geezer

Blizzard, but maybe because it has influenced me more during the years with all its classic tracks played live. Unfortunately Diary has always suffered a different fate and it would be great having at least one show with setlist including just these two albums.

SRV anyway , mainly because was a extraordinary guitarist and also because sometimes I find Jeff Beck too difficult to follow.

Jeff Beck - the Father SRV - the Son Blues - the Holy Ghost

Got more than 20 Hawkwind live and studio albums (including last ones); a band that sometimes went 'too beyond' for my ears and suffered for too many line-up changes but definetely a bunch of rockin' blokes. I can easily recommend all their 70s works.

As Dio: Holy Diver The Last in Line Straight Through The Heart With Rainbow: Gates Of Babylon Stargazer Kill The King With Sabbath: The Sign Of The Southern Cross Children Of The Sea Heaven And Hell

U2 - Bad

Painkiller. Priest at very full engine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (and forgive me for late!)

Tom Hardy

Badlands debut album

Many, but none of them would fit in a Rush setlist

The Call Of Ktulu

I love their albums with Vinnie Moore (I find them better than Michael's latest works)

Anyone DOESN'T ????

Mindcrime. One the best 80s albums

I'd say both but trying to keep the true spirit of the band alive is what I care the most

Permanent Waves (and a dozen more)

Ozzy as singer = a not beautiful woman that makes great sex anyway

Here in Italy everyone could claim that (Dio version, with just two fingers involved) since Middle Ages. It started even before farting....

All legendary works, but Who's Next tops them all

I find VGPS, Arthur and Lola a great trilogy with Preservation as my favourite

The Man Who Would Be King

Unfortunately nowadays here in Europe it's not easy to know where exactly a new vinyl has been pressed: in the past you had the 'Made in UK' or 'Made in West Germany' prints as quality marks (Netherlands were another reliable source), now with 'Made in EU' you don't know exactly the country of actual pressing and sometimes the final work is not of the quality you expect. That's the reason why I often read reviews of new vinyls before buying and why I bought almost all American pressings of the new Rush vinyls a cuople of years ago

I find Meddle side B (Echoes) best Floyd moment but as a whole album I still choose The Wall with Animals as silver medal

I have all Rush albums in Japanese vinyl pressings (the ones that were released at least, up to HYF) and I have always enjoied listening to them; I can't make an accurate comparison because I use my turntable just sometimes but I have always loved the experience. Jap vinyl pressings are often of great quality (both mastering and manufacturing) and UK is another valid source in the matter, mainly for British bands. I'd love to get a couple of Pink Floyd remastered Jap vinyls released last year but price, shipment and customs would make them too expensive.
