Not to be confused with the rock song "T.N.T.", which is by [[ACDC (Music)|a different band]].

* ''TNT'' 1982, the debut album has a much different tone to every other succeeding it. The lyrics were in Norwegian, and singer Dag Ingebrigtsen provided rhythm guitar on a few tracks. Ronni Le Tekrø's tone was much different sounding. After this album, Dag left for personal reasons a few months or so after new bassist Morten Skaget arrived, and the band went through limbo deciding who would sing now.
* ''Knights of the New Thunder'' This album had demos recorded with Dag singing in English.([[Keep Circulating the Tapes]], but be warned the lyrics and vocals aren't very good.) But Dag left before the final recordings, and New Yorker Tony Harnell arrived on vocals and became [[The Face of the Band]] instantly, Morten Skaget changed his name to Morty Black and took on his unique stage personality and smile with the name. Had two hits: "Seven Seas" and "Break The Ice", the former being a power metal song, the latter old fashioned metal.
* ''Tell No Tales'' TNT's biggest hit in the US, this album took a huge turn musically towards hair metal but kept the feel of ''Knights'' in a few tracks such as "Desperate Night" and the title track, the former being regarded as one of the best TNT songs ever. But their hits were the highly commercial "10,000 Lovers (In One)" and "Everyone's A Star". Videos for both are still heavily circulated on metal related shows. This was the final album until 2004 to include original drummer Diesel Dahl, who had writing credits on this album.
* ''Intuition'' By far TNT's most commercial album, this album had a straight up AOR feel. With backing vocals by [[Yngwie Malmsteen]] vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, drums by Norwegian virtuoso Morten Skogstad, and keyboardist Dag Stokke joining the band, it proved to be an enormous success worldwide.
* ''Realized Fantasies'' A more hard sounding album compared to ''Intuition'', ''Realized Fantasies'' featured production by [[Guns N' Roses (Music)|Guns N' Roses]] producer Ric Wake. Featuring future [[Rising Force]] drummer John Macaluso on drums, the album was a success, but was [[Screwed By the Network|Screwed By The Record Company]] in the US and never released there. Also featured Joe Lynn Turner on backing vocals. After this album, the band went on hiatus for a while, with Ronni, Morty and Dag forming
* ''Firefly'' A more experimental album than anything before it, ''Firefly'' was released in 1997 with keyboardist Dag Stokke engineering and mixing the album, and a drum machine being used on the album. It was highly successful in Norway in Japan, with tours for both countries happening with drummer Frode Lamøy from Jack In the Box.
* ''Transistor''
