So which one's the one you don't own?

The only one I own - currently - Thundersteel - Riot.
I’ve heard the others mentioned on threads, of course.

I only own three on that list (Crimson Glory, HittMan and Liege Lord). I guess I'm a poser. Very Happy

The Fortress album is the only one I'm missing.

I own King of the Dead and The Spectre Within - I just recently purchased the latter, but the former I absolutely love.

I own The Spectre Within and will own King of the Dead one day. It's on my ever growing list of C.D's/Vinyl!

Metal is Forever Number of posts : 9939 Age : 49

I own about eight of those, Thundersteel being my top favourite from the list. Hittman is also highly recommended.

Some very good albums on that list. Fates Warning, Riot, and Manilla Road in particular.

Helstar deserved an entry on the list, though.

Good read. I have 7 off the list and 3 are absolute desert island discs for me (Fates, Fifth, and Hittman)

I have (or had) four of those, so while I'm still in poser territory, I'm one more metal than you. Razz

Wow, I don't think I've listened to 90% of those in full. I'll make it a point to do so in the next few weeks!

I definitely recommend the Hittman, If you grab it on vinyl get the version that comes with their demo EP.

I’ve got 4 of those releases, ain’t I cool?! Lol!

Hittman was re-released by greek metal label No Remorse Records. This is where i got my cd from.

Excellent job headbanger

.

This label is known to re-release lots of out of print albums.

Yeah, they do a heck of a job. My vinyl is from them, but my original discs are from Steamhammer label. I got my eye on their Panther EP and I know I have a few more titles they have re released in my collection. I have been impressed with Divebonb as well the last few years as I get the feeling they put out a nice product for the money.

I have five on that list, plus I downloaded one. So technically I have six I guess lol

That Panther album is very good. I own it on cd.

I have picked up tons of their re-releases during the last few years.

F it.
I had the Panther cassette many many moons ago.
I do think Soto is a tremendous singer.
In fact, I hated Malmsteen for not keeping him.
It went downhill for Malmsteen from there.
To me....Malmsteen became a showboat act - like a divorcee remarrying 3-4 times.
Soto could of brought Malmsteen to VH status.
But as we all know ....Malmsteen is a total egotist. Way worse that David Lee Roth.
Soto deserves praise - in the Metal archives - for sure.
