At this point, listing every single heavy metal release would be nearly impossible as the scene had EXPLODED by this time. So I am just listing the most popular albums, or at least the albums that I remember from that era. Of course the BIG album of that year was Quiet Riot's Metal Health that broke open the doors for heavy metal on the radio and charts. Many of the old 70's bands that had struggled with their identity in the first couple years of the 80's saw inspiration in Quiet Riot and attempted to regain their status as hard rocking bands. Blackfoot openly admit that Metal Health was a huge influence on the direction they took in the years that followed. Thin Lizzy with the help of ex-Tygers of Pan Tang axeman John Sykes recorded their most vicious album to date. Kiss took off the make-up and experienced new life and new popularity. This was also the year that THRASH METAL began to make it's mark with the monumental releases of "Kill 'Em All" and "Show No Mercy".

Let me know what releases are missing from this list.

AC/DC - Flick of the Switch
Accept - Balls to the Wall
Alcatrazz - No Parole From Rock N' Roll
Alice Cooper - DaDa
Anvil - Forged in Fire

Culprit - Guilty As Charged
Def Leppard - Pyromania

Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac

Fastway - Fastway
Girlschool - Play Dirty
Hanoi Rocks - Self-Destruction Blues

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

KISS - Lick It Up
Kix - Cool Kids
Krokus - Headhunter
Loudness - Law of Devil's Land
Manowar - Into Glory Ride
Mercyful Fate - Melissa

I wanted to vote for Raven this year. Well, as my fav anyway, Kill 'em All was the game changer, plus Mercyful Fate was more state of the art.

Hey , it looks like I'm the first one to cast a vote. I went with Motley Crue. It was the soundtrack of 1983.

I didn't even have to look at the other choices... I just went straight to Metallica's KILL'EM ALL. Nothin' against the other bands/albums on the list (and I do own/love a lot of them now that I've looked) but it was really no contest. KILL'EM ALL was a game changer.

I have to agree with you, this album was a definite game changer,as was IMO 'Pyromania' and 'Metal Health' for different reasons of course, but back in 1983 if you would have told me Metallica would be not only the most successful metal band to emerge out of the 80's but would become one of the best selling recording artist in history I would have accussed you of smoking too much pot.

Hey Ult, if I'm not mistaken, W.A.S.P. released their outstanding debut album in 1983.

I went with Holy Diver...but could just as easily have picked Show No Mercy, Balls To The Wall, Piece Of Mind, or Pyromania...

But then there's Kill 'Em All...Melissa...Lick It Up...Queensryche......man what a year!

Like the 82' poll. I went back to what I enjoyed the most back then, as opposed to what I think is better now. My vote again goes to Krokus.

Man, what a killer year !

I thought about a few others, but yea, Kill 'Em All re-invented the wheel here.

I'm an Ian Gillan fanboy, so I love Born Again. It's so stinkin' heavy and Gillan's vocals are otherworldly! I also saw Sabbath for the first time on this tour, so that may color my opinion as well. Trashed, Disturbing the Priest, Zero the Hero, Digital Bi+ch, Hot Line...it's all great IMO.

Does have one of the WORST covers ever IMO. Spinal Tap stuff there for sure.

I went with Piece Of Mind from the options. Saxon - Power and the Glory would be my pick from that year.

And that Sabbath album is/was amazing.

Can't vote, as except for 3 albums, the others are perfect and I love them all.
Can't count how many times I played them, and STILL play them.

yes, Raven should be on the list.
Also missing is
