14. Manowar --- Battle Hymns --- (1982)

There are better Manowar albums, sure, but if you want to hear where it all began you need to check this out. Exploding onto the scene in 1982 Manowar upped and changed the game, with an ethos that spat "death to False Metal!" and an iron-studded fist challenge to the real metal bands to stand up and be counted. Look at that album cover! A big, tough, don't-****-with-me eagle that screams to be flying on a standard above the massed hordes of the metal armies, blood and gore spraying everywhere, the metal warriors laughing as they kill, laughing as they die, while fire streaks the air and the sound of insane riffage pounds across the battlefield.

Death to False Metal! Into Glory Ride!
