1980 - heavy metal's greatest year?

1980 was surely heavy metal's finest hour (year). My 15th year on the planet produced many of the heavy metal albums which are now regarded as the classics. Of the 28 albums listed below, I managed to get hold of 20, despite still being at school. I don't think much of my dinner money was spent on food that year!

  • AC/DC - Back in Black
  • Accept - I'm a Rebel
  • Alice Cooper - Flush the Fashion
  • Angel Witch - Angel Witch
  • Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
  • Blue Öyster Cult - Cultösaurus Erectus
  • Def Leppard - On Through the Night
  • Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
  • Gamma - Gamma 2
  • Gillan - Glory Road
  • Girlschool - Demolition
  • Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
  • Judas Priest - British Steel
  • Kiss - Unmasked
  • Krokus - Metal Rendez-vous
  • Motörhead - Ace of Spades
  • Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
  • Queen - The Game
  • Rush - Permanent Waves
  • Samson - Head On
  • Saxon - Wheels of Steel
  • Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law
  • Scorpions - Animal Magnetism
  • Thin Lizzy - Chinatown
  • Tygers Of Pan Tang - Wild Cat
  • UFO - No Place to Run
  • Van Halen - Women and Children First
  • Whitesnake - Ready An' Willing

How many did you buy? (if you were even born then!)
