So here it starts with my own albums as usually unranked:

Before  (DK)  -  A Wish of Life  (1982) 

Celtic Frost  (CH)  -  “Into The Pandemonium”  (1987)

Cowboy Junkies  (CAN)  -  Whites off Earth Now  (1986)

Lady Pank  (PL)  -  Lady Pank   (1983)

Maanam  (PL)  -  Nocny Patrol   (1984)

Mercyful Fate  (DK)  -  Melissa   (1983) 

Metallica  (USA)  -  Master Of Puppets   (1986)

Sinead O'Connor  (IRL)  -  The Lion and The Cobra  (1987)

some additional
