I've said it before, but in my opinon, 1981 was a GREAT year to buy "new" records, because so many of the albums, that was released that year, are still some of the best rock-albums ever released. And there were so many, that I have to appologize in advance, because I have 11 numbers on my list, even though it has to be 10, but I PROMISE, it won't happen again in the future, but this time, there were no other way for me. All of these records mean so much to me!! 8 of the 11 albums, I bought around the time, they were released, so I've lived with these albums since I was 16 years old. I've heard before, that the music you listen to when you're around 14-16 years old, you will allways tressure. It's true in my case.
These are the tracks that I have choosen from my favorite 1981-albums:
1. Can't happen here - RAINBOW (Album - Difficult to cure)
2. Mirror, Mirror (Look into my eyes) - DEF LEPPARD (Album - High'n'Dry)
3. Voodoo - BLACK SABBATH (Album - Mob Rules)
4. Diary of a Madman - OZZY OSBOURNE (Album - Diary of a Madman)
5. Outlaw - RIOT (Album - Fire Down Under)
6. With a shout - U2 (Album - October)
7. Murders in the Rue Morgue - IRON MAIDEN (Album - Killers)
8. Witch Hunt - RUSH (Album - Moving pictures)
9. I'm gonna win - FOREIGNER (Album - 4)
10. Dirty Movies - VAN HALEN (Album - Fair Warning)
11. On the run - JUDAS PRIEST (Album - Point of entry)
I hope you will take a listen to my list here:
