No collection is complete without.......

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 !!!

Got all those too, MSG and Scorpians are good.. but they didnt do the "thrash" thing. gary moore is one of my fav guitarists.. got the live album "We Want Moore" around somewhere. grew up with deep purple etc... my brother is 10 years older than me.
I love it alll

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.

I'm not saying overcommercialised, just over thrashed, thanks to Stairway - not their best work in my opinion. I'm as guilty as anyone because my very old LP copy of LZ4 can barely be played from overuse, I haven't botherd replacing it with a CD copy although many of the tracks are on remasters anyway.

Ooooh, top ten movies, eh?

I'm not going to rank them, but I'll give a random sampling of some movies I particularly like. Off top of head, and in alphabetical order...

Before Sunset
Das Boot
Dr Strangelove
Grave of the Fireflies
My Dinner With Andre
Patton
Sleuth
Twelve Angry Men
The Life of Brian
The Limey
The Princess Bride

[Edit: 'The Limey' reminds me that I should have put Easy Rider in. But perhaps that goes without saying around here.]

[Motu]

Dr Strangelove,that was great eh - might of been something to do with the state I was in,but I was totaly sucked in and didn't know what was going on - I daren't watch it again in case it induces a flashback....
