Van Halen releasing 1984 is enough for me to say it was one of the greatest years in music.

I wouldn't expect you too. Those who are celebrating 1984 for the most part were impressionable young teens at the time. There was a burgeoning metal scene going on with what I felt was a pretty decent pop scene. Like I stated earlier, I was just getting into metal the year previous, but I still liked pop. I hate even calling music on the radio back then pop, because I feel the pop of today has what I consider the worst negative connotation imaginable. I would say that there was a far better chance that your average metal head also was into radio/pop driven music to some extent back in the 80's compared to what you would find out today. The reason for that is, many of the pop acts back then were musicians, whereas today they are singers/performers. For the most part, I can't stand pop music, and it's because we live in the American Idol generation. The supposed pop stars of today seem so very limited these days. If they pen some lyrics on a piece of paper, they're considered a musician. Please!

That's the year it all started for me and I haven't been the same since! My parents bought me a "ghetto blaster" for my birthday. That weekend I had $ and needed a tape to play so my brother told me to get VH's 1984. From there I was buying Hit Parader and discovering stuff I had to hear. I remember 1984 and some of the first albums I ever bought:

VH-1984
Sammy Hagar-VOA
KISS-Animalize
Twisted Sister-Stay Hungry
AC/DC-'74 Jailbreak


My favorite memory from that year was sitting in class(3rd grade) looking at Hit Parader and these were the days of WASP covered in blood holding skulls,Motley Crue in the Shout At The Devil pentagrams, covered in blood and all that glory,etc. and my teacher taking it from me, looking at all this, and saying do your parents know you have this? To which I reply Yeah they bought it for me! I think she just wrote me off after that day. Over the years that teacher would occasionaly run into my mother and always asked about my brother but never about me. I was probably a lost cause to her and just forgotten about.

It was metal from the start for me and I've never looked back or taken any interest in pop music, culture,etc. I've never had interest in the radio either as I always had my own music to listen to and that stuff don't get airplay.

This year was indeed a very fine year. I still have most, if not all records mentioned, on vinyl downstairs. I also graduated high school in 1984.

We're getting old indeed birthday . Heavy metal is really wonderful. All these old albums are still spinning!!! This is what makes metal so unique. No other musical genre can last that much.

One album I didn't see mentioned in this thread, though, is Fates Warning - Night on Bröcken. Very underrated album.

Unfortunately, all of these albums by-passed me in 1984. I had to play catch-up few years later. But judging from those releases, it was indeed a good year for the genre.

Motorhead - No Remorse.

Of course this is partially a compilation album, but it's also the debut of the 2 guitar lineup and introduced such killer tracks as "Killed By Death", "Steal Your Face" & "Snaggletooth" into the Motorhead lexicon.

You could pick just about any year between 1973 and 1989 and ya couldnt go wrong. IMO the golden age of metal.

I remember that!!! Sadly it took me about 20 years to discover the genius of this band. Better late than never.

Awesome year indeed!!! Ironically, as I read through this thread, I am listening to "Wasted Years" from a Maiden tribute I picked up (Dee Snider singing and George Lynch on Lead Guitar) and I am feeling a tad nostalgic. Let's all raise our bottles to 1984. humble

Yep I bought the whole list mentioned above as new releases too with the exception of Stryper. Didn't like them then still don't but the rest of are still played around my house regularly. 1980- 1988 was a great time for metal music, lots of great concerts during those years too

Saw them on that tour but I saw them in 1985 with Giuffria as the opening act, the best concert I have ever seen, Deep Purple kicked ass.

I think that was the year that early Scandinavian and Euro metal really took off. Not only Yngwie's Rising Force, but lots of others like Oz and Overdrive and maybe Sortilege(?). Lots of others too.

You're right. Nobody is spinning those old Dizzie Gilesbie albums any longer. And The Beatles stopped selling albums in 1971. And have any of you guys even heeard of Beethoven?

I personally think that the period from 83-85 were the best years in metal.......86 was good too.

83-85 you have.......
Fates Warning: The Specter Within-My favorite Fate's album and Night On Brocken-a classic Metal album

Possessed: Seven Churches-The best Death Metal album of all time

Slayer: Show No Mercy, Haunting The Chapel, Hell Awaits-one of the best Speed Metal albums, one of the best EPs and the best Thrash album

Metallica: Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning-the defining moments for this band

Exodus: Bonded By Blood-a classic Thrash album

Sacrifice: Torment In Fire-another classic Thrash album

Accept: Restless And Wild-A classic, Accept's best

Helloween S/T: one of the best Eps

Sepultura: Bestial Devastation-THE best EP

Destruction: Sentence Of Death-another classic EP

Sodom: In The Sign Of Evil-yet another classic EP

Bathory: S/T and the Return-two defining moments for extreme Metal

Celtic Frost: Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion-no need to explain these

Other mentions Hallows Eve "Tales Of Terror", Stormwitch "Tales Of Terror", Anvil "Forged In Fire", Anthrax "Fistful Of Metal", Megadeth "Killing Is My Buisness", Motley Crue "Shout At The Devil", Savatage "Sirens", "The Dungeons Are Calling" and "Power Of The Night", Dark Angel, Kreator, Hellhammer....the list goes on.

86 was also good, with "Reign In Blood", "The Force", "Under The Sign Of The Black Mark", "Darkness Descends", "Pleasure To Kill", etc. etc.

Wasn't Beethoven that dog or something? Certainly nothing to do with music though.
