Again, this list was inspired by a Facebook post that circulated a little while ago. Instead of doing a dozen albums that have stuck with me, I've decided to break it down by sub-genre to create a more extensive set of lists. This one features classic rock, classic metal, and hair metal. Sticking with the original rule, I've only included one album per artist.
1. Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
2. Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
3. Alice Cooper - Love It To Death
4. Dio - Holy Diver
5. The Doors - The Doors
6. Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
7. Skid Row - Skid Row
8. W.A.S.P. - The Last Command
9. L.A. Guns - Cocked And Loaded
10. Cinderella - Night Songs
11. Faster Pussycat - Faster Pussycat
12. Ratt - Out Of The Cellar
