10. Ride the Lighting – Metallica
With Cliff Burton on the bass, the atmosphere on this album creates an absolute badass feeling. There’s no other Metallica album will ever be intense such as this one. You just know that they will take over!
9. 1984 – Van Halen
Van Halen’s album that has some of the greatest songs: Top Jimmy, House Of Pain, I’ll Wait, Jump, Panama, Drop Dead Legs, Girls Gone Bad And Hot For Teacher. Is there anything else? Well, I guess that’s all of them. Such an awesome album!
8. Moving Pictures – Rush
You would all certainly agree without hesitation that it is among their very best.
7. Hysteria – Def Leppard

Def Leppard’s record that captured the 80’s Rock N’ Roll sensation. Just plain awesome start to finish.
6. Born in the U.S.A. – Bruce Springsteen
The album that defines the 80’s. It’s hard not to include this on the list.
5. Appetite For Destruction – Guns N Roses
Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O mine, etc. Name it all. All of these are huge songs that have come off with this one album. We have heard all of these twice or more in our lives.
