Good to hear your thoughts Darcy and not an easy ranking to do. Yeah the new album is very strong and it was interesting to see it so high in the ranking. The top 3 can't be beat, absolute classics. Sacrifice is still one of my favourites. Good to see power and the glory up there, a bit of an underrated album. Destiny is not as bad as people make it out to be, a very good "hair/glam metal" album imo.

Man, re-ranking your Saxon albums must be quite difficult. But, you're new Saxon ranking is top-notch Darcy!

My old band ( KING LOUIS ) Opened for SAXON on the last part of the UK tour of 1921 or 92. Ended up at the Marquee cLUB London. nice guys. Si.

My first ever gig was Saxon at the Apollo in Glasgow in the early 80's! They blew my mind then and they still blow my mind now!! Great ranking Darcy!!

Pretty much the exact same as I'd rank them , the only difference is I have Unleash The Beast in my top 5, I think it's amazing, Circle Of Light is one of my favorite metal songs ever. And I'd have Destiny at 24, other than that I fully agree. I'm seeing them next Month with Uriah Heep.

Great ranking: 1. Strong Arm of the Law 2. Wheels of Steel 3. Crusader 4. Denim and Leather 5. Power & the Glory 6. Thunderbolt 7. Hell, Fire and Damnation 8. Sacrifice 9. Into the Labyrinth 10. Carpe Diem 11. Call to Arms 12. The Inner Sanctum 13. Lionheart 14. Forever Free 15. Unleash the Beast 16. Dogs of War 17. Solid Ball of Rock 18. Battering Ram 19. Saxon 20. Killing Ground 21. Metalhead 22. Innocence is No Excuse 23. Rock the Nations 24. Destiny Keep up the good work!

Awesome Darcy. I’m loving the new Saxon as well. Been playing it a lot. Just went and seen Saxon and Uriah Heep this past Sunday. Wow what a show. Both bands kicked ass. Biff and the boys were loud and proud 🤘. Biffs voice sounded amazing. We loved the show

Just saw Saxon two nights ago and they killed it (only the second time I’ve seen them despite being a fan since the mid-‘80s).

Your top three, which I think are the first three albums, have the best album artwork as well—so bold and well-composed.

Crusader album artwork one of the best!

Great job. Looking forward to Iced Earth’s ranking.

Huge Saxon fan here, always great to hear your perspective!

awesome ranking of the mighty Saxon buddy awesome video as always

Great ranking as always Darcy, I only have a few Saxon albums to date but after watching your video I am definitely going to pick up a few more for sure \../

You’re right: “Carpe Diem” is not as heavy as its three predecessors. Still solid.

My next month shows April 26 Armored Saint/ Queensryche, May 3 Hammerfall, May 10 Saxon, and May 21 Judas Priest. It’ll be only my second time seeing Saxon.

Nice re-ranking Darcy! I was surprised bit I actually really like Dogs of War. But I still have more to get. Using your ranking to see what to get next!

Hi Darcy!!! great ranking, woow 24 studio albums that's a lot of music to listen..... and so coo to see they doing reissues of the 90/2000 catalogue. I agree they have one of the most consistent discography and still putting killer stuff from the newer releases i really enoy "And they Play R&R" and awesome tribute to Lemmy & the boys. cheers and be well

Yes! I was really happy to see this pop up in my feed. I bow down to your expertise and will use this going forward. I was never into Saxon back in the day and have really only gotten into them over the past few years. Like you I also love the new album. My collection of them is fairly small at the moment, got two of your top three and then four others. Going to see them live next month. This video will help me decide which album I need next. Great video Darcy. Cheers! Gary
