I realize this is a difficult question, so I will allow for some honorable mentions. However, your first choice, must be your top choice. The genre must be Hard Rock, and Heavy Metal, only.
For me, off the top of my head:
Top choice: Judas Priest–Screaming For Vengeance
Some honorable mentions: Def Leppard–Pyromania, Lynch Mob–Wicked Sensation, (Bon years) AC/DC–Highway To Hell/(Brian years) Back In Black, Van Halen–Van Halen Tesla–Mechanical Resonance, Ozzy Osbourne–Diary Of A Madman.

Mötley Crüe: Too Fas For Love followed by Ozzy: Diary of a Madman
Oh man this is a tough one. Got to go with Motley Crue – Shout at the Devil. The one that started it all for me.
Another honorable mention Blue Murder–Blue Murder. 🙂
Diary is a mind blowing record, it just blows the doors off.
An overlooked one is Alcatrazz – “No Parole From Rock N’ Roll”… zero waste!
Physical Graffiti
