Was gonna update my list but I see I already had enough good sense in 2017 to rank Mistreater at #2 so no need. I really ranked Frost and Fire over Killers though, eww?

Also I'd probably fit in Ozzy somewhere today.

Also wtf is this shit? Haven't heard it but I feel like it belongs based on cover art/name alone.

1. The Holocaust - The Nightcomers
2. The Mistreater - Hell's Fire
3. The Cirith Ungol - Frost and Fire
4. The Iron Maiden - Killers
5. The Saracen - Heroes, Saints & Fools
6. The Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound
7. The Motörhead - No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith
8. The Dark Star - Dark Star
9. The Girlschool - Hit and Run
10. The Saxon - Denim and Leather

Me putting Cirith Ungol in 1st was definitely retarded.
