I think that most of these have been mentioned already. They are amongst my favourites, but I'm sure there are loads and loads that could be mentioned. I think most are considered groundbreaking, or broke the band, or are considered 'classics' of their time. In no particular order -
Wheels Of Steel - Saxon.
Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden.
Holy Diver - Dio.
Ride The Lightening - Metallica.
Blizzard Of Oz - Blizzard Of Oz.
Back In Black - AC/DC.
Balls To The Wall - Accept.
British Steel - Judas Priest.
Welcome To Hell - Venom.
Filth Hounds Of Hades - Tank.
Wheels Of Steel - Saxon.
Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden.
Holy Diver - Dio.
Ride The Lightening - Metallica.
Blizzard Of Oz - Blizzard Of Oz.
Back In Black - AC/DC.
Balls To The Wall - Accept.
British Steel - Judas Priest.
Welcome To Hell - Venom.
Filth Hounds Of Hades - Tank.

anyone ever heard the original 'Set me free' by the sweet? is it any good? (sorry 4 being off topic guys)
I've heard it and it's not nearly as good as the Saxonized version, more poppy sounding the sweet version
