Judas Priest- Screaming For Vengeance Judas Priest- Defenders Of The Faith Judas Priest- Painkiller Judas Priest- Firepower Judas Priest- Invincible Shield If someone told me this was the actual release order of these albums, with nothing in between, I wouldn't think twice.

Debut album released 50 years ago today

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication The horribly brickwalled mastering will always keep this a pace behind BSSM for me, but in terms of writing and performance it really aught to stand toe to toe. The singles of course are arguably the best songs the band ever wrote.

Robert Plant keeps releasing great music.

Yesterday: Olivia Rodrigo - Guts Passion Pit - Manners Imagine Dragons - Smoke + Mirrors Today: Brian Eno - Another Green World Florence + The Machine - Lungs Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow

Have any of you seen the Hipgnosis documentary on Netflix? Although I don't miss vinyl, I miss the days of real album cover art.

Great album.

It seems like it was just 600 months ago....

I've decided to give Priest a proper discography run. Will take me a while given the size but you gotta start somewhere. Rocka Rolla is better than I remember it being. It's not the Priest I know, but for 70s hard rock it's surprisingly solid, at least the first couple tracks and Diamonds and Rust.

He would also play on the side of the stage. So a lot of the time people couldn't even see him.

Geoff Nicholls was the keyboard player on all the albums from Heaven and Hell to Forbidden, that's 10 albums. He was also the live keyboard player but he also played rhythm guitar on certain songs. He's on all the live albums of that period as well but just listed as the keyboard player.

It really is time for a new TOST tho

...But boy did this artwork set my expectations way too high

100% agree. They were still good & the 2 albums they put out after Rob rejoined are good (Angel is the better of the 2 IMO) but even so they were becoming a legacy band. Then KK left and Richie was a huge addition. The first album with him was good - about as good as Angel IMO. But when I saw the Battle Cry DVD it hit me they had some gas in the tank - that their was something there 2 watch. I was like "To bad KK is gone but this new guy, Ritchie Faulkner, what is he? The reincarnation of Randy Rhodes? This is a band I want to keep listening to. There is something here. They are not done yet". The rest is history - and history that is still being made. I really feel that the HOF made a mistake by not inducting Ritchie. Its his addition that provided Priest with the late career supercharging that helped get them into the HOF. BTW - I liked the positive spin on Ritchie and agree with it. The negative spin would be that KK saved the band by leaving. I would not agree with that. It would be like arguing that John Rutsey saved Rush by getting the boot. Not accurate in either case, nor positive. Much better and accurate to focus on the positive of Ritchie and Neil (and appreciate all that John and KK contributed)

John Buchan - The Thirty-Nine Steps Patrick Hamilton - Hangover Square Wilkie Collins - The Woman in White

Blue Oyster Cult - Same

Looked for an official Black Sabbath thread, and this is what I found. Came across this concert just now. I really liked the Dio-Sabbath stuff back in the day, and this show sounds great. On the opening track Mob Rules, I'm hearing a rhythm guitar behind Tony's solos. Anyone here know what the deal is with that, because I don't see another guitar player on stage.

My most recent vinyl purchases (ordered by the amount I paid) are: *Thunder Seven- Triumph *Rising- Rainbow *Minstrel in the Gallery- Jethro Tull *Permanent Waves- Rush (First pressing!) *Octopus- Gentle Giant (It cost waaaay more than I usually pay for vinyl, but it's the jar cover with the die-cuts and it sounds SO good)

Have I ever done Coldplay? 1. Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends 2. A Rush Of Blood To The Head 3. Mylo Xyloto 4. Ghost Stories 5. Parachutes 6. Everyday Life 7. X&Y 8. A Head Full Of Dreams 9. Music Of The Spheres

Not my favorite by far but I do love it.

Sharks can't beat the Jackets. We'll have to do it the hard way. See you tomorrow.

I went with the Steel Mill option (like everybody else so far). I have their first album and I find it to be decent. Nothing special but its ok. Have not found the second album on either vinyl or CD so I have not been able to get it and have not listened to it. I think I herd one or 2 songs on Youtube and they were decent. Ok but nothing special.

KK's Priest just doesn't sound like a good band name. Meh. I appreciate his effort with the band he put together and the music. Fun stuff to listen to.

Molly Hatchet's first few albums are pretty damn fun

Based on artwork, Molly Hatchet had some of the best albums ever.

New song by Brazilian prog metal band Maestrick, from their upcoming album. With yours truly doing the narration at the 4-minute mark:
