Was anything good released in 1978? (Besides me )

 

[Cooperman]

ahhh... a fellow 78er

I think Van Halen's first album came out that year... tis a pretty good album. To be honest I can't think of any others at the moment though

[ShaneBarnes1982]

Number Of The Beast!!!

 

[Wrathchild]

Damn lucky 1982 people

Not only do you get NOTB, but also Creatures of the Night and Screaming For Vengeance!

VH's debut was a superb piece of vinyl. Spawn and Coops are indeed fortunate .

Is that the one with Eruption Wrathy?

 

[Wrathchild]

It is, and also ten other tracks filled with glam metally goodness .

I went to my public library in '86 looking for 5150 (the first album VH made with Sammy Hagar) and came home with this instead.
Soon as the riff from "Running With The Devil" came pounding out of the Toshiba tape deck I had at the time, I knew I'd chosen wisely.

I was born in 1976, and that year brings up another year, which is also the title of what can only be considered to be a masterpiece. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... 2112.

Dude 1984 was the best year ever for metal albums I think.

Also there was:
Scorpions - Love At First Sting
Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry
Quiet Riot - Condition Critical
Anthrax - Fistful Of Metal
Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith
Ratt - Out Of The Cellar
and of course W.A.S.P. - W.A.S.P.
