I put The Nightcomers on my list. It rules.

I changed my mind about doing only 5.
- Venom - Welcome to Hell
- Iron Maiden - Killers
- Saracen - Heroes, Saints And Fools
- Holocaust- The Nightcomers
- Cirith Ungol - Frost and Fire
- Girlschool - Hit and Run
- Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman
- Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju
- Black Flag - Damaged
- Discharge - Why

The Holocaust are great. I also really like The Venom and The Iron Maiden.

I'm aware this is a metal thread. That's why those albums didn't make it higher on my list, for the obvious handicap of not being metal.
I'll remove those three albums from the bottom of my list when Slammed removes his three from the top of his list.
I was just blindly going off of Spotify, which apparently thinks the band name is spelled with a "The." Not that that's much of an excuse, since the album cover and the rym page both say "Holocaust." Maybe I don't have heavy metal music in my blood after all.

Then why put them in a 'Top metal albums of x year' list when they aren't metal? We gave that one dude shit for listing AC/DC and went on for a page about how it's not metal but yet punk albums are okay to list? At least AC/DC toes the line unlike the punk albums you listed (unsure about the Discharge album, but that Black Flag album certainly isn't anywhere close to metal).
@no country for old wainds what say you?

I'll remove them if @no country for old wainds says to. I put those albums on my list mainly to get him to put his foot down and give a definitive answer on the matter.

haha too bad that song is more like a heavy metal disco. One of my least favorites from the album.

Gee you people don't like to let things go do you. Don't like my list, vote it out with your own, it's a single person's vote against the thousands and thousands who have voted.
FWIW (and I don't care that it's worth nothing to the elite), when it came to METAL releases of 1981 I looked at the "METAL RELEASES 1981" wiki page and selected the albums I was listening to and own from those pages because the links in the OP did not show all the releases from that year. Don't like the way wiki defines metal take it up with them...or maybe...I don't know...get over it!
