I have to do it in 4, they are equal standing for me:

Van Halen - Fair Warning
Def Leppard - High n Dry
Dokken - Tooth and Nail
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
 
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
DIO - Holy Diver

Each of these albums changed everything for me.

I first heard Angle of Death at a party in the middle of winter while playing pool in a house with no heat on a transistor radio. I was trying to find something good on the air when I hit a college station. I pushed record without looking at what tape was in the machine. We would listen over and over all night long and convinced the guy who owned the radio and cassette to give us the "Traffic" cassette so we could find out who the band was!

Master came out when I lived in Hollywood, CA and some kid brought the cassette to the party. I went out and bought the cassette myself an hour later.

DIO Holy was the album that separated rock from metal. Half my friends loved it, half my freinds said it was the worst thing they ever heard, I was fucking hooked! Vivian Campbell's playing was so inspiring to me because he sounded similar to Rory Gallagher and it was how I wanted to sound, ripping. The drum sound is still my favorite all time.

Honorable mention - King Diamond "Them"

I was a DIO fanatic as well. Me and my buddy listened to all of those early albums to death, even "Sacred Heart". You have probably heard me talk about me and Robert Keeley growing up together. His Mom picked us up at school and we get in the car and drive off. All of the sudden I start hearing the beginnings of "Night People" from the Dream Evil album and she had it cranked. His Mom was a DIO fanatic!! I'd hadn't heard that song yet and I was crapping myself (even though it wasn't Viv).

We had breakfast for dinner at his house later. I swear between his Mom being into our hard rock stuff, pancakes for breakfast, and all of his guitar shit, I didn't want to go back to my own damn house....LOL

I was thinking along the same lines with your choices...Too Fast For Love just barely beats out Shout at the Devil for me as well, but man it's close! It was hard not to have Crue or Ozzy or Metallica on this short list for me. Or so many others. What a decade.
 
Helloween - Keepers of the seven keys -part II
Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time

3rd??? i don't know, maybe

any other Iron maiden album
Twisted Sister- Love is for suckers
Europe - The final countdown
 
I think a few of you mother fuckers need to go back and do yourselves a favor and listen to the Blackout album front to back...for it is STILL epic, all that detuned flanged outta tune guitar kills?
