Yay... Somebody finally participated

Was wondering if my deodorant had quit working

Great choices, all but the Raven title were on the cusp of my list. Which I totally forgot about. Never been much of a Raven fan, although I do dig that one.

I had to think about it for a couple of days before I replied.

Perhaps?

My wild guess is more along what Nevermore said, "I had to think about it a couple of days"

I have thought about it (more) and I forgot a few that should've made my list rather than what I listed, oh well.

I prefer Alan Marsh to Vicki James Wright, so "Midnight Rendezvous" would be my choice for an Ep by them.

Can I borrow your stereo please

If it could play these two EP's back in the 80's, it must be killer

I forgot two Celtic Frost EP's on my particular list.

"Emperor's Return" (1985) would replace Stryper.
"Tragic Serenades" (1986) would replace Ratt.

I think 13 is just a bit big a number. I haven't heard all those in the OP.

And EP's are pretty tough for me to even remember.

I know, right, Having to take off your shoes to count that high must really suck

Especially when a lot of them got included on reissues of certain albums on CD.
It is easy for me cause I have them on vinyl

I don't think I have thirteen EP's from the 80's.

That's what makes it hard. Because if I count those, then I do have probably way more than 13. But I'd have to sift through my collection. If I go by my memory, I'll rank my absolute favourites only:

1. Savatage - The Dungeons Are Calling
2. Queensrÿche EP
3. Tokyo Blade - Madame Guillotine
4. Helloween - Mini LP
5. Impellitteri EP
6. Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua
7. Heretic - Torture Knows No Boundary
8. Overkill - Fuck You!
9. Tokyo Blade - Midnight Rendezvous
10. Lizzy Borden - Give 'Em the Axe
11. Anthrax - Armed and Dangerous
12. Forbidden - Raw Evil
13. Motörhead / Girlschool - St.Valentine's Day Massacre

I probably missed some. But those are all pretty awesome.
