SURVEY TIME (1983)

[RJhog (Admin)]

It's time for another survey.  This time I'd like to know which album that was released in 1983 can you not live without.  If you want to list some honorable mentions from 1983, go right ahead.  However, please make sure that you state exactly what your favorite album from 1983 is.  Genre does not matter at all.

I left off Night Ranger - Midnight Madness, that was a big one for me in 83.

[Mike Mills]

Oops. REM, not REN.

[RJhog (Admin)]

I thought that was some underrated band I have never heard of...

 

I'll tell you guys why I'm doing this later on, but for now, I'm thinking "Z" for Mike M.

Jon, you named some more good one's! I'm familiar with all of those except, Accept. 90125, is an excellent album, with a lot of hidden gems. The Bryan Adams Scott mentioned, was very good as well. I'm sure we could go on, 1983 was a Great year for music!

[Niels (Mod)]

IMO 1983 was kind of a "weak" year, especially compared to 1981.

 

But a few more albums:

Dio : Holy Diver

Black Sabbath: Born Again

Uriah Heep: Head First

Rainbow: Bent Out of Shape

KISS: Lick It Up

Cheap Trick: Next Posision Please

[Mike Mills]

You had to be the first one to mention Kiss, didn't you?

[Jon]

Need to add

Thin Lizzy--Thunder And Lightning

[Niels (Mod)]

Pyromania.

[Jon]

I forgot something and now I'm in a bind.

Raven--All For One

or

Metallica--Kill 'em All

Hmm...I'm going to have to change my pick for album I cannot live without to.................

Raven--All For One

Put it in the books!
