General Music Chat

OK this was tough, and I know I've left off a large number of great records but for what it's worth here you go. To qualify, the album had to be great from start to finish and have little or no live material. No compilations or greatest hits were allowed.

Strangely those didn't make the cut.

Imagine the look on her face ....

Love - Forever Changes

Al Steward - Roads to Moscow

Jeff Airplane - House at Pooniel Corners

Children of Bodom - Are you Dead yet.

And many others. Those jumped to mind immediately - all time favorites.

Just some that I don't have to think too long for...

Back in Black - AC/DC
South of Heaven - Slayer
Abigail - King Diamond
Appetite for Destruction - Guns n Roses

Dirt - Alice in Chains
Peice of Mind - Iron Maiden

The first three are all you really need to become changed by the fire.

You pretty much listed the rest, Jimmy.

I totally forgot about AIC - Dirt. Back in Black might also have to be considered. Not a fan of The Wall. Thanks Zip.

I'd almost want to put The Division Bell on there too.
