Awesome Saxon ranking, John! I'm a bit surprised that their newer albums were in your top 5. I would've expected their older albums to be in there.

This is one of the few classic bands where I like their newer stuff better.

The new Saxon albums are killer! Can't go wrong with Denim and Leather at №1! 🤘🏼🍻

I agree. I think they got better with age.

Great Saxon album ranking John! Damn they have a lot of albums!! Since the new one came out I've wanted to try them out, but had no clue where to start! So this video definitely helps there! I'll probably try the new one first, then the first couple of albums, and maybe the most newer ones. Cheers! 😊🤘🏻

I think the latest album is not a bad place to start. This is one of the few old bands where I like their newer stuff better, with a few exceptions of course.

@jcrockandmetalreviews Nice that's cool, I'll definitely start with the newest one and see where I go from there. Ahh yeah, that's interesting. Normally it's the other way around, but I'm the same with Death Angel! Minus the debut I much prefer the later albums. Interesting indeed 😊🤘🏻

Excellent ranking, mostly agree, I definitely like a lot of the Post 2000 albums. Our bottom 5 are very similar.

That's a really good ranking. 1. Strong Arm of The Law (1980) 2. Denim and Leather (1981) 3. Wheels of Steel (1980) 4. Sacrifice (2013) 5. Lionheart (2004) 6. Hell, Fire and Damnation (2024) 7. Carpe Diem (2022) 8. Power & the Glory (1983) 9. Into the Labyrinth (2009) 10. Unleash The Beast (1997) 11. Battering Ram (2015) 12. The Inner Sanctum (2007) 13. Thunderbolt (2018) 14. Metalhead (1999) 15. Call to Arms (2011) 16. Killing Ground (2001) 17. Crusader (1984) 18. Dogs of War (1995) 19. Solid Ball of Rock (1991) 20. Innocence is No Excuse (1985) 21. Forever Free (1992) 22. Saxon (1979) 23. Rock The Nations (1986) 24. Destiny (1988) To be honest, I could probably rank 4 thru 14 differently on any given Sunday.

I agree with that ranking. That early 80s period was solid.

@ericmiller5603 2 ай бұрын

I don’t think I’d change a thing:). My three favorite Saxon tracks are “Crusader,” “Princess of the Night” and “747: Strangers in the Night.” “Thunderbolt” and “Battering Ram” are killer albums!

Yeah that's awesome. They have some great albums that came out in the last few years.

Denim and Leather, brought us all together 👍 Top 10:’ 1. Denim and Leather 2. Hell, Fire And Damnation 3. Lionheart 4. Strong Arm Of The Law 5. Metalhead 6. Carpe Diem 7. Wheels Of Steel 8. Thunderbolt 9. The Inner Sanctum 10. Battering Ram Other tidbits (opinions): Heaviest album: Metalhead Most Overlooked: Killing Ground Most Overrated: Power And The Glory Best Artwork: Crusader

Awesome top 10. I agree. Power and Glory is a little overrated. I ranked it higher than I did last time though.

Good video. I've only been listening to Saxon for a few weeks so my opinion isn't worth much but this is how I'd rank them based on my early impressions: *From Favorite to Least Favorite* Into the Labyrinth (2009) The Inner Sanctum (2007) Dogs of War (1995) Denim and Leather (1981) Carpe Diem (2022) Thunderbolt (2018) Killing Ground (2001) Call to Arms (2011) Hell, Fire and Damnation (2024) Power & the Glory (1983) Battering Ram (2015) Unleash the Beast (1997) Wheels of Steel (1980) Strong Arm of the Law (1980) Rock the Nations (1986) Saxon (1979) Sacrifice (2013) Lionheart (2004) Innocence Is No Excuse (1985) Forever Free (1992) Solid Ball of Rock (1991) Crusader (1984) Metalhead (1999) Destiny (1988) The two Inspirations albums would likely make my top ten if I included them. Big fan of both of them. Some albums fell on my list due to production values.

Well, I am with you a bit, but GLAM METAL was in the seventies! Saxon never played that sort of music! Please listen to glam! I mean The Sweet and Bolan etc???

I was referring to the metal of the 80s with bands like ratt and warrant and poison and Bon Jovi some call it hair metal some called a glam metal I just went with the latter.
