Steve at S&T Young did this challenge, and I came over here from his channel. Cool challenge. It seems difficult but fun. I’m going to watch your 80s Japanese video next and your 10 Thrash albums, too.

Great idea Thomas, really looking forward to see the replies you get. on top of my head: Bathory - Twilight of the Gods Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Blind Guardian - Somewhere far Beyond Camel - Rajaz Children of Bodom - Hatecrew Deathroll Concerto Moon - Rain Forest Heavens Gate - Livin' in Hysteria Iron Maiden - 7th son of a 7th son Savatage - Gutter Ballet Gamma Ray - Somewhere out in space Havukruunu - Uinuos syömein sota Helloween - the dark ride Mago de oz - Gaia .... and the list can go on and on and on..... Is X Japan - Art of Life cheating?

Very interesting topic and can't argue with some of your choices which I'd be familiar with. If I was to choose a top ten in no particular order I'd plumb for: Entombed-Left Hand Path, Obituary-Cause of Death, Unleashed-Shadows in the Deep, Cradle of Filth-The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, Dark Angel-Darkness Descends, Metallica-Master of Puppets, Finntroll-Midnattens Widunder, Gates of Ishtar-A Bloodred Path, Dimmu Borgir-Stormblåst, Immortal-Damned in Black.

Also a couple I don't necessarily agree that the title track is the best song, but it'd be boring if we were all the same! 😂 As for Twisted Sister, I've never really dug into them properly, as I love 'I Wanna Rock', but have never really been keen on 'We're Not Gonna Take It'. Maybe I should give them a real go! Cheers! 🤘

Hi Thomas!!! that's a pretty cool idea for a challenge and so cool to see usual lesser known bands.....Tubla Tanka?? not a clue, but added to the listening list. I have heard online that Realm album and for what i remember it was an excellent one. Here are a couple: Accept "Restless & Wild"; Sabbath "Heaven & Hell", Fastway "All Fired Up";Metallica "Master of Puppets"; Anthrax "Among the Living"; Dokken "Tooth and Nail"; Motorhead "Overkill"; Scorpions "Blackout"; Acid "Acid".... cheers and be well

Agree on Savatage, Chastain, Athiest, Agent Steel Disagree on Iron Maiden i'd go with the ones in brackets (Hallowed), Twisted Sister (Burn in Hell) . Never heard that Artillery, Realm or that other obscure one. I thought you were doing an update video but nomatter, i'll get thinking about a response to this topic. Good one, ive not seen this done before. Sometimes we think too hard about the topic and miss good obvious ones
