, Breaker, Balls to the Wall, Restless and Wild, Blind Rage, are great And I dig Predator and Death Row. Primitive is a sick song and that’s an unpopular opinion I’m sure.
I used to skip over Accept & I’m A Rebel all the time, but they grew on me over the years, especially I’m A Rebel. Thanks for the great comment & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Thanks for the hard work compiling this list. Is it more difficult when there’s two long term singers involved and comparisons are inevitable? My friends and I tried to rank Sabbath once and it nearly ended in a brawl 😂

Love your Top 4 🤘 I totally understand why you have Blood Of The Nations that high. Still my favourite of the new era.
Your favorite one is also my fave Darcy. Cool video. Lot of info. I like PREDATOR a lot now but not so much when it came out. I agree with OBJECTION OVERRULED is super, great comeback, yessss
Great job with the ranking Darcy! Accept is an awesome band. Appreciate all the work you do for the metal community🤘👍
Thanks very much John that means a lot to me! Plus, let’s face it I can’t survive without my metal and people to share it with 🤘 Cheers from Planet6Strings
A well put-together Accept ranking, Darcy! I don't know how you managed to do it without constantly changing things around.
How do you think my hair turned grey Tony 😂
As always, great ranking. Accept never really released a bad album in my opinion.
1. Restless and Wild
2. Breaker
3. Balls to the Wall
4. Metal Heart
5. Russian Roulette
6. Objection Overruled
7. Blood of the Nations
8. Stalingrad: Brothers in Death
9. Blind Rage
10. Humanoid
11. The Rise of Chaos
12. Too Mean to Die
13. I'm a Rebel
14. Accept
15. Death Row
16. Predator
17. Eat the Heat
I really like where you placed Objection Overruled. It’s an overlooked gem in their catalog & definitely the best of the reunion! Always nice to see a comment pop-up from you 🤘 Cheers my friend
Nice video as always.
Not a big accept fan but i like their last album.
I dive in their history and this will help me a lot.
Thanks again!
Thanks very much Marco 🤘 I’m glad this helps you out, ranking videos always help me if I don’t know the bands discography very good.
Great ranking Darcy. I've been asked to do an Accept album ranking a couple of times but I'm missing quite a few of their albums. Enjoyed your take on their discography.Cheers mate
I’ve been on a new release streak since 1985, just one of those bands I don’t miss an album from! Thanks & good luck filling the holes in your Accept collection 🤘 Cheers James
Very thoughtfully put together....such a a great Ranking, and so many memories coming back. When I got into Metal as a Teenager, the Band had split up shortly before, must have been 1989, and I hated it! Accept is one of those Bands that I cannot go without... and I already got Tickets to See them in November 🤘best whishes!🤘
I hope they add a few more Canadian dates, I’d love to go! Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Great video Darcy, one of my all-time favorite bands, can't wait to see them in September!! I doubt I could make an accurate ranking without some major work lol I do know Humanoid would be a lot higher for me. Keep up the great work my friend!!
I sure wish I lived closer to you, I’d be standing right beside you at that concert! Yes standing, you’re at Metal shown get off your ass 😂 Cheers brother
It’s not really that far, not close but I have a ticket with your name on it 🤘
My ranking:
1. Metal Heart
2. Blind Rage
3. Balls to the Wall
4. Restless & Wild
5. Breaker
6. Objection Overruled
7. Stalingrad
8. Blood of the Nations
9. Too Mean to Die
10. Death Row
Nice video! I’m not familiar enough with the first two albums, Russian Roulette, Eat the Heat, Pretador, The Rise of Chaos nor the new album to include them in my ranking. It’s random that it’s exactly these albums that I still haven’t heard (most of), but now I’m saving them a bit so I can have something I don’t know well from back in the day to listen to for the first time in the future. But if the singles are anything to go by, Humanoid unfortunately seems like the weakest of the Tornillo era to me. I did buy the album through Sweden Rock Magazine with photo of the guitars from the Restless & Wild cover signed by Wolf Hoffmann attached, which was cool. The single I like the most is Frankenstein, but the lyrics are silly. A bit like Midnight Stranger about Superman off U.D.O.’s Game Over - the music rocks, but come on … Also honestly despise the AI music video … I know Frankenstein is also the only song Uwe Luilis contributed music to on the final album, so maybe he can help out more in the future.
The first Accept album I bought was also Metal Heart, a used CD at a local flea market maybe 6-7 years ago, but I think Metal Heart would’ve gotten first place even without sentimental reasons. Cool to hear that your number one Accept album is also your number one in heavy metal. I don’t think I can say the same, since I think each album has its highs and not quite as highs. But Accept is probably my favourite heavy metal band.
I would also like to see Joel Hoekstra as a permanent member. He is probably my favourite guitarist of ones I’ve really found in the last couple of years - with Joel Hoekstra’s 13, Iconic, and, admittedly to a much lesser degree, Revolution Saints. I do at least hope he can join the European tour as well, so I can see him live with the band in November. I’m also going to see Dirkschneider play Balls to the Wall in its entirety a year from now, which will be cool. First time seeing Udo & co. under the Dirkschneider banner! Will you see U.D.O. on the American tour?
It would be a huge undertaking, but it would be very cool to see someone tackle the entire Accept universe discography in one ranking. One could set the bar that a (former) member of either Accept or U.D.O. must be involved (so f.ex. Jorn’s Over the Horizon Radar could be included through Francesco Jovino), two former or current members of Accept must been involved (so including Iron Allies, but not Victory), or that session work doesn’t count (f.ex. for Peter Baltes: Don Dokken album would be included, Paul Shortino album would not) or some other limitation.
Also, just a heads up, Deaffy and Wolf Hoffmann are not married anymore. Ava-Rebekah Rehman, the violinist from the Symphonic Terror tour and three German concerts last year, is Wolf’s girlfriend. Deaffy also retired from managing the band some years ago, so I don’t know if we’ll see more contributions from her, unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing your Top 10 & and thank you very much for the awesome comment! I totally appreciate the time it took you to type all that, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Thanks as always 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Haha, yeah, probably the longest comment I've written on TH-cam --- but I don't get the chance much to talk about this stuff - so thanks for your channel!
Keep the comments coming! I try my best to respond to as many as I can, but I guarantee you I read every one of them :))

12 Blind Rage
13 The Rise Of Chaos
14 I'm A Rebel

The original presses are on eBay and none of them are expensive you know. The slow ballad ones are usually my favourite songs. Can't Stand the Night is probably my favourite song that they do.
You’re right I need to check out eBay, I know you’ve told me that before but I’m just not a good listener! I’m glad you are enjoying the ‘79 to ‘89 period … took you long enough 😂
Cool Accept shirt. Where do you buy your shirts from? Do you buy them off a Canadian site? A lot of websites have good merchandise but they’re all in American funds and by the time you do the exchange rate and shipping it’s brutal what you end up paying, plus potential duty taxes.
I ordered that one directly from Napalm Records, I don’t do that very often but I really wanted that shirt! The shipping is a real kick to the nuts 😩
great video Darcy! My top three are: 1. Breaker, 2. R&W, 3. R.R.
You can’t go wrong with those as you’re Top 3, all are must have metal in my books! Thanks for the kind words & thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Stay Fast As A Shark ~ Darcy
I'll just go back and copy-n-paste my list from your last video, as I don't think I've added any Accept since then. 😬
I remember you having Blood Of The Nations at the top for the Tornillo era, great choice there!
Sweeeeeeet. Next, I hope Iced Earth.
This summer for sure, you have my word 🤘 Cheers Charles
excelente lista, definitivamente los 4 completamente de acuerdo
Gracias! Saludos de Canadá 🤘
Nice list
Having never listened to the 3 reunion albums until recently I actually enjoyed them. Muted guitars and more bass and drum driven.
It’s probably blasphemy to some but Accept and I’m a Rebel are my two least favorite Accept records. Metal Heart and Too Mean to Die are my favorites. Blood of Nations, Stalingrad, Breaker, Balls to the Wall, Restless and Wild, Blind Rage, are great
And I dig Predator and Death Row.
Primitive is a sick song and that’s an unpopular opinion I’m sure.
I used to skip over Accept & I’m A Rebel all the time, but they grew on me over the years, especially I’m A Rebel. Thanks for the great comment & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 cheers
Thanks for the hard work compiling this list. Is it more difficult when there’s two long term singers involved and comparisons are inevitable? My friends and I tried to rank Sabbath once and it nearly ended in a brawl 😂
Top 6 , any of the Mark era ..... and smelly 11 bottom end put UDOs in a blender and make a firey flatulent bum ripping omelette 😆
I smelt this comment coming a mile away 😂 And next time don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel 🤣
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Couldn't help myself ... rock on bro 🤩
