German metal band Accept gained popularity during the 80's metal scene, which is why I'm putting them here. Their beginning, however goes back much further and their actual professional career began around 1976 with the lineup of Udo Dirkschneider, Wolf Hoffman, Gerhard Wahl, Dieter Rubach, and Frank Friedrich. Their first stable lineup included the aforementioned with the addition of Peter Baltes (replacing Rubach) released their self titled debut in 1979. Friedrich and Wahl quit the band after this release and were replaced by Stefan Kaufmann and Jorg Fischer. This lineup recorded I'm a Rebel in 1980. In 1981 they released Breaker. restless and Wild released in 1982 saw the band moving into a more speed metal direction. With Herman frank now onboard in the band they released their most popular record Balls to the wall in 1983, followed by Metal Heart (1985), and Russian Roulette (1986). In 1987 Udo pursued a solo career, which eventually would see him leave the band and new American vocalist David Reece joined the band and they released Eat the heat in 1989. By late 1989 the band went on hiatus.
