Like Motorhead, I group their albums in sixes. Saxon - Crusader - Britain (sailing to America!) Innocence - Dogs - Usa west and then south (walking through Tokyo!) Beast - Labyrinth - Euro Arms - Damnation - World? idk I'm old so love the first 3, but their 21st century run is exceptional.

In 1984 I owned a Yamaha RD350LC. Bar the odd session, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on. In livery of white and red, with Rush’s Red Barchetta in my head, I screamed through the country lanes. When you opened the taps and it came on song, the front wheel lifted and it felt like...

Their best record and a genre great.

Never understood the hype for Firepower. Four strong songs start each side of vinyl; Firepower, Heroes, Ruins, Gate, the rest mediocre. My least favorite of the reunion, Shield destroys it. No. 4? Harris/Faulkner bias? IDK.:confused:

Never gelled with me. A lousy production hampers the strong stuff whilst weaklings perish. Possibly my least favorite of the '70's.

#1 in the '70's, top 5 overall.

Getting Sn after Unleashed it felt weak, but now I enjoy its whimsy. #2 in the '70's.

I thought Panic Attack was about governmental psyops on civilian populations but what do I know?

Production by Guthrie, who totally outshone Mackay on the dull sounding Stained Class, making for an enjoyable half hour. Got it 3rd favorite in the '70's

I prefer every album ranked below this. 3-4 good songs, the rest dire.

Ditch plodding Prophecy and pointless Conquest, add Alone and the hilarious title track and you've got an excellent 1st disc. The rest's okay, but to start with the most boring track and insist on playing it live, doomed.

I like Redeemer alot, more than Firepower, less than Shield. Dragonaught(on vinyl sleeve back and inner) or Dragonaut(on label and sleeve lyrics)?

It’s no slur on Faulkner, he’s an excellent player whose writing and playing on the last three records have been exceptional. Live he’s the main focus besides Halford and works hard. He maybe a more technically proficient player than KK. But it’s not about technical ability for me, it’s...

I was one foot out of the door after Turbo, Johnny B Goode had me running for the border, so I picked this up cheap late '90 after Painkiller. It's got some lesser songs but I think I prefer it to its successor. Title of each are even to me. Iron> Meltdown, Skies better than anything else pk...

Judas Priest/Saxon/Uriah Heep 21/3/24 I don’t, and probably never will own any Uriah Heep material, but they were great fun. An excellent opener, sounded great. Might buy a keyboard just to bash my elbows on it. Saxon is why I’m here. Loved and left them twice since ‘80, now it’s ‘til death...
