I love SitN, but I think live albums shouldn't be on these kinds of lists. More power to you if you disagree. And I'm not sure I'd pick it over AC/DC and Floyd in this case anyways.

Agree with the live album take ..

 

.. and VH II would add to the difficulty choosing here

It would knock Floyd off my list. :)

[Lucas]

TK, you put on VHII ... How about adding Thin Lizzy's Black Rose and making this poll impossible ??

 

;)

[Super25Smasher]

London Calling and Lovedrive

[Narps]

Strangers twice....

[Permanent-Rush]

DREAM POLICE AND RUSH THROUGH TIME

 

Hehehehehehehehe :P

[greyfriar]

Michael Schenker

This

[greyfriar]

Not on the list, but killer albums...

 

Rory Gallagher - Top Priority

R.E.O. Speedwagon - Nine Lives

[ozzy85]

Such a great year so thick with good music.

 

Went with Motorhead and the Scorps. :haz:

 

Floyd and VH are very worthy.

[jamie]

The Wall for sure!

[The Analog Cub]

The Wall and Highway To Hell and it isn't really close with the other ones in the list IMO.

[goose]

The Wall and Highway To Hell and it isn't really close with the other ones in the list IMO.

Agreed.

[Chronos]

Two of my faves from that year are BOC's Mirrors and Tull's Stormwatch.

[78jazz]

From this list, only Overkill would get my vote.

 

As one poster referenced as being released from the year in the OP, Reggatta de Blanc might take the cake. I can't believe I forgot about Damn the Torpedoes and the Long Run. I also need to check out The Fine Art of Surfacing as well.
