Nice job Bryce! I was probably around your age when these came out. It was a great time to be a metal dude in the 80s. What great stuff in such a small window. Keep up the great work. HORNS UP!!!!!!

Lol, 1985, my freshman year in high school, remember all the headbangers jammin' to many of these songs in the parking lot before and after school, thanks for bringing me back👍🏽
I'm a huge Dokken fan and always liked Under Lock and Key but not as much as the other early albums. Also love Marching Out. Invasion of Your Privacy would definitely be on my list. Overall, good list. Thanks for taking the time to talk about great rock and metal albums. I was a sophomore in high school when most of these were released so one more reason I like to hear the reviews.
1. Michael Bolton - Everybody's Crazy 2. Mr Mister - Welcome to the Real World 3. Rush - Power Windows 4. Accept - Metal Heart 5. Dokken - Under Lock and Key 6. Fortune - S/T 7. Dio - Sacred Heart 8. Starship - Knee Deep in the Hoopla 9. Shy - Brave the Storm 10. Slayer - Hell Awaits
A couple of others I didn't hear mentioned were Keel - The Right To Rock, Accept - Metal Heart, and Kiss - Asylum. Oh, and 2 amazing live albums from 1985 were Iron Maiden - Live After Death and Scorpions - World Wide Live. I know you said it barely missed the list, but I personally would've included Lizzy Borden - Love You To Pieces
1. Helloween - Walls of Jericho 2. Savatage - Power of The Night 3. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within 4. Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion 5. Universe - Universe 6. Virgin Steele - Noble Savage 7. Slayer - Hell Awaits 8. Overkill - Feel The Fire 9. Megadeth - Killing Is My Business 10. Loudness - Thunder In The East
Nice! My list would be different (of course), but love Dokken Under Lock & Key #1. Top ten hair metal album, easy! My personal #1 would be either Slayer - Hell Awaits or Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion. Overkill, Pentagram, & Megadeth would HAVE to be up there too.
Thanks for shedding some light on the band Chastain... mystery of Illusion is excellent their next three or four albums also good David T Chastains instrumental variations album killer!..... if you want more David T Chastain check out his local Cincinnati rock band....C.J.S.S. praise the Loud album all albums excellent guitar work and vocals
I saw Chastain at Bogart's in Cincinnati about 4 years ago..... reunions tour leather was excellent talk to her after the show and told her so.... David T Chastain is always superb on guitar...... I turn 60 and I'll just I Still Love Heavy Metal and hard rock . .
I think I'm in the wrong class over here 🤣🤣 No one has S.O.D. 's "Speak English or Die" album on their list for best of '85. Not even in anyone's honorable mentions?!? It was definitely not a guitar virtuoso's record, but the energy of the album was palpable. As far as credibility, there isn't a "metal" musician out there that didn't hear that and instantly know that "heavier" sounding music had just taken a huge leap forward. Just my opinion.
Dude, did you omit Medusa just to get peeps like me to chirp? :P Not gonna argue with the top, one of the greats of all time for sure. Honorable mentions: KISS - Asylum. Underrated, got some classic 80's metal KISS on it. Who Want's to be Lonely, Tears are Falling and Uh! All Night. Was always more of a 'Paul' than a 'Gene' guy and really loved these tunes, can still listen today ad nauseum. Kix - Midnight Dynamite. Easily would have made my top 10, maybe even top 5. Got the title track, Cold Shower, Lie Like a Rug, Sex & the incomparable ballad Walkin' Away. Really great band and maybe their strongest release, IMO. Overkill - Feel the Fire. Great thrash debut. Rotten to the Core, Overkill and the phenomenal cover of Sonic Reducer. I suppose the criteria was studio releases and not live albums because Live After Death would have made my list. Another fun clip, thanks for sharing Bryce.
My top 10 Hard Rock / Metal Albums 10. Metal Heart (Accept) 9. Fight To Survive (White Lion) 8. Thunder In The East (Loudness) 7. Marching Out (Yngwie Malmsteen) 6. Asylum (Kiss) 5. Invasion Of Your Privacy (Ratt) 4. Under Lock And Key (Dokken) 3. 7800 Fahrenheit (Bon Jovi) 2. Theatre Of Pain (Motley Crue) 1. Soldiers Under Command (Stryper) Honorable Mentions Midnite Dynamite (Kix) World Wide Live (Scorpions) Sacred Heart (Dio) Down For The Count (Y & T) The Last Command (W.A.S.P) Walls Of Jericho (Helloween) Spreading The Disease (Anthrax) Power Of The Night (Savatage) Killing Is My Business (Megadeth) Fly On The Wall (AC/DC) Come Out And Play (Twisted Sister) Run For Cover (Gary Moore)
Good list, I love Thunder in the East, I would put Done with Mirros, Soldiers Under Command, and Theater of Pain( call me crazy, but it's my favorite Crue album).
1. Manilla Road - Open the Gates + Hallows Eve - Tales of Terror + Nasty Savage debut + Loudness - Thunder in the East 2. Saigon - One Must Die 3. Nightmare - Power of the Universe 4. Crossfire - Second Attack 5. Slayer - Hell Awaits 6. Destruction - Sentence of Death EP 7. Savatage - Power of the Night 8. Kreator - Endless Pain 9. Fates Warning - Spectre Within 10.

Nice, 1985 was a great year for metal I would add some more great albums to the list such as: Grave Digger - Witch Hunter Sinner - Touch of Sin Running Wild - Branded and Exiled Warlock - Hellbound Saxon - Innocence is no Excuse Mötley Crüe - Theatre of Pain Exciter - Long Live the Loud Accept - Metal Heart Manilla Road - Open the Gates Stormwitch - Tales of Terror And plenty more...
Great list mate. The closest to my tastes by far 🤘 the only differences i would have Savage Grace, Helloween, Virgin Steele, Lizzy Borden and Warrior. What a year for metal.
1. Dokken - Under lock and key 2. Savage - Hyperactive 3. Yngwie Malmsteen - Marching out 4. Stryper - Soldiers under command 5. Accept - Metal Heart 6. Dio - Sacred heart 7. Icon - Night of the crime 8. W.A.S.P. - The last command 9. Bathory - The Return...... 10. Vandenberg - Alibi
In my opinion you have missed two really important albums, Metal heart from Accept, and Walls of Jericho from Helloween. These two are amazing records, and had a bigger impact in that scene than some of the albums in the top
1 Exodus - Bonded By Blood 2 Anthrax - Spreading The Disease 3 Alcatrazz - Disturbing The Peace 4 Destruction - Infernal Overkill 5 Slayer - Hell Awaits 6 Y&T - Down For The Count 7 Kreator - Endless Pain 8 Kiss - Asylum 9 Loudness - Thunder In The East 10 WASP - The Last Command

@@Liam123-r8o some people only like one genre me personally I can’t stand rap but I like metal and listen to metal almost every single day but i do seitch it up from time to time
This is obviously a US Top-10 list because in 1985 the Best album for Europe at least was ACCEPT's "Metal Heart", one of the Greatest albums in History of Heavy Metal! We must not forget also the beginning of EUropean Power Metal with Helloween's debut masterpiece "Walls of Jericho"!! > P.S: 1985 Exodus-"Bonded by blood" is one of my most fav Thrash albums EVER, better than any Anthrax album! We have also "Infernal Overkill" by Destruction with one of the most famous song in Thrash History:"Bestial Invasion".
If I was doing a top ten I'd probably have Savatage and Anthrax at two and three and I'd omit Slayer entirely. Not a fan. Lot of good stuff in the honorable mentions too.

Fates Warning, The Spectre Within.
Top 5 or10or15 Best Metal Albums of 84? 86? 87? 88? 89? 90? 91? 92? 92 and 93?
This is obviously a US Top-10 list because in 1985 the Best album for Europe at least was ACCEPT's "Metal Heart",
one of the Greatest albums in History of Heavy Metal!
We must not forget also the beginning of EUropean Power Metal with Helloween's debut masterpiece "Walls of Jericho"!!

P.S: 1985 Exodus-"Bonded by blood" is one of my most fav Thrash albums EVER, better than any Anthrax album!
We have also "Infernal Overkill" by Destruction with one of the most famous song in Thrash History:"Bestial Invasion".
While I agree that "Metal Heart" was the best album, I disagree that Grim Reaper, Ynwie Malmsteen and Loudness are American.
@@independenceltd. I meant a TOP-10 list for US ears from US citizens ;)
Metal Heart
Metal Church Debut Album must be in the Top 10 😎
That came out in 1984 mate
If I was doing a top ten I'd probably have Savatage and Anthrax at two and three and I'd omit Slayer entirely. Not a fan. Lot of good stuff in the honorable mentions too.
Metal heart,invasion of your privacy,sacred heart,night of the crime,
has to be walls of Jericho by Halloween then bond By blood then Killing is my Buisness
Dokken had a very low profile in the U.K. Not even sure if many of their LP's got a U.K. release . Ratt were far bigger ! Invasion was a biggish LP
Thiers no way Wasp is ranked higher than Slayer, Anthrax & Megadeth, oh & Yngwei. I guess Chris is a better player than Yngwei. Get tf out of here!
Cry more
Dokken #1‽ JUST STOP
Why?
