Sometimes, ya just gotta crank....

Once a month/every couple of months:

for me -

Ozzy - Blizzard
Saxon - Denim and Leather
Judas Priest - Screaming
Iron Maiden - Killers
Krokus - Headhunter
Accept - Metal Heart
Loudness - Thunder

ALL true staples of my musical journey that never lose their magic.

I've been cranking, in my car, 'Smashed Glady's ' ( Social Intercourse CD ) the last few days -

The funny thing was, at a city intersection, some lady was cutting me off, inch by inch, traffic,
I lowered my volume because I could hear her radio was even Louder - what was she listening to -
She was cranking ' Summer Breeze' by Seals and Crofts ???
At another much busier set of lights, 3 lanes, buses and trucks -
the car next to me, the male driver rolled up his windows -
the lady passenger looked over at him - and quickly looked forward again - lol -
one guy was blasting a sports radio talk show -Red Sox talk !

Fifth Angel and Leatherwolf - I'll never grow tired of hearing both Time Will Tell and Street Ready.

Oddly for me the one album would be the first pressing of Rust in Peace. I have to revisit it often. Although I would think it to be Peace Sells, since that's my favorite Deth album, but maybe it's just because I wore that one down throughout time.

Other mentions are Unleashed in the East, Uriah Heep's Sailsbury, Deep Purple's Made in Japan, and Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast. These never get old. Oh and Fear Not.

I'll agree on Killers & Blizzard

and add

Highway to Hell
Killing is my Business
Ride the Lightning
Overkill
Morbid Tales

"Let It Go" by Leppard
"Victim Of Changes" by Priest
"100,000 Years" (live) by KISS
"Steel The Light" by Q5
"Heavy Metal Rules" by Pantera
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica
"Got The Time" by Anthrax
"Bombs Of Death" by Hirax

UDO - dominator

Iron Savior - the landing

Riot - thundersteel

Iron Maiden - fear of the dark

Judas Priest - painkiller

Cool records you named guys. I like to play them too. I am going to name some more resent records because i dont like to life on the past only:
HELLOWEEN:GAMBLING WITH THE DEVIL from 2007 and a lot better than other 00s records like RABBIT DONT COME EASY or KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS 3. Other underrated 2007 records would be for me:CAUGHT IN THE ACT by STORMZONE, AS OUR ARMY CROWS by INTENSE, LUCHANDO A MUERTE by HUMA, THIS IS THIRTEEN by ANVIL, LIBRE by AZRAEL, BLOOD OF THE WARRIORS by BEZERKER, GOOHAN by WIZARD, or WAR OF THE EIGHT SAINT de STEEL ASSASSIN.
ENFORCER:DIAMONDS
SAXON:CALL FOR ARMS
IRON CURTAIN:JAGUAR SPIRIT

Good call on 2112 Toho; I throw that one on every week it seems, still not tired of it.

2112 is probably THE Desert Isle album for me. If I could only take one it would probably be that one.

Yes, i am spinning it right now and its really a amazing records. Underrated in my opinión because a lot of people never talk about this álbum and its much better then their last two albums. Great songs on it. Its not less then albums like BETTER THAN RAW or THE TIME OF THE OATH.

Very few albums are like that for me. The albums I like best I usually only play all the way through once per year; that is, unless I am really on a "kick" for a particular band.

One that does fit the bill for me though is Worlds Collide by Unruly Child. It only came out a few years ago but has since become one of my favorite albums of all time.

Sometimes I just love to crank up Flick Of The Switch! The cassette that I bought oh, those many years ago.



corplhicks, I was cranking Rust In Peace a week or so ago.


When I'm driving the mini van I dig through my cassettes and pop 'em in!

There's just something about cranking that one up loud (again, the original pressing) and allowing it to dominate you. I can't explain it. Peace Sells is a much stronger album for me, but RIP gets more spins.

Badlands- Voodoo Highway
Cinderella- Long Cold Winter
Corrosion of Conformity- Deliverance
The Dictators- Bloodbrothers
Fastway- S/T
Highway Chile- Storybook Heroes
Kings Of The Sun- Full Frontal Attack
Ratt-Out of the Cellar
Riot- Fire Down Under
Savatage- Hall of the Mountain King
Skid Row- Slave to the Grind
Trouble- S/T
and my favorite non metal band, Jason And The Scorchers- Clear Impetuous Morning

Just to name a few:

Running Wild-Fight The Fire Of Hate
Rainbow-Stargazer
Ugly Kid Joe-Everything About You
Bolt Thrower-The Fourth Crusade
Testament-Return To Serenity
Dream Theater-Pull Me Under
W.E.T.-Broken Wings
Casanova-The Hollywood Angels
Kamelot-Forever
Nevermore-Dreaming Neon Black
Dio-Rock & Roll Children
Danger Danger-F*ck You Money
Megadeth-Sweating Bullets
Judas Priest-Nightcrawler
Iced Earth-Dante's Inferno
Threshold-Slipstream
Atomic Opera-Justice
Dream Evil-Book Of Heavy Metal
Bruce Dickinson-Tears Of The Dragon
Savatage-Edge Of Thorns
Hammerfall-Dreamland
Primal Fear-Metal Is Forever
Ozzy Osbourne-Road To Nowhere
Pretty Maids-Little Drops Of Heaven
Cryonic Temple-Eternal Flames Of Metal

There are too many significant albums to mention, and I don't really do list-only posts. I just happen to spin lots of Riot, Mercyful Fate, Attacker, Manilla Road, Fates Warning, Cloven Hoof, Sodom, and Judas Priest albums. Most of their albums fail to sound dated.

Helloween-Master of The Rings
Sonata Arctica-Silence
Sigh-Imaginary Sonicscape
I always end up coming back and listening to these albums at some point.
