Hey Bob 👋 You bet there is people that like 13 , just not one of my favourites ! I still love Black Sabbath , I have all their albums & then some lol , I hope to put together a ranking soon ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Yeah, I enjoyed "13" as well. Granted it doesn't hold a black candle to their first six albums but it IS better than their last two with the Ozzman. Plus you also have to consider the questionable conditions it was recorded under: Iommi's lymphoma, Geezer's arthritis, Bill Ward's leaving over health problems (which he tried to cover up as a falling out with Sharon)... and while I know this above post wasn't much of a Rick Rubin fan I do have to admit his production was the REAL star of the album!
@Mr.Brenman21 I love Never Say Die; Junior's Eyes I particularly love. I know Ozzy says he hates it but he was in a bad place at the time, and a lot of those comments about Never Say Die are from the 80s when he never wasted an opportunity to slag off Sabbath.
Nice video! I actually much prefer Demolition over Nostradamus. I’ve got plenty of clunkers in my collection. Operation Mindcrime II, Generation Swine, just to name a few.
Yeah more people REALLY need to check out some of Sabbath's stuff that's sort of been buried over the years. Albums like Eternal Idol and Tyr are some of their best stuff to be honest.
Hey Marcio 👋 I tried to stay away from a few real obvious ones & Forbidden is one of them , terrible album indeed ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
From what I have read/heard, Savatages Fight for the Rock was actually pressured by the Producers to put out a "Radio Friendly" album. The Band even admits it Sucks. Everything else from them is great.
Savatage said the only nice thing about Fight For The Rock was getting to live in London during the recording process which they really enjoyed being guys from suburban Florida and London being a city with a population of 9 million must have been so exciting. There were a lot of heavy metal clubs and the band enjoyed the bars/restaurants.
Darcy, fantastic topic and video. I totally agree with you on 13. You mentioned 2 albums i dig; Demolition(it has some fillers) and Pure Instinct. My honourable mentions: 1. Deep Purple-Rapture of the Deep 2. Helloween-Helloween 3.Nightwish-Endless Forms Most Beautiful 4. Bon Jovi- Lost Highway 5. Aerosmith- Rock in a Hard Place
Rock in A Hard Place is a great album! Everything after Pump is just awful, but I’d draw the line at Done With Mirrors as their last truly good album, before the sell out
@@markcolhan8901 Done with mirrors was originally supposed to be their comeback album but ended up being permanent vacation. Get A Grip was their last great album.
I actually really like Black Sabbath’s 13, In my opinion the first four songs are amazing and the rest is throw away. I think Judas Priest’s Juggulator is a fantastic album. Also, did you pick of the vinyl reissue of Megadeth’s Unplugged in Boston? I really love Dave’s guitar tone on it
Are you sure you’re not spying on my house ? 😂 Megadeth Unplugged In Boston just arrived today I shit you not , silver vinyl ! I’ll give it a listen tonight and let you know what I think ! Cheers Sam 🤘 Loud ‘n’ Proud
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I promise I’m not spying on your house 😂 I have just been listening to it lots and I was wondering what your opinion is, I thinks it’s fairly good, they even play a song from Risk! Sometime this week, I’m gonna have to order a copy for myself on vinyl! Cheers
I was all set to hate 13. Told everyone it was a pathetic transparent cash grab. And I ended up liking it, lol. Ouch. Enough people hated it for me, I can be the weirdo who likes it."BORN IN A GRAVEYARD..." sure, a little Mercyful Fate flavor lifting, but I really liked that one.
Great video! I didn’t listen to Demolition for years from what I heard from others but I loved Jugulator and went in with no expectations and Demolition is now one of my favourite Priest albums, I also think Black Sabbath’s 13 is quite good.
Yes funny enough it does sound a bit better on vinyl , I don’t even know how to explain it maybe it sounds a little less irritating lol , no joke that album actually puts me in a bad mood , there’s no way I could sit through that whole album in one shot ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care Andrew
Good video!!! I really enjoyed the Scorpions and Krokus albums, the savatage one to. I know those albums aren't for everyone, but hey to each their own
@6:26 - I always preferred JP's "Jugulator" which is sadly not available on any streaming service / legal digital distribution, over "Demolition". I think the only two songs I like off it are probably "Subterfuge" and "Lost and Found". Though, with that said, it's not a terrible album imo, but not very memorable whatsoever.. and somehow, unlike "Jugulator", it's actually available digitally / streaming, kinda stupid.
Great picks Darcy! I agree all the way. And what a great comment to sum up the VH album! ”They probably should have lowered this canon about ten inches”😂👍 Take care!🤘
Cool list. Our tastes in metal are actually quite different. I actually liked 13 by Sabbath. Of course, I wouldn't call it their absolute best but there are enough tracks on there that I think are quite satisfying for me to call it a good album: Loner, Beginning Of The End, God Is Dead, etc.
Hey, dude. I like "Van Halen III", "Demolition" and "13", good albums in my opinion. I have 500 albums and the only one I really dont like is Solefald - "Pills against the ageless ills", it really sucks. But I have read amazing critics in magazines... Those were the times without TH-cam.
Forbidden - Black Sabbath Chinese Democracy - Guns N Roses Savage Amusement - Scorpions Van Halen III - Van Halen DaDa - Alice Cooper Adrenalize - Def Leppard The Final Cut - Pink Floyd Kilory Was Here - Styx Raised On Radio - Journey Hot Space - Queen
I agree with everything EXCEPT Black Sabbath's "13". That album is slow and doomy for sure, but quite an interesting listen if you give it a chance. And I had totally forgotten how awful "Pure Instinct" by Scorpions was! I do remember my disappointment that it had WAY to many ballads and forgettable songs. And mirroring your story about St Anger, I too found a Metallica album in the trash once, but it was Re-Load, I took it home with me because I felt sorry for it.
"13" is a good album. Certainly better than "Never Say Die!" I really don't know why people rag on that album. Now, Ozzy's "Ordinary Man", that's a piece of sh*t! Iommi's riffs are as dark and doomy as always.
@@cybereus836 Yes. But I didn't buy the album because of him. Ozzy hasn't sounded good for years, only selling albums and concert tickets on past glories. No, my reasons are for Tony Iommi. His tone and sound are still rich, and he is very much the mastermind behind Black Sabbath. I would like to see him work with Tony Martin again some day, as the albums they made with Martin were great and underappreciated.
Cool list and a few surprises actually. Didn't expect to see 13. I don't mind that album lol. I agree on Savatage though, not great at all. I'm shocked you even had JP in there too, I know it's seen as awful, I've actually never heard it but I just thought they were too sacred to include lol. I've never actually heard the rest but I'd never go that deep into some of those bands, Great video.
There’s an idea for a new video , “show 10 album worse than St-Anger” , shit man I don’t know if that’s possible ! Hope everything is going good for you 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Nice to see you jump on this thread! Most of the albums you show here I´ve never heard a single song. I love Scorpions but I never heard "Pure Instinct", same with Savatage, never heard "Fight...". I somehow like "13", I don´t know what it is but yeah, I think it´s pretty OK. Judas Priest´s "Demolition" is another record I never gave a listen.
I think the issue was that they signed contracts that required the bands to put out a certain amount of albums in a short time. You can't rush inspiration and art.
Very true ! Those were the years when they were banging out an album every year & it didn’t always work out did it ! Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Excellent job! Nice little Motley Crue jab for Jailhouse Rock. 😅🤣🤣 Spot on. VHIII is horrifying. Def Leppard! Yawn! 13 is sooooooo ponderous. Rick Rubin destroyed Death Magnetic. That Sabbath album was pasted together. Add Technical Ecstasy in there. Dysfunctional is totally weird so I kinda dig it. Broke the mold. Lulu??? Makes St. Anger look masterful. Generation Swine? Anything from Queensryche after Tribe. 😝
Which was pretty much why Eddie was praising Gary so much at the time. I'm not happy that Eddie passed away, but I'm not going to present Eddie as this ideal person, like a lot of people have been doing.
I think The Angel And The Gambler is amazing along with the album. You simply need to approach it with an open mind and not to have any expectations. Also listening the album several times can help to like it. I've started to love many Maiden songs just by listening them over and over.
Always nice to hear from you, Darcy! To be honest, i don't think st anger was THAT bad. Actually i purchased it some time ago (finally). I found that cool store with music and bought me bunch of mc cassette tapes like tom petty and ugly kid Joe. The other day I fell for some Korn and Metallica albums. Good vibes! Take care!
I have been meaning to pick up Headhunter until now i just have a Krokus live album. Great reasons for your picks mate and glad you picked an album from 1 of your favourite bands. I had a great time doing my thread response too. Take care mate😃
😂 great thread great video! That’s an amazing st. Anger story 😂. Some of these I haven’t heard but I’m on board with the dokken . It’s a bad album in every way. Van Halen III is wicked also lol. Metallica’s Lulu comes to mind also.anyway cool fun video. Darcy stay well brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I've never felt it fair to call it "Metallica's Lulu" as it's not a Metallica album. It's a Lou Reed album that he wrote and asked Metallica to play backing music on. No where on the album cover doesn't it even call it a Metallica album. It's worse than calling Ghosts of Mars an Anthrax album because John Carpenter asked Anthrax to write the music for the movie.
Wow I own a lot more of these than I'd like to admit. I was just waiting for you to bring up 90s Dokken. Surprised no Megadeth Risk. But on a positive note I just got KKs Priest today and it's really killer!!
I like how you picked different stuff from other channels. Agreed, nut shot on Van Halen 3 lol. I still need to put my list together. There's a B-side or disc 2 track called Methademic from Black Sabbath's 13 that's worth checking out. I couldn't get into the rest of the album though either. I have a weak spot for Dokken's Dysfunctional because I saw that tour and still have a cool t-shirt.
Back in the day (the 80s) you could be forgiven for buying bad albums.... the cover art , band reputation or whatever drew you in. But in the modern world with access to nearly anything on the net you would have to be a bit of a fruit loop purchasing anything that you didnt like ... cool video Darcy , everyone's got there own opinion ... rock on.
Some (dis)honourable mentions: Motley Crue: Generation Swine, Def Leppard: Pretty much everything after "Pyromania", and Twisted Sister, Love is for Suckers. 🤢😴
Hey Darcy. I'd probably agree with a few of these. Especially that Def Leppard. I was thinking of picking tit up at the time but wasn't impressed, especially after their previous effort. They are still good live though. I don't mind the 13 album, not their best, but it is still on my list to pick up....still, so I'm not in a rush. Nice response 🤘🤘
I totally get why people don't like some of these, but I like the Savatage, Dokken and Scorpions albums you showed, and half of that Krokus album. But that Def Leppard album I checked out on them years and years ago! But it's all a matter of opinion.
Yeah, I agree on all you listed. I remember when I was a teen, I'd spend the night with my cousin and she had The Blitz. Played the shit outta Our Love. I still like that song plus a few others.
I thought Death Magnetic was a pretty good album. It's not as good as the classic albums of course, but it was the best thing they had done since the black album.
The only bad things I can even think of from that album is End of the Line and the mix. I wish also they kept the Beyond Magnetic tracks but it is what it is. An especially easy fix is listening to the tracks live, the E flat tuning helps the tunes a bunch and in the case of All Nightmare Long Drop C# tuning. Cyanide especially sounds better live than the studio version.
@@Lucyano_Franko yeah. I didnt like it. Every few years I put it on again and, nope, still dont like it. Wierd. The whole world loved it! Massive success. I thought And Justice For All was the best metal album ever, and all down hill from there.
My Thin Lizzy collection is thin (no pun intended lol) but the good news is I’m working on it ! What’s your Top 3 albums from them ? Thanks for watching , please stop by anytime 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yeeah! Thank you for your answer.... My Lizzy top 3 would be 1. " Bad Reputation" 2. " Vagabonds of The Western World" 3. " Thunder and Lightning" 🍻🍻🍻🍻
I’m a huge Dokken fan especially the first 4 albums with Tooth and Nail being my favorite. You hit the nail on the head with Dysfunctional that is god awful. The first time I heard it I was like what is this mess. I played it a few times figuring maybe it would be one of those albums that would grow on you but that ain’t happening . Just saw channel come down my TH-cam feed great channel man !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 No doubt those early to mid 80’s Dokken albums are some of my favorite all time albums . I’m 52 and I still love the music of that era Dokken,Ratt, Accept , Krokus, VH etc etc the list goes on.We were blessed with great music and great times in the 80’s . Same here thanks for the kind words and take care .
Last week you were talking about the Todd LaTorre album. I think I picked it up because of you or Scott Waters was talking about it. Anyway, it’s outstanding. I haven’t listened to Queensryche since Mindcrime. Dee Snider’s new album Leave a Scar is awesome as well. I haven’t listened to him since Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry. I believe I will have both albums in my top 20 at the end of the year.
I saw Queensryche with my two best friends in the summer of 1995. When their 1997 album came out I was so bummed out and haven’t listened to them since.
You criticize Savatage Fight For The Rock, yet you have the digipack which was reissued 30 years after they shit that turd. Why would you buy it if you knew it was awful in the first place?
A lot of my favourite bands I will still buy everything even if it’s “terrible “ , maybe that’s not even the right word for some of these , let’s just say these are some of the weaker albums from bands I love ! I bought the reissue because I was replacing my cassette from back in the day ! Thanks for watching Mark 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 ok, that’s fair. I’m also a completist. I consider “Hyde” to be one of their most powerful songs though the album is very rarely played at my house. I think this is one of the re-issues I never bothered with, along with Dungeons and Sirens. I did buy the first reissues of dungeons and Sirens though. I just decided I don’t play them enough to buy them for a 4th time
Black sabbaths 13 nearly made my list! Completely underwhelming. I can agree on Savatage too. I haven’t bothered to look passed the first four Dokken albums because you never hear good things about them. Great video mate!
I kinda like Judas Priest "Demolition". Savatage "Fight for the rock" may stray a bit from the edgy heavy metal of the beginnings, but it's still good hard rock. Scorpions "Pure instinct" was the big disappointment of my life, that's when they became a pure cheesy pop-rock band for housewives. I found Black Sabbath "13" uninspired.
I haven't heard a lot of these to be honest so will have to take your word for it until I do! The only bone of contention for me here is your choice of drop off album for Krokus, yes Change of Address is bad but The Blitz was a massive drop off for me, I fully expected CoA to be terrible after that howler!
I saw Krokus on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 , WASP opened , both bands were awesome ! So I might have a wee soft spot for The Blitz lol , I still say Change Of Address is not as good ! See we didn’t fall out 😂 Cheers my friend :))
You want a major drop off for Krokus? What about their sole album for MCA, Metal Heart? I had the cassette and not only can't remember any song...but the cassette seemed to be harshly mastered...way too bright and tinny sounding.
Hey George 👋 Are you taking about Heart Attack ? I wouldn’t argue your point about the production , definitely a little off , but the album does have some great tracks like Wild Love , Axx Attack & Winning Man !
Great video Darcy. I'm glad to finally hear someone say it about Extreme. I just don't get it. But what ever happened to Def Leppard? What a waste of talent. High N Dry is one of my favourite albums ever. God they have brought out some serious crap since
Thanks very much ! I’ll tell you what , after Steve Clark died Def Leppard where never the same & how could they be , the guy is irreplaceable ! I’m not hacking on Extreme but they are just too wimpy for me lol . Thanks for hanging out at Planet6Strings 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Have u ever heard Make Love Like A Man by Def Leppard? Lyrics go Make Love like a man, I'm a Man, that's what I am.... Did Joe Elliot write this when he was 10 years old? Embarrassing.. I was hoping Vivian Campbell would liven things up, but I have given up all hope on Leppard. Maybe we were just spoilt with all the great music that came out in the 80's!!
Really didn't think 13 was terrible. Other than that, I agree with everything, except maybe the Dokken album. There are a few great tracks on that one I really dig. You could have included any Def Leppard album after Pyromania on this list too.
80s heavy metal and thrash bands made so many disappointing, boring or downright bad releases throughout 90s. The only really great album that impressed me at the time was The X Factor by Iron Maiden and I still love it.
In my opinion the true maiden fans stayed with the band and didn't jump ship when Bruce left, I'm proud to say I'm one of these and I really like the X factor album.
Everyone was praising that Def Leppard album in 2015 as the best since Hysteria, lol. I personally think Songs From the Sparkle Lounge that came out before it, blows it out of the water.
I'm curious, did you not like the legacy of the dark lands because it wasn't a metal album and the story element, or do you really not like the Lord of the Rings-style thematics, because Lord of the Rings and fantasy is their bread and butter. One of their most popular albums is called nightfall in middle earth, which coincidentally also had interludes. The only thing I can say about the legacy of the dark lands is maybe they should have branded the album a bit better because, as you said, it's not supposed to be a power metal album or metal at all. They differentiate the album from their main body of work as the Blind Guardian Twilight Orchestra because the lead singer is the only member of the band to perform in it. I viewed it as a pretty natural spinoff for the band because they already did a lot of symphonic things in their work already. Was the deal-breaker just the lack of electric guitar?
I think in my mind I was expecting something else , yes more guitars & more hard hitting ! I should clear up the Lord Of Rings reference , I’m not a big fan of those movies but I certainly don’t mind songs about them ! Attaching the Blind Guardian name to this might not of been the right move but I get it ! I still enjoy Blind Guardian & their next album will be a day 1 purchase ! Thanks for the great comment & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 no thank you...you even mentioned a horrible maiden album that I have to agree once again even being that iron maiden is my go to all time favorite.
Good video Darcy! A lot of great bands with duds out there. I've fallen for some as well. I have resisted buying the 13 album. Probably good that I did.
Nice list. Sometimes it is hard to admit that music from some of our favorite groups actually do suck. Here are a couple of my favorite groups with bad albums: Accept-Eat the Heat; Saxon-Destiny; Dream Theater-The Admonishing; Queensryche-Dedicated to Chaos; Black Sabbath-Forbidden.
Don’t get me wrong I love Savatage , but for me I just find Fight For The Rock to be one of their weaker albums , Hall Of The Mountain King is my favourite ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Yes, "Hall" is an absolute masterpiece! I got few original CDs with this album, LP, few T-shirts, a big textile banner hanging in front of me right now... I'm a big fan! :D
@@rigormortis85 I just pre-ordered the third album of the new vinyl reissues Power Of The Night , I can’t wait for Hall Of The Mountain King & Gutter Ballet to come out !
Equator by Uriah Heep St. Anger by Metallica Endless wire by TheWho Eye II Eye by Scorpions Eat The Heat by Accept Constrictor by Alice Cooper Forbidden by Black Sabbath Cold Lake by Celtic Frost Hold Your Fire by Rush. Change Of Address by Krokus
Thanks for sharing your list Donald ! Even though I like a couple of songs on Hold Your Fire & as much as I love Rush i’m sure I would put it dead last if I was to rank their albums ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@l.salisbury1253 yes I would agree, however thus was supposed to be his big comeback. With exceptions of a couple of songs, it just sounded like generic 80’s glam rock.
@@donaldellis8952 I do agree with you on the Who's "Endless Wire". I'd really been looking forward to that one... especially after hearing the impressive "Wire & Glass" EP. I was completely disappointed with that full album which I thought was little more than a routine Townsend solo effort with occasional lead vocals by Daltery. (BTW: "Endless Wire" was also the title of a 1978 Gordon Lightfoot album!) Check out the Who's 2019 s/t album. While it won't make you forget "Who's Next" or "Quadrophenia" it IS a massive improvement over "Endlass Wire"... and "It's Hard"!
Hello again Darcy Six...I hope you are having a great weekend...so...are you one of those guys that's going to do "Ripper" Owens dirty too lol!! Rob Halford IS Priest...I wont dispute that one bit. It was clear by the last few Priest albums that the band needed a break from Halford. Enter Ripper Owens...bad for Halford fans but rather unique for more of us "thrash" guys. Priest first album with Ripper "Jugulator" was a absolute masterpiece. Bullet Train was an absolute crusher of a song...a super album. The follow-up "Demolition"...isn't even in the same room as Jugulator. It was good music...and I will agree not one of Priests best...but I think "terrible" is a strong word...especially when standing next to something like St. Anger...which actually was terrible 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great rest of your weekend and I look forward to debating with you again in the future...thanx!👍☠
The fact that you would include Dokken's "Dysfunctional" album on a list of "Ten Terrible Albums" is in of itself WHACK!!!! Especially when considering the album that followed, "Shadowlife" is truly considered a terrible album. Queensryche's "Dedicated To Chaos" is infinitely more deserving of inclusion here as well. In all honesty the album was originally written as Don's solo album, then he decided to do some writing with Jeff and it just snowballed into a Dokken album from there.
WHACK 🤣😂 that’s great ! Here’s the deal I grew up on the first 4 Dokken albums & after that never heard them for years , picked up Dysfunctional for cheap a few months back ! I’ve never heard Shadowlife , probably don’t need to right !? I’ve done a Queensryche ranking video & guess what’s in last place , yup you guessed it Dedicated To Chaos !! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Haha, you got me laughing when you held that Def Leppard one up. What are you doing with that in your collection? Lol 🤣 You have all the Def Leppard you need in the 1980's.... ☝️most of those you showed I don't have. The Priest one... hmm... will,I get it? Perhaps to complete someday... I probably will avoid that Scorpions too.... I can understand that Blind Guardian not being to many people's liking because it's so different to their other work. It's actually not even metal... it's more orchestral and classical. It's not my favourite either, but I am happy to keep it. Would have a hundred twilight orchestra's over that Def rubbish any day. 😉😁 Cool video Darcy. 👍🎶🎶
Oh that Def Leppard album ! I’m actually just saving it for the jewel case , next time I get a cracked one at least I know I have a replacement 🤣😂 Cheers Bev
Haha yeah! Honestly, I think Def Leppard's best album was their first one (On Through the Night). The band members were quite young at the time, and you can tell that they were very passionate about the music and they loved to rock! Steve Clarke was a hell of a guitar player too! Unfortunately, he was pretty much held back, or restrained, after Mutt Lange came along. At least, that's the way I see it.
I did one of these on my music channel. I completely forgot about Scorps' Eye to eye. I can't disagree with your pick from them, Wild Child is great and I like a couple other tracks. But overall that one is rough. Undying Evil is my favorite and first Enforcer song. I do dig the Priest song One on One. The VH album you and I are in total agreement. Oof not into that Def Leppard album either. I think X might be worse, but it's a toss up. I'm kind of meh on 13. I'd say Shadowlife is a worse Dokken album. Good list overall.
@@Casketkrusher_ Got stuck in a sword. I'm not lonely though as there are a billion other versions of me in there. Though the lousy gits never stop monologuing.
Can’t disagree with most of your choices Darcy. I do like 13 and Death Magnetic though. The “nice” Canadian in you is coming out In this video 😀. You try and find something nice to say about most (but not all) of these albums so it’s not completely negative. Cheers 🍻
U think the worst Black Sabbath album was their reunion live album which is probably the worst live album ever recorded.Ozzy sounds like a drunk kid,Butler loses tempo in almost every track and Iommi barely manages to deliver his solos...
Thank you for the request I’m still missing quite a few of their albums , so hopefully I can get that done down the road ! Thanks for tuning in 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
I quite like that JP album... Was my introduction to the band and always thought Ripper was an OG haha.. How wrong I was. 13 a good album but it does have some dull moments. 100% agree on all the rest. Good video Darcy!
I actually like the self titled Def Leppard album. I think X is their worst album. 13 is just ok to me. I definitely agree with you on Demolition and Van Halen III. I like Machine Man and One On One but that’s about it. With Van Halen III, I kinda like Without You and Fire In The Hole and maybe one other song but that album is embarrassing. Another bad album I would mention is Dedicated To Chaos by Queensryche. Yikes lol.
That’s ok if you disagree lol . I don’t mind a couple of those Kings X albums you sent me , but overall not a band I really dug too deep into , I’ll keep trying ! Hope all is well your way David 🤘
Hi Darcy!! that was a "tough list" towatch, couple of those i have not listen, but have to agree with VH3, Dokken just the first four records and "Lightining Strikes Back". I do like BS's "13" maybe not all of it, but there are some good songs..... Scorpions to me after "Love..." are kind of hit & miss specially the 90's stuff. Have not heard properly any DF from the recent years, but i think i have that record digitally, however a good band to see live....... Cheers and be well
I actually love Demolition, and the Jugulator, I'm one of the few that like Ripper era Priest. Not as much as Rob Priest. And I'm really loving KKs Priest.
That’s good to hear ! I can’t wait to get my copy of KK’s Priest , I love the songs I’ve heard so far ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Sabbath's '13', Krokus 'The Blizt' and Dokken 'Dysfunctional' are very great and enjoyable albums for me together with the Scorpions. I agree with you in the rest.
Yes The Blitz is a good album , I was talking about Change Of Address that wasn’t as good ! I actually got to see Krokus live on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 WASP opened , awesome show ! Cheers 🤘 Stay Safe
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 So great! Krokus was my firsts metal shows here in Chile, february 1985, two nights! I have a stepbrother who lives in Quebec. Cheers!
Pure Instinct is half good, half terrible. Wild Child, Stone In My Shoe, But The Best For You, When You Came Into My Life (there are bizarrely two versions, depending on what album you buy, but the first one is the better version). The non-heavy songs are absolute shit.
I didn’t know that about When You Came Into My Life , I’ll have to listen to the other version , thanks for letting me know ! I’m looking forward to their new album Rock Believer , should be early ‘22 ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I'm not looking forward to anything more from them. They should have retired in 2010 when they said they would (because that album was killer). My favorite band of all time, but they're well past their sell-by date, unfortunately.
Aerosmith- Music From Another Dimension Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy Metallica- Lulu Green Day- Father of All Motherfuckers Def Leppard- Def Leppard Motley Crue- Generation Swine Led Zeppelin- Coda
Yeah, Zenith was kind of a disappointment following Enforcer's other stellar fucking albums. Not terrible but not really to the same quality as something like Death by Fire
Cool ranking terrible albums, i also agree with it. St.Anger is not a bad nor a terrible album, it's just not a thrash album by Metallica, it's more a groove/metalcore album. Therefore if someone listen & love these genres will love St.Anger. It's a 2.5 out 5 album for me. Stay heavy🤘
@@johnrife7134 Well it's true, according to Metallica's discography and standars is a bad album, so i agree. But as a metalcore/groove album isn't that bad. If you don't like this kind of music, i respect that too.
@@CarloNassar The album is to heavy and fast to be Alt.Metal, and maybe some Nu Metal influences here & there, but it still groovy & cory for the most part. 🤘👍
Thanks to Spotify I don't really own many terrible albums. Most of the bands I collect a lot of (Paradise Lost, Rage, Grave Digger) are also really consistent. When I don't get something from them (The Devil Strikes Again and Healed By Metal I skipped) it's rather because it's uninspired rather than terrible. I do own St. Anger... but did not find it in the garbage bin, haha. The most terrible stuff I have besides that is stuff I got by accident (there's a Limp Bizkit album somewhere...) or 'specials' (Remanufacture comes to mind, just terrible remixes of Fear Factory's Demanufacture).
I love Legacy of the Dark Lands and like 13, but otherwise, I can't really argue that much. Demolition is an album I happen to own. Not getting rid of my copy cause it could be valuable eventually (Jugulator already is), but I'm not going to disagree with you.
How can you say that about '13'!? 😮 Maybe I'm a little biased because this album came out when I was a teenager but in my opinion it's one of the best albums of the decade 😁
I actually really like that album , it was my first new Mötley Crüe album that I bought on release day so I have good memoirs of that time in my life ! Louder Than Hell & Save Our Souls are awesome songs ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I get that ..see i started with Too Fast For Love, those first 2 albums are top notch after they went down hill for me. Cheers from Montreal!!
You might want check out my Accept ranking video lol . I actually really enjoy this album , no it’s not Udo … no one can replace the German tank ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

Came here to say that 13 by Black Sabbath is actually a pretty good album. And then I saw about 100 other comments that already said that.
Hey Bob 👋 You bet there is people that like 13 , just not one of my favourites ! I still love Black Sabbath , I have all their albums & then some lol , I hope to put together a ranking soon ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Yeah, I enjoyed "13" as well. Granted it doesn't hold a black candle to their first six albums but it IS better than their last two with the Ozzman. Plus you also have to consider the questionable conditions it was recorded under: Iommi's lymphoma, Geezer's arthritis, Bill Ward's leaving over health problems (which he tried to cover up as a falling out with Sharon)... and while I know this above post wasn't much of a Rick Rubin fan I do have to admit his production was the REAL star of the album!
@Mr.Brenman21 I love Never Say Die; Junior's Eyes I particularly love. I know Ozzy says he hates it but he was in a bad place at the time, and a lot of those comments about Never Say Die are from the 80s when he never wasted an opportunity to slag off Sabbath.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I agree with you. I really wanted to love it but like you, I don't hate it, I just find it a bit boring.
How could you miss Queensrÿche - Dedicated to Chaos? That album is a hot, steaming pile of crap.
You are 100% right ! Maybe it’s time for a part 2 lol . Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
You rescued St Anger from a bin? I couldn't even watch the video after that.
Nice video! I actually much prefer Demolition over Nostradamus. I’ve got plenty of clunkers in my collection. Operation Mindcrime II, Generation Swine, just to name a few.
Yeah more people REALLY need to check out some of Sabbath's stuff that's sort of been buried over the years. Albums like Eternal Idol and Tyr are some of their best stuff to be honest.
I listened to Headless Cross and was blown away by it... They need to reissue that stuff and put it in Spotify!
The Eternal Idol - Headless Cross and Tyr are amazing albums.Tony Martin is a great singer.
Agree with everything except "13". If I were to mention Sabbath on this thread it'd be "Forbidden".
Hey Marcio 👋 I tried to stay away from a few real obvious ones & Forbidden is one of them , terrible album indeed ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
From what I have read/heard, Savatages Fight for the Rock was actually pressured by the Producers to put out a "Radio Friendly" album. The Band even admits it Sucks.
Everything else from them is great.
Savatage said the only nice thing about Fight For The Rock was getting to live in London during the recording process which they really enjoyed being guys from suburban Florida and London being a city with a population of 9 million must have been so exciting. There were a lot of heavy metal clubs and the band enjoyed the bars/restaurants.
Darcy, fantastic topic and video. I totally agree with you on 13. You mentioned 2 albums i dig; Demolition(it has some fillers) and Pure Instinct.
My honourable mentions:
1. Deep Purple-Rapture of the Deep
2. Helloween-Helloween
3.Nightwish-Endless Forms Most Beautiful
4. Bon Jovi- Lost Highway
5. Aerosmith- Rock in a Hard Place
For Aerosmith I think Just Push Play was their weakest album.
this Nightwish album is not so bad compared to their latest album. Human. :II: Nature. (2020) is just trash.
Rock in A Hard Place is a great album! Everything after Pump is just awful, but I’d draw the line at Done With Mirrors as their last truly good album, before the sell out
@@markcolhan8901 Done with mirrors was originally supposed to be their comeback album but ended up being permanent vacation. Get A Grip was their last great album.
I actually really like Black Sabbath’s 13, In my opinion the first four songs are amazing and the rest is throw away. I think Judas Priest’s Juggulator is a fantastic album. Also, did you pick of the vinyl reissue of Megadeth’s Unplugged in Boston? I really love Dave’s guitar tone on it
Are you sure you’re not spying on my house ? 😂 Megadeth Unplugged In Boston just arrived today I shit you not , silver vinyl ! I’ll give it a listen tonight and let you know what I think ! Cheers Sam 🤘 Loud ‘n’ Proud
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I promise I’m not spying on your house 😂 I have just been listening to it lots and I was wondering what your opinion is, I thinks it’s fairly good, they even play a song from Risk! Sometime this week, I’m gonna have to order a copy for myself on vinyl! Cheers
I gave 13 more than a chance and it just didn't work out.
I was all set to hate 13. Told everyone it was a pathetic transparent cash grab. And I ended up liking it, lol. Ouch. Enough people hated it for me, I can be the weirdo who likes it."BORN IN A GRAVEYARD..." sure, a little Mercyful Fate flavor lifting, but I really liked that one.
@@saltpeter7429 Yeh, it's up to you as to what you like. Now, if you have to force yourself to like it that's a whole different thing.
Great video! I didn’t listen to Demolition for years from what I heard from others but I loved Jugulator and went in with no expectations and Demolition is now one of my favourite Priest albums, I also think Black Sabbath’s 13 is quite good.
Does the St.Anger album sound as bad on vinyl as it did on CD? The bonus DVD was good. The songs sounded better on that.
Yes funny enough it does sound a bit better on vinyl , I don’t even know how to explain it maybe it sounds a little less irritating lol , no joke that album actually puts me in a bad mood , there’s no way I could sit through that whole album in one shot ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care Andrew
Good video!!! I really enjoyed the Scorpions and Krokus albums, the savatage one to. I know those albums aren't for everyone, but hey to each their own
@6:26 - I always preferred JP's "Jugulator" which is sadly not available on any streaming service / legal digital distribution, over "Demolition". I think the only two songs I like off it are probably "Subterfuge" and "Lost and Found". Though, with that said, it's not a terrible album imo, but not very memorable whatsoever.. and somehow, unlike "Jugulator", it's actually available digitally / streaming, kinda stupid.
The reason Jugulator isn't available on streaming services is because the record label they were signed onto for that album went bankrupt.
@@georgewalker3702 Yah, I think I heard that somewhere as well, so.. figures.
@@catfightparadise it really is a shame, though. Jugulator is really a great album, but you just can't find it anywhere.
Great picks Darcy! I agree all the way. And what a great comment to sum up the VH album! ”They probably should have lowered this canon about ten inches”😂👍 Take care!🤘
Oh shit man the things that come out of my mouth sometimes 🤣 Take care Nik
Cool list. Our tastes in metal are actually quite different. I actually liked 13 by Sabbath. Of course, I wouldn't call it their absolute best but there are enough tracks on there that I think are quite satisfying for me to call it a good album: Loner, Beginning Of The End, God Is Dead, etc.
Haha!. Good show Darcy. Chuckling like mad seeing St Anger propped up in the background! 😆 👍
I was hoping someone would find that funny 😊 Cheers my friend
Great upload Darcy, I agree with 13 to me it’s not a return to form at all, I find it quite boring. Keep up the good work 👍🏻🤘🏻
Hey, dude. I like "Van Halen III", "Demolition" and "13", good albums in my opinion. I have 500 albums and the only one I really dont like is Solefald - "Pills against the ageless ills", it really sucks. But I have read amazing critics in magazines... Those were the times without TH-cam.
Mötley Crüe.... Generation Swine
Total Shit !
Forbidden - Black Sabbath
Chinese Democracy - Guns N Roses
Savage Amusement - Scorpions
Van Halen III - Van Halen
DaDa - Alice Cooper
Adrenalize - Def Leppard
The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
Kilory Was Here - Styx
Raised On Radio - Journey
Hot Space - Queen
I don’t own any of these albums..what does that say :)
I agree with everything EXCEPT Black Sabbath's "13". That album is slow and doomy for sure, but quite an interesting listen if you give it a chance. And I had totally forgotten how awful "Pure Instinct" by Scorpions was! I do remember my disappointment that it had WAY to many ballads and forgettable songs. And mirroring your story about St Anger, I too found a Metallica album in the trash once, but it was Re-Load, I took it home with me because I felt sorry for it.
"13" is a good album. Certainly better than "Never Say Die!" I really don't know why people rag on that album. Now, Ozzy's "Ordinary Man", that's a piece of sh*t! Iommi's riffs are as dark and doomy as always.
@@mark_beastpriest5539 because Ozzy is awful. His return to Sabbath was them worse.
@@cybereus836 Yes. But I didn't buy the album because of him. Ozzy hasn't sounded good for years, only selling albums and concert tickets on past glories. No, my reasons are for Tony Iommi. His tone and sound are still rich, and he is very much the mastermind behind Black Sabbath. I would like to see him work with Tony Martin again some day, as the albums they made with Martin were great and underappreciated.
Cool list and a few surprises actually. Didn't expect to see 13. I don't mind that album lol. I agree on Savatage though, not great at all. I'm shocked you even had JP in there too, I know it's seen as awful, I've actually never heard it but I just thought they were too sacred to include lol. I've never actually heard the rest but I'd never go that deep into some of those bands, Great video.
Don’t underestimate Papa6Strings , I’m only scared of one thing & I’m married to her 🤣 Cheers mate
Are there albums WORSE than St. Anger???
There’s an idea for a new video , “show 10 album worse than St-Anger” , shit man I don’t know if that’s possible ! Hope everything is going good for you 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Nice to see you jump on this thread! Most of the albums you show here I´ve never heard a single song. I love Scorpions but I never heard "Pure Instinct", same with Savatage, never heard "Fight...". I somehow like "13", I don´t know what it is but yeah, I think it´s pretty OK. Judas Priest´s "Demolition" is another record I never gave a listen.
I think the issue was that they signed contracts that required the bands to put out a certain amount of albums in a short time. You can't rush inspiration and art.
Very true ! Those were the years when they were banging out an album every year & it didn’t always work out did it ! Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Wasp: Kill, Fuck, Die
Motley Crue: Generation Swine
I liked most of Dysfunctional, the follow up to that Shadow Life is by far their worst. Then George left and they got good again on Erase The Slate.
i dont mind demolition....
I’d still love get it on vinyl , the Ripper years definitely need to be reissued ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yeah they should reissue them...nice one. From the home of metaaaal...birmingham uk
Excellent job! Nice little Motley Crue jab for Jailhouse Rock. 😅🤣🤣 Spot on. VHIII is horrifying. Def Leppard! Yawn! 13 is sooooooo ponderous. Rick Rubin destroyed Death Magnetic. That Sabbath album was pasted together. Add Technical Ecstasy in there. Dysfunctional is totally weird so I kinda dig it. Broke the mold. Lulu??? Makes St. Anger look masterful. Generation Swine? Anything from Queensryche after Tribe. 😝
Van Halen III is for all intents and purposes an Eddie Van Halen solo album. Cherone was pretty much just doing as he was told.
It’s for hardcore VH fans only
Which was pretty much why Eddie was praising Gary so much at the time. I'm not happy that Eddie passed away, but I'm not going to present Eddie as this ideal person, like a lot of people have been doing.
Virtual XI is a good album. If you skip/delete/hide The Angel and the Gambler it's quite solid.
I think The Angel And The Gambler is amazing along with the album. You simply need to approach it with an open mind and not to have any expectations. Also listening the album several times can help to like it. I've started to love many Maiden songs just by listening them over and over.
Always nice to hear from you, Darcy! To be honest, i don't think st anger was THAT bad. Actually i purchased it some time ago (finally). I found that cool store with music and bought me bunch of mc cassette tapes like tom petty and ugly kid Joe. The other day I fell for some Korn and Metallica albums. Good vibes! Take care!
I have been meaning to pick up Headhunter until now i just have a Krokus live album. Great reasons for your picks mate and glad you picked an album from 1 of your favourite bands. I had a great time doing my thread response too. Take care mate😃
Headhunter is a great album
Love the hydrogen generator you display in your thumb nail. Good stuff I get it dude!
😂 great thread great video! That’s an amazing st. Anger story 😂. Some of these I haven’t heard but I’m on board with the dokken . It’s a bad album in every way. Van Halen III is wicked also lol. Metallica’s Lulu comes to mind also.anyway cool fun video. Darcy stay well brother
Yup true story lol . I’ll be honest I’ve never heard Lulu & I never will ! Cheers brother 🤘 Stay Safe
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I've never felt it fair to call it "Metallica's Lulu" as it's not a Metallica album. It's a Lou Reed album that he wrote and asked Metallica to play backing music on. No where on the album cover doesn't it even call it a Metallica album. It's worse than calling Ghosts of Mars an Anthrax album because John Carpenter asked Anthrax to write the music for the movie.
Wow I own a lot more of these than I'd like to admit. I was just waiting for you to bring up 90s Dokken. Surprised no Megadeth Risk.
But on a positive note I just got KKs Priest today and it's really killer!!
I like how you picked different stuff from other channels. Agreed, nut shot on Van Halen 3 lol. I still need to put my list together. There's a B-side or disc 2 track called Methademic from Black Sabbath's 13 that's worth checking out. I couldn't get into the rest of the album though either. I have a weak spot for Dokken's Dysfunctional because I saw that tour and still have a cool t-shirt.
Back in the day (the 80s) you could be forgiven for buying bad albums.... the cover art , band reputation or whatever drew you in. But in the modern world with access to nearly anything on the net you would have to be a bit of a fruit loop purchasing anything that you didnt like ... cool video Darcy , everyone's got there own opinion ... rock on.
Lookin' back now at 53, I loved some rubbish in my teens, yeah just like you said.
Some (dis)honourable mentions: Motley Crue: Generation Swine, Def Leppard: Pretty much everything after "Pyromania", and Twisted Sister, Love is for Suckers. 🤢😴
Except for VH3 I haven’t heard any of the rest. I never picked up the latest BG as I knew it was in no way shape or form metal 😝 great vid response 🤘
Van Halen 3 seemed poorly mixed to me.
Hey Darcy. I'd probably agree with a few of these. Especially that Def Leppard. I was thinking of picking tit up at the time but wasn't impressed, especially after their previous effort. They are still good live though. I don't mind the 13 album, not their best, but it is still on my list to pick up....still, so I'm not in a rush. Nice response 🤘🤘
I totally get why people don't like some of these, but I like the Savatage, Dokken and Scorpions albums you showed, and half of that Krokus album. But that Def Leppard album I checked out on them years and years ago! But it's all a matter of opinion.
Yeah, I agree on all you listed.
I remember when I was a teen, I'd spend the night with my cousin and she had The Blitz. Played the shit outta Our Love. I still like that song plus a few others.
I agree with you about Pure Instinct but disagree when it comes to Def Leppard, Dysfunctional, and 13.
I thought Death Magnetic was a pretty good album. It's not as good as the classic albums of course, but it was the best thing they had done since the black album.
The only bad things I can even think of from that album is End of the Line and the mix. I wish also they kept the Beyond Magnetic tracks but it is what it is. An especially easy fix is listening to the tracks live, the E flat tuning helps the tunes a bunch and in the case of All Nightmare Long Drop C# tuning. Cyanide especially sounds better live than the studio version.
Black Álbum is the Metallica's end.
@@Lucyano_Franko yeah. I didnt like it. Every few years I put it on again and, nope, still dont like it. Wierd. The whole world loved it! Massive success. I thought And Justice For All was the best metal album ever, and all down hill from there.
I think it’s actually very underrated.
Load and ReLoad are cool
Just discovered your channel, man! My favorite band is Thin Lizzy; can't wait to see if you got some stuff to say about them. Cheers 🍻🍻
My Thin Lizzy collection is thin (no pun intended lol) but the good news is I’m working on it ! What’s your Top 3 albums from them ? Thanks for watching , please stop by anytime 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yeeah! Thank you for your answer.... My Lizzy top 3 would be 1. " Bad Reputation" 2. " Vagabonds of The Western World" 3. " Thunder and Lightning" 🍻🍻🍻🍻
I’m a huge Dokken fan especially the first 4 albums with Tooth and Nail being my favorite. You hit the nail on the head with Dysfunctional that is god awful. The first time I heard it I was like what is this mess. I played it a few times figuring maybe it would be one of those albums that would grow on you but that ain’t happening . Just saw channel come down my TH-cam feed great channel man !
Hard to beat those first 4 Dokken albums isn’t it ! Thanks for the kind words , please stop by anytime 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 No doubt those early to mid 80’s Dokken albums are some of my favorite all time albums . I’m 52 and I still love the music of that era Dokken,Ratt, Accept , Krokus, VH etc etc the list goes on.We were blessed with great music and great times in the 80’s . Same here thanks for the kind words and take care .
Last week you were talking about the Todd LaTorre album. I think I picked it up because of you or Scott Waters was talking about it. Anyway, it’s outstanding. I haven’t listened to Queensryche since Mindcrime. Dee Snider’s new album Leave a Scar is awesome as well. I haven’t listened to him since Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry. I believe I will have both albums in my top 20 at the end of the year.
I saw Queensryche with my two best friends in the summer of 1995. When their 1997 album came out I was so bummed out and haven’t listened to them since.
You criticize Savatage Fight For The Rock, yet you have the digipack which was reissued 30 years after they shit that turd. Why would you buy it if you knew it was awful in the first place?
A lot of my favourite bands I will still buy everything even if it’s “terrible “ , maybe that’s not even the right word for some of these , let’s just say these are some of the weaker albums from bands I love ! I bought the reissue because I was replacing my cassette from back in the day ! Thanks for watching Mark 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 ok, that’s fair. I’m also a completist. I consider “Hyde” to be one of their most powerful songs though the album is very rarely played at my house. I think this is one of the re-issues I never bothered with, along with Dungeons and Sirens. I did buy the first reissues of dungeons and Sirens though. I just decided I don’t play them enough to buy them for a 4th time
I have a soft spot for VH3 it's a weird album but I like it.
Nothing wrong with that Justin , we all hear them different ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Black sabbaths 13 nearly made my list! Completely underwhelming. I can agree on Savatage too. I haven’t bothered to look passed the first four Dokken albums because you never hear good things about them. Great video mate!
I kinda like Judas Priest "Demolition". Savatage "Fight for the rock" may stray a bit from the edgy heavy metal of the beginnings, but it's still good hard rock.
Scorpions "Pure instinct" was the big disappointment of my life, that's when they became a pure cheesy pop-rock band for housewives. I found Black Sabbath "13" uninspired.
"They should have lowered the cannon about 10 inches.....because this album is a kick to the nuts" 😅🤣😂
I haven't heard a lot of these to be honest so will have to take your word for it until I do! The only bone of contention for me here is your choice of drop off album for Krokus, yes Change of Address is bad but The Blitz was a massive drop off for me, I fully expected CoA to be terrible after that howler!
I saw Krokus on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 , WASP opened , both bands were awesome ! So I might have a wee soft spot for The Blitz lol , I still say Change Of Address is not as good ! See we didn’t fall out 😂 Cheers my friend :))
You want a major drop off for Krokus? What about their sole album for MCA, Metal Heart? I had the cassette and not only can't remember any song...but the cassette seemed to be harshly mastered...way too bright and tinny sounding.
Hey George 👋 Are you taking about Heart Attack ? I wouldn’t argue your point about the production , definitely a little off , but the album does have some great tracks like Wild Love , Axx Attack & Winning Man !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 It may well be Heart Attack! Damn...must be that bad if I got the title wrong! 😆
Great video Darcy. I'm glad to finally hear someone say it about Extreme. I just don't get it. But what ever happened to Def Leppard? What a waste of talent. High N Dry is one of my favourite albums ever. God they have brought out some serious crap since
Thanks very much ! I’ll tell you what , after Steve Clark died Def Leppard where never the same & how could they be , the guy is irreplaceable ! I’m not hacking on Extreme but they are just too wimpy for me lol . Thanks for hanging out at Planet6Strings 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Have u ever heard Make Love Like A Man by Def Leppard? Lyrics go Make Love like a man, I'm a Man, that's what I am.... Did Joe Elliot write this when he was 10 years old? Embarrassing.. I was hoping Vivian Campbell would liven things up, but I have given up all hope on Leppard. Maybe we were just spoilt with all the great music that came out in the 80's!!
Really didn't think 13 was terrible. Other than that, I agree with everything, except maybe the Dokken album. There are a few great tracks on that one I really dig. You could have included any Def Leppard album after Pyromania on this list too.
My fave tracks on "13" are End of the Beginning, Loner and God is Dead? Ok, not their best. But a far cry from their worst.
80s heavy metal and thrash bands made so many disappointing, boring or downright bad releases throughout 90s. The only really great album that impressed me at the time was The X Factor by Iron Maiden and I still love it.
In my opinion the true maiden fans stayed with the band and didn't jump ship when Bruce left, I'm proud to say I'm one of these and I really like the X factor album.
I really need to update my ranking to include Senjutsu, also my opinion on X Factor has changed over the past 4 years, it definitely will rank higher.
I didn’t have to jump ship with the X factor, that was already assisted by iron maiden with the awful no prayer for the dying.
There's so many crappy albums to choose from.
Everyone was praising that Def Leppard album in 2015 as the best since Hysteria, lol. I personally think Songs From the Sparkle Lounge that came out before it, blows it out of the water.
Man there was some cheese on this list! Great vid
Cool list there, Darcy! I'm not surprised to see Judas Priest's Demolition. However, I didn't expect to see Black Sabbath's 13 there.
13 is terrible
Just when you thought you knew me Tony 🤣 13 is B-O-R-I-N-G
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Most phoned in album I’ve ever heard. Completely passionless and soulless album I feel
I'm curious, did you not like the legacy of the dark lands because it wasn't a metal album and the story element, or do you really not like the Lord of the Rings-style thematics, because Lord of the Rings and fantasy is their bread and butter. One of their most popular albums is called nightfall in middle earth, which coincidentally also had interludes. The only thing I can say about the legacy of the dark lands is maybe they should have branded the album a bit better because, as you said, it's not supposed to be a power metal album or metal at all. They differentiate the album from their main body of work as the Blind Guardian Twilight Orchestra because the lead singer is the only member of the band to perform in it. I viewed it as a pretty natural spinoff for the band because they already did a lot of symphonic things in their work already. Was the deal-breaker just the lack of electric guitar?
I think in my mind I was expecting something else , yes more guitars & more hard hitting ! I should clear up the Lord Of Rings reference , I’m not a big fan of those movies but I certainly don’t mind songs about them ! Attaching the Blind Guardian name to this might not of been the right move but I get it ! I still enjoy Blind Guardian & their next album will be a day 1 purchase ! Thanks for the great comment & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
That’s so funny you found st anger in the garbage😂😂😂 I actually get in the mood for st anger from time time!
Hey Darcy.
Great video again. I'm 90 percent of your opinion. But i love these 2 Krokus albums. This is good party metal music 😉
Cheers 🤘
“Illud Divinum Insanus” is considered an infamous blunder among Death Metal fans. I enjoy it for the comedic value though.
Love how brutally honest you are with your opinion of these bands and I have to agree 💯.
Thanks man ! It pains me to talk bad about any of the bands I love lol . Thanks for watching 🤘. Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 no thank you...you even mentioned a horrible maiden album that I have to agree once again even being that iron maiden is my go to all time favorite.
Good video Darcy! A lot of great bands with duds out there. I've fallen for some as well. I have resisted buying the 13 album. Probably good that I did.
Nice list. Sometimes it is hard to admit that music from some of our favorite groups actually do suck. Here are a couple of my favorite groups with bad albums: Accept-Eat the Heat; Saxon-Destiny; Dream Theater-The Admonishing; Queensryche-Dedicated to Chaos; Black Sabbath-Forbidden.
"Fight For The Rock" is actually one of my favourite albums from Savatage. ) Great stuff!
Don’t get me wrong I love Savatage , but for me I just find Fight For The Rock to be one of their weaker albums , Hall Of The Mountain King is my favourite ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Yes, "Hall" is an absolute masterpiece! I got few original CDs with this album, LP, few T-shirts, a big textile banner hanging in front of me right now... I'm a big fan! :D
@@rigormortis85 I just pre-ordered the third album of the new vinyl reissues Power Of The Night , I can’t wait for Hall Of The Mountain King & Gutter Ballet to come out !
Probably could take any popular 80’s metal band and look at what they released after about 1995 and it’s likely really bad.
Equator by Uriah Heep
St. Anger by Metallica
Endless wire by TheWho
Eye II Eye by Scorpions
Eat The Heat by Accept
Constrictor by Alice Cooper
Forbidden by Black Sabbath
Cold Lake by Celtic Frost
Hold Your Fire by Rush.
Change Of Address by Krokus
Thanks for sharing your list Donald ! Even though I like a couple of songs on Hold Your Fire & as much as I love Rush i’m sure I would put it dead last if I was to rank their albums ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
The Coop's comeback LP "Constrictor" was actually BETTER than the three album that preceded it...!
@@l.salisbury1253 yes I would agree, however thus was supposed to be his big comeback. With exceptions of a couple of songs, it just sounded like generic 80’s glam rock.
@@donaldellis8952 I do agree with you on the Who's "Endless Wire". I'd really been looking forward to that one... especially after hearing the impressive "Wire & Glass" EP. I was completely disappointed with that full album which I thought was little more than a routine Townsend solo effort with occasional lead vocals by Daltery. (BTW: "Endless Wire" was also the title of a 1978 Gordon Lightfoot album!)
Check out the Who's 2019 s/t album. While it won't make you forget "Who's Next" or "Quadrophenia" it IS a massive improvement over "Endlass Wire"... and "It's Hard"!
Hello again Darcy Six...I hope you are having a great weekend...so...are you one of those guys that's going to do "Ripper" Owens dirty too lol!! Rob Halford IS Priest...I wont dispute that one bit. It was clear by the last few Priest albums that the band needed a break from Halford. Enter Ripper Owens...bad for Halford fans but rather unique for more of us "thrash" guys. Priest first album with Ripper "Jugulator" was a absolute masterpiece. Bullet Train was an absolute crusher of a song...a super album. The follow-up "Demolition"...isn't even in the same room as Jugulator. It was good music...and I will agree not one of Priests best...but I think "terrible" is a strong word...especially when standing next to something like St. Anger...which actually was terrible 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great rest of your weekend and I look forward to debating with you again in the future...thanx!👍☠
The fact that you would include Dokken's "Dysfunctional" album on a list of "Ten Terrible Albums" is in of itself WHACK!!!! Especially when considering the album that followed, "Shadowlife" is truly considered a terrible album. Queensryche's "Dedicated To Chaos" is infinitely more deserving of inclusion here as well. In all honesty the album was originally written as Don's solo album, then he decided to do some writing with Jeff and it just snowballed into a Dokken album from there.
WHACK 🤣😂 that’s great ! Here’s the deal I grew up on the first 4 Dokken albums & after that never heard them for years , picked up Dysfunctional for cheap a few months back ! I’ve never heard Shadowlife , probably don’t need to right !? I’ve done a Queensryche ranking video & guess what’s in last place , yup you guessed it Dedicated To Chaos !! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Haha, you got me laughing when you held that Def Leppard one up. What are you doing with that in your collection? Lol 🤣 You have all the Def Leppard you need in the 1980's.... ☝️most of those you showed I don't have. The Priest one... hmm... will,I get it? Perhaps to complete someday... I probably will avoid that Scorpions too.... I can understand that Blind Guardian not being to many people's liking because it's so different to their other work. It's actually not even metal... it's more orchestral and classical. It's not my favourite either, but I am happy to keep it. Would have a hundred twilight orchestra's over that Def rubbish any day. 😉😁
Cool video Darcy. 👍🎶🎶
Oh that Def Leppard album ! I’m actually just saving it for the jewel case , next time I get a cracked one at least I know I have a replacement 🤣😂 Cheers Bev
Haha yeah! Honestly, I think Def Leppard's best album was their first one (On Through the Night). The band members were quite young at the time, and you can tell that they were very passionate about the music and they loved to rock! Steve Clarke was a hell of a guitar player too! Unfortunately, he was pretty much held back, or restrained, after Mutt Lange came along. At least, that's the way I see it.
RockerNate81 you are so right about Clark being held back. Definitely agree there. His talents were somewhat stifled.
I did one of these on my music channel. I completely forgot about Scorps' Eye to eye. I can't disagree with your pick from them, Wild Child is great and I like a couple other tracks. But overall that one is rough. Undying Evil is my favorite and first Enforcer song. I do dig the Priest song One on One. The VH album you and I are in total agreement. Oof not into that Def Leppard album either. I think X might be worse, but it's a toss up. I'm kind of meh on 13. I'd say Shadowlife is a worse Dokken album. Good list overall.
Raziel! How you doing buddy! What happened after Defiance?
@@Casketkrusher_ Got stuck in a sword. I'm not lonely though as there are a billion other versions of me in there. Though the lousy gits never stop monologuing.
Can’t disagree with most of your choices Darcy. I do like 13 and Death Magnetic though. The “nice” Canadian in you is coming out In this video 😀. You try and find something nice to say about most (but not all) of these albums so it’s not completely negative. Cheers 🍻
U think the worst Black Sabbath album was their reunion live album which is probably the worst live album ever recorded.Ozzy sounds like a drunk kid,Butler loses tempo in almost every track and Iommi barely manages to deliver his solos...
You should do a Vicious Rumors cd rate
Thank you for the request I’m still missing quite a few of their albums , so hopefully I can get that done down the road ! Thanks for tuning in 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 The past members list is incredible 😂 I’m missing 2 I think , a box of my cds got stolen 😞
I quite like that JP album... Was my introduction to the band and always thought Ripper was an OG haha.. How wrong I was. 13 a good album but it does have some dull moments. 100% agree on all the rest. Good video Darcy!
I thought you would troll and actually pull out 10 st anger albums
That would of been funny ! Thanks for stopping by 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I actually like the self titled Def Leppard album. I think X is their worst album. 13 is just ok to me. I definitely agree with you on Demolition and Van Halen III. I like Machine Man and One On One but that’s about it. With Van Halen III, I kinda like Without You and Fire In The Hole and maybe one other song but that album is embarrassing. Another bad album I would mention is Dedicated To Chaos by Queensryche. Yikes lol.
That Dokken is their homage to King's X. I totally disagree on that one
That’s ok if you disagree lol . I don’t mind a couple of those Kings X albums you sent me , but overall not a band I really dug too deep into , I’ll keep trying ! Hope all is well your way David 🤘
Hi Darcy!! that was a "tough list" towatch, couple of those i have not listen, but have to agree with VH3, Dokken just the first four records and "Lightining Strikes Back". I do like BS's "13" maybe not all of it, but there are some good songs..... Scorpions to me after "Love..." are kind of hit & miss specially the 90's stuff. Have not heard properly any DF from the recent years, but i think i have that record digitally, however a good band to see live....... Cheers and be well
I actually love Demolition, and the Jugulator, I'm one of the few that like Ripper era Priest. Not as much as Rob Priest. And I'm really loving KKs Priest.
That’s good to hear ! I can’t wait to get my copy of KK’s Priest , I love the songs I’ve heard so far ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Jugulator was amazing
Juglator is horrible, demolition is better because it has some good riffs and melodies, Juglator feels so dry for judas priest
Love Enforcer’s “Diamonds” album. Wish they stayed with that formula.
Oh me too ! I think I’ll put that on right now ! Thanks Greg 🏈
Even just the first song on that album is worth the price of admission alone.
Darn Lions-Riders lost, DOHHH!
@@blackmorerules I think Winnipeg is going to be the team to beat this season !
I sure found that out the hard way last Lions game, sighhhh. I agree with you.
Sabbath's '13', Krokus 'The Blizt' and Dokken 'Dysfunctional' are very great and enjoyable albums for me together with the Scorpions. I agree with you in the rest.
Yes The Blitz is a good album , I was talking about Change Of Address that wasn’t as good ! I actually got to see Krokus live on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 WASP opened , awesome show ! Cheers 🤘 Stay Safe
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 So great! Krokus was my firsts metal shows here in Chile, february 1985, two nights! I have a stepbrother who lives in Quebec. Cheers!
Pure Instinct is half good, half terrible. Wild Child, Stone In My Shoe, But The Best For You, When You Came Into My Life (there are bizarrely two versions, depending on what album you buy, but the first one is the better version). The non-heavy songs are absolute shit.
I didn’t know that about When You Came Into My Life , I’ll have to listen to the other version , thanks for letting me know ! I’m looking forward to their new album Rock Believer , should be early ‘22 ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I'm not looking forward to anything more from them. They should have retired in 2010 when they said they would (because that album was killer). My favorite band of all time, but they're well past their sell-by date, unfortunately.
Aerosmith- Music From Another Dimension
Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy
Metallica- Lulu
Green Day- Father of All Motherfuckers
Def Leppard- Def Leppard
Motley Crue- Generation Swine
Led Zeppelin- Coda
Yeah, Zenith was kind of a disappointment following Enforcer's other stellar fucking albums. Not terrible but not really to the same quality as something like Death by Fire
Cool ranking terrible albums, i also agree with it. St.Anger is not a bad nor a terrible album, it's just not a thrash album by Metallica, it's more a groove/metalcore album. Therefore if someone listen & love these genres will love St.Anger. It's a 2.5 out 5 album for me. Stay heavy🤘
No dude. Just no. That's a bad album.
@@johnrife7134 Well it's true, according to Metallica's discography and standars is a bad album, so i agree. But as a metalcore/groove album isn't that bad. If you don't like this kind of music, i respect that too.
I thought it was alt and nu metal.
@@johnrife7134
In your opinion, sure.
@@CarloNassar The album is to heavy and fast to be Alt.Metal, and maybe some Nu Metal influences here & there, but it still groovy & cory for the most part. 🤘👍
Thanks to Spotify I don't really own many terrible albums. Most of the bands I collect a lot of (Paradise Lost, Rage, Grave Digger) are also really consistent. When I don't get something from them (The Devil Strikes Again and Healed By Metal I skipped) it's rather because it's uninspired rather than terrible. I do own St. Anger... but did not find it in the garbage bin, haha. The most terrible stuff I have besides that is stuff I got by accident (there's a Limp Bizkit album somewhere...) or 'specials' (Remanufacture comes to mind, just terrible remixes of Fear Factory's Demanufacture).
On "Pure Instint" you mention "Wild Child" but there's also "Oh Girl (I wanna be qith you) that it's a great song
One on One is great song.
I love Legacy of the Dark Lands and like 13, but otherwise, I can't really argue that much.
Demolition is an album I happen to own. Not getting rid of my copy cause it could be valuable eventually (Jugulator already is), but I'm not going to disagree with you.
How can you say that about '13'!? 😮
Maybe I'm a little biased because this album came out when I was a teenager but in my opinion it's one of the best albums of the decade 😁
Motley Crue- Theatre of Pain
I actually really like that album , it was my first new Mötley Crüe album that I bought on release day so I have good memoirs of that time in my life ! Louder Than Hell & Save Our Souls are awesome songs ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I get that ..see i started with Too Fast For Love, those first 2 albums are top notch after they went down hill for me. Cheers from Montreal!!
@@53andlazerfocused21 I love those 2 albums too ! I’m doing a Mötley Crüe album ranking soon 👀 Stay Tuned
The follow up to Dysfunctional is a whole lot worse.IMHO
That’s what people are saying , i’ve honestly never heard it ! Thanks for the heads up I will steer clear of that one !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Dokken go grunge
Accept.... Eat The Heat
You might want check out my Accept ranking video lol . I actually really enjoy this album , no it’s not Udo … no one can replace the German tank ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I love it
