Late to the party, but here's my top 10: 1. Dio - Holy Diver 2. Metallica - Kill 'Em All 3. Accept - Balls to the Wall 4. Alcatrazz - No Parole from Rock 'n' Roll 5. Black Sabbath - Born Again 6. Satan - Court in the Act 7. Raven - All for One 8. Grim Reaper - See You in Hell 9. Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon 10. Motörhead - Another Perfect Day Both Motörhead and Ozzy have weak places and could be switched with a couple handfuls of other albums. Also, I can't see that anyone else mentioned these good albums of the year: MSG - Built to Destroy, Suicidal Tendencies - Selftitled, Y&T - Mean Streak and Rainbow - Bent Out of Shape. And both Queensrÿche and Ratt had their debut EP's out.
@@Videoinvest1984 It's especially the choruses and some other elements on half the songs - Now You See It Now You Don't, Center of Eternity, So Tired and Slow Down - that don't do much for me. But I see that MSG's Built to Destroy didn't make my top 10! 2021 me was wrong on that point, that album should be no. 4. And Kill Em All should be no. 5, so that Accept and Alcatrazz goes one step up.

I remember 1983, Jr high! Metal Health, Shout at the Devil, and Pyromania were Huge...but when I by chance sat next to bobby Montgomery on the bus (only seat open), he gave me his Walkman and said listen to this....my mind was blown. ..it was Piece of mind.....it was The Trooper!

I’m from Belgium and to my shame I have to admit I’ve never heard of Acid. The brief clip you showed from Maniac sounded awesome though. Nice to see that this still gets its due appraisal by young people across the pond!
My #1 from 1983 is also my second favorite album of all time Manilla Road's Crystal Logic , refreshing to see a 1983 retrospective that doesn't have Kill Em All residing in the #1 spot I'd also agree I.M.O. Slayer released a superior album controversial to some but hey that's subjective opinion for you ....
