Please remember that this is for classic heavy metal (1970-1990) and its sub-genres (speed, power, doom, progressive and thrash) only! Brutal thrash, death, black, and other forms of extreme metal fall outside of the scope of this thread, and if what you want to submit is heavier than Metallica then please go to >>127035992 or any other; more appropriate thread. Thank you!

>>127038393 (OP)
>not posting the superior 70’s Priest album

Bad form, OP.

Should've said traditional heavy metal ("trad metal" for short) if you wanted to avoid confusion.

>>127038411
>>127038571
Bathory is just as Thrash as they are Black Metal on that album.

>>127039400
>brutal thrash
If it’s heavier than Metallica it just doesn’t belong here.
>>127038966
That’s one of my favorite albums of all time lol, I just wanted some variety
https://youtu.be/HaiW6FNgdRc?si=2zHqLS2FD2GdyRTe

>>127039356
I thought “classic heavy metal” and saying I didn’t want black, death, or brutal thrash was clear enough but I’ll do this next time so there can’t possibly be any confusion :p
>>127038571
That’s more like it! Just prioritize deeper cuts if you can

I like Helloween

Stained Class and the two before it form arguably the most important trilogy in heavy metal after the early sabbath albums. If that was metal’s "birth", then the priest trilogy was metal’s coming of age moment.

Classic track, tripsman.

>>127043791
hell yeah! probably my favorite off the record if i'm being honest

>>127043777
Take On the World is the worst one because it was only written to be a dumb repetitive football chant and get the band some exposure.

>>127043791
hell yeah! it's probably my favorite song off the record besides the title track if i'm being honest. but here have an underrated classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJbqAi7eRek&pp=ygUWZ2Vub2NpZGUgSnVkYXMgcHJpZXN0Zw%3D%3D (unleashed in the east version because damn does the version of Genocide on there kick ass)
>>127043852
i understand where you're coming from (and I do think it's lesser than the other songs) but fuck you that song's fun

I have a confession to make. I was staying with my gf and her family (after my alcoholic parents kicked me out) and one day they all went to church...I stripped naked, except for a snake oven mitt, and ran around the house singing to Sinner by Judas Priest, pretending millions were cheering me as I dangled my wang and moved the 'snake''s mouth...at the bit where I jumped over the sofa screaming "GOD OF THE DEVILS, GOD OF THE DEVILS" my gf's dad walked back in to get his wife's phone. Suffice to say, I had to move into my friend's parents' caravan.

Not music. Vinyl or GTFO.

not necessarily bad but they lost some of what made them unique in the 70s. although in fairness that was already happening at the end of ozzy's run.

They BOTH are...I just wish they'd dropped Before The Dawn and replaced it with a ballad called ">>127044087 Is Gay"...!

aww man I really like before the dawn, it has a great melody and halford sings wonderfully on it :(

It feels like your mum's just barged into your bedroom, yanked 'Killing Machine' off the stereo and put on Bryan Adams instead.

>>127044225
Oh it does, but it's a good song in its own right. My problem with Evil Fantasies is just that I thought it was kind of boring. Had a good stomp to it but that's all I really got out of that one :p

Evening Star is the worst track on it. The song is actually pretty good but then the chorus comes in and it's fucking horrendous. Worse than Iron Maiden's Invaders.

I like buying tapes of 80s albums. Even though I know people didn't really listen to studio albums on tape that much, it just fits the tone for me, and I like the way they sound. The store didn't have it tape though

Why is there so much hate for Ram It Down? Johnny B Goode is awful, true, but the rest of it is great.

>>127052206
off my memory it's just not that good. songwriting quality was inconsistent, too much leftover glam from turbo like love zone, and the drum machine sucked plenty of life out of the record. it's an album that didn't know what it wanted to be :1

I assume anon's list was ironic. But whatever, Living After Midnight is still a banger.

We turn and face each other
My fingers pull your hair
You wince and jerk my wrist off
I bite my lip and stare
Your stance at once defiant
I'm rigid to your pose
You clench your teeth in anger
My loving swells and grows
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
You're dragged into my vision
Trapped, serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
You slide your nails down in me
I raise my structure high
You pout, I snarl, you whimper
And wave compassion 'bye (ohhh)
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
A, give me evil
Gonna take you, wanna get through
Gonna make you do what I want
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
You're dragged into my vision
Trapped, serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
C'mon, evil. Yeah! You give me evil, evil fantasies
C'mon! You evil. Yeah! Gimme, gimme, gimme fantasies
I want it, you got it, those evil fantasies
Oh, you need it! I'm gonna give it!
Give it, give it, give it fantasy-ohhh!
C'mon and get it, get it! Fantasies...
