I don't think that I've gotten tired of listening to any of those albums, but I've owned British Steel the longest of all of them, so I guess I will give that one my vote. -------------

is it the Black album?  I know the music in my list is not your thing, you are into more eclectic and experimental music.

I own or have listened to many of the above albums numerous times, but none of them would rank among my favorites. I've got to say this though: I just listened to some AC/DC a few days ago after months since my last listen, and I keep forgetting how fun it is to listen to them every once in a while. The problem is that radio stations overplay so many bands (like AC/DC) that I want to go as far from them as possible at times whenever someone is cranking a radio on a regular basis. That has little to do with the topic, but I guess the ones I'm least sick of hearing are the Dio, Maiden, and Priest (though far from Priests best IMO). If I regularly listened to classic rock radio, I'd be pretty sick of Back In Black, but I could hear that album right now and I'd probably enjoy it. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

How did you know? 
Not necessarily, I wouldn't listen to many of the albums in the poll now but I would have definitely listened to them back in my early days. But you know it wasn't easy for a kid to get music in 90s' Romania (and early 00s). I had a Whitesnake compilation album which I loved; Scorpions I like but I didn't get to explore their 80s period; Guns'N'Roses I used to love but I only got to hear the hits, I never had an album, same for AC/DC. |

well, you're not missing much with 80s Scorpions, they became less interesting after Uli Roth left, GNR's debut album is the only worthy album of theirs (to me of course). I didn't have problems finding music, me and my friends would share a lot of music (vinyls and casettes, long before cds and internet
) so I for one couldn't complain. |

Yeah but you were older. I had to satisfy myself with what I got the on media channels (very little, that is). |

| Not extremely keen on any of those. Voted Priest, 1984 is probably my 2nd pick |

I haven't heard most of the hairy stuff, but Appetite for Destruction is a complete masterpiece and one of my all time favourites. The Beast is my second favourite I guess, but for example Dr. Feelgood might be M�tley's worst. ------------- http://iamthreepeople.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow">  <- Click on this!

Out of this list, Number of the Beast. While these are all classics, a good amount are a bit out of my taste. But yeah, Number of the Beast, bloody awesome. ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I went with "Number of the Beast", although there are a handful of other albums on that list that are among my favorites - like "Holy Diver", "British Steel", "Back in Black" and "Appetite for Destruction". I rarely stop liking music that I like, but "Slave to the Grind" is a rare example of an album that I used to like,b which I think is mostly crap now (there are still four tracks on it that I think are very good though". With "Appetite for Destruction" I found myself a couple of years ago thinking that the lyrics were a load of crap, but I still liked the music itself. So, as long as I ignore the lyrics and Axl's annoying wailing, I still enjoy listening to tha talbum. -------------

Appetite for Destruction. It�s just about the greatest hard rock/ heavy rock album I�ve ever listened to. Whenever the wife and I put it on, we�re acting like teenagers again. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| The Number has, and will, always be one of my absolute most favourites of all time. Back in Black, Appetite..., and Holy Diver are all classics as well. |

All that Motley Crue has released after Dr Feelgood is much much worse, some of it quite unlistenable for me.
