Yes kiamat. But Saxon has thier share of bad LPs....Out of 18 studio albums...there are 4 albums that are Saxon's worst.........1984 "Crusader" where the only song that is worthy is "Crusader"...the rest just are throw away tracks.

Then ya have 1985 "Innocense Is No Excuse"...terrible!      1986 "Rock The Nations"...yuk!      1988  "Destiny"....yuk!  Those 4 albums are terrible Saxon albums.

Then you have 2 albums that are "half" good and half bad just like "Ram It Down is"......1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" and 1992 "Forever Free"......half of these 2 LPs are cool,the other halfs are not.

But the other 12 Saxon albums in the band's career are great albums.

		Like all the best bands, I've thought it through and cannot pick a favourite album. Saxon have changed through the years but they've kept that essential.... Saxoness? so well, its too hard to choose between them.      J.D. DIAMOND wrote: Yeah Phantom, Power & The Glory is a great old school Saxon record for sure. Lionheart 2004 is Saxon's best work in my opinion,every heavy metal fan should OWN this album!!! This album is every bit as good as Screaming For Vengeance,The Number Of The Beast,Ace Of Spades,Mob Rules.........      Phantom A6 wrote: One of their best albums!!      J.D.

		I JUST GOT STRONG ARM OF THE LAW ON VINYL!! Last week my Dad and I were walking past this old music shop in town, somewhere I must have gone past hundreds of times but never been in (my mother always sniffs and makes comments to the effect of 'Everything in there is stolen'). Anyhow it was like being four and walking into a giant sweet shop- piles of records everywhere and all about £3-4 each. I got a few others and the guy at the till was like 'yeah we've got a pile of rock records just in in that box you haven't looked at' and I was like 'I know, but I've only got fifteen quid!' It sounds amazing, no scratches or anything. And of course the music is brilliant.      J.D. DIAMOND wrote: SAXON        STRONG ARM OF THE LAW          1981

Yeah Phantom,I'm not saying he is the best drummer or anything,but he is pretty good and most important...he fits with Saxon so well...

his first appearance with Saxon was in 1981 when Pete Gill was injured and Nigel replaced him on the Denim & Leather tour.His first album with Saxon was 1983's "Power And The Glory" album. He left Saxon in 1998 after the Unleash The Beast album,but came back in 2006 and has been with Saxon ever since.

You should stay away from "Saxon" ...as they are probably "too heavy" for you to listen to little guy.LMFAO!!!
