I listened to both today for direct comparison, and although Thundersteel is outstanding (and I'd prefer to include them both in my listThe Sentinel wrote:Thundersteel is an awesome album but The Privilege of Power has the track "Black Leather and Glittering Steel", one of the best metaltunes in existence, pure magic!!!!!!!
) I still hold Privilege of Power a little bit higher, a real masterpiece for me. I even dig that horn section, this is the little extra, that makes it so special!Down there in the Darkness

Seems there's lots more US metal I need to hear, like Heir Apparent for example. I don't think I ever heard them.
It's just that I am somewhat sceptical towards US metal at times. I love the epic and/or quirky stuff like Manilla Road, Brocas Helm or Cirith Ungol, as well as the stuff with the slightly progressive element to it, like Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, Queensrÿche or Savatage. But if it's just straight US power metal with high pitch vocals, like Helstar, Liege Lord or Attacker, I get easily bored.

Mordred i get what u mean about Attacker Helstar etc
there's another factor to consider about this,the 83-6 US metal (maiden/priest influences,more 'pure stuff) and the 87-90 US metal -much more distortion and technicality goes into it
since you mentioned helstar,the differences between burning star and nosferatu are a prime example of what i'm talking about

looking through all the lists i would sound repetitive in almost all my top 20...still i can mention my latest US playlists:
Lethal-Programmed
Bitch-Be my Slave
Tyrant-Too late to Pray
Militia-The Sybling
Leather Nunn-Take the Night
Chozzen Phate-everything from them, just perfect
Ruthless-Metal without Mercy
Culprit-Guilty as Charged
and talking about RIOT,just as most of you, THUNDERSTEEL is my all time favorite album from them, but im starting to develope a weird addiction towards FIRE DOWN UNDER

My favorite Riot albums are FDU and Inishmore. Thundersteel wouldn't even make the top 5!
Some favorites to add, most of mine have been mentioned already:
Beowulf - Slice of Life
Metal Church - Live
Trouble - s/t
and I doubt this one is allowed, although it has many "inherited" American characteristics:
Motorhead - Bastards

years since i listen to that Motorhead album, i thought me and my brother were the only ones that thought of "bastards" as the most "heavy" material from Lemmy and co. cheerz for that!
