Amen to that! LZ III is ok but a bit hippyish, LZ 4 has been thrashed too much thanks to Stairway to Heavan, Physical Graffiti isn't too bad though.

Jeepers, the day we start bagging LZ4 as overcommercialised, I think we can safely say we've gone through disestablishmentarianism and out the other side.

Hey! Im not THAT old


And yeah re: metallica. Have all of them, if I could pick just one it'd be the black album. I love lightning and puppets, but I get sick of the old production, I want somethign with balls.

[riffer]

Ummm, cause Exodus are show ponies, Kreator are tuneless Germans, Motorhead are well, Motorhead, fun but not essential, and Anthrax are a bunch of sell-outs.

But they are the ones that shaped metal as we know it!

I like re-living my yooff

[F5 Dave]

sweet albums, I like almost all of them. Im sure some are missing tho, like
peter gabriel - (the album where his face is half run paint) biko i think.
u2 - which ever one you prefer (im with the less popular "unforgetable fire")
david bowie - re above
oh and prodigy - i lean more to "music for the jilted generation"

Peter Gabriel’s 1st solo album was a self titled album.
As was his 2nd, & his 3rd, & his 4th.
Wallflower on the 4th was awesome.
Face melting is 3rd one & yes I agree the best.

Don’t buy ‘Up’ though, instead buy plays live

Stranglers Ratus Norvegicus has to be one of my fav albums (No more heros their next best).

Fresh fruit DKs is good, like the single Too Drunk to Fuck for a laugh, but only have it on Vinyl.

Tool. Lateralus

Time to hit the unsubscribe button, this will be a long one.

What !!! shaped metal as we know it !!! I don't think so !! .... Go back and listen to stuff like Thin Lizzy from the last of their albums .... MSG ..... a german outfit worthy of being called true metal !! .... The Scorpians, even from their early stuff ... early Rush ..... Very early Gary Moore ....Alcatraz to a certain degree and most of all ..... anything by Deep Purple !! .... Try to find the version of "living for the city" by the Ian Gillan Band too .... great !!!
