Best Albums Of '79

Post by Avenger »

I think it's safe to say that the '78 thread has run out of steam so let's move on...

The Hand Of Doom - Poisonoise.
Thin Lizzy - Black Rose
Riot - Narita
Judas Priest - Unleashed In The Studio
Motörhead - Bomber & Overkill
Legend - From The Fjords

It seems like there were less albums in 1979 and more demo's/EP's.

In the hard-rock category, 1979 was the year ACDC released "Highway to Hell" ...

Of the full-length stuff, I agree with Legend, Hand of Doom, Survivor and Nokemono, apart from the obvious pieces. A few more good ones bordering on metal are:

Doc Rockit - s/t
Impeccable - Live on the rocks
Blackhorse - s/t (pretty heavy southern rock album)
Poobah - Steam roller (Yeah, it's uneven, but still good)
I know I ain't doing much,
doing nothing means a lot to me.

Yup, some excellent albums put forward already, i'd have to add these two, although they come from more of a Hard Rock direction than full on Heavy Metal.
BLACKFOOT - Strikes
AMULET - Amulet
