Is that time of the year again, and many know the drill, but just in case.

Write your top (10 minimum, no maximum if possible) list of albums, concerts, videos, for 2023.
No bashing, no hit and run comments, all lists are valid.

I post mine usually on Dec 31, but anyone who like put it before is welcome. This thread will be "sticky" until Feb 2024 and then will have its own rotation.

3) Enforcer – “ Nostalgia”
4) Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons – “Kings Of The Asylum”
5) Primal Fear – “Code Red”
6) Majesty – “Back To Attack”
7) Night Demon – “Outsider”
8) Gross Reality – “Return To Ruin”
9) Church Of Misery – “Born Under A Mad Sign”
10) Ironflame – “Compendium”
11) High Spirits – “Safe On The Other Side”
12) Gloryhammer – “Return To The Kingdom Of Fife”

i always get so lost of what even was released during the year. I should keep a list. I know the new Metallica, Peter Gabriel, Rolling Stones, Winger, Overkill, and Robin McCauley really impressed me. Just that is 6 right there. I'll look around and get back
 
maybe not my straight up order but i'd say this is my 10 favorite 2023 releases

1 rolling stones-hackney diamonds
2 peter gabriel-I/O
3 metallica- 72 seasons
4 jason bieler-postcards from the asylum
5 overkill-scorched
6 winger-seven
7 alice cooper-road
8 extreme-six
9 l.a. guns-black diamonds
10 robin mccauley- alive

i'll be honest i easily could list 10 more great albums from 2023
