When I was ten years old...

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Can’t do it. Can’t choose between News Of The World and Animals.

[JohnnyBlaze]

Animals vs Aja vs Songs from the Wood....Animals. Rumors, Rock & Roll Machine, and Love Gun are high on the enjoyability list too.

 

Special nod to Bowie...

[Turbine Freight]

Low & "Heroes" in the space of one year. Let's all just think about that for a moment.

[Texas King]

Pistols!

One of the ballsiest albums ever.

[Rick N. Backer]

A relatively easy choice for me. Lights Out is UFO’s high water mark. Lots of albums I love here, but none as much as that one.

[ST3V]

I can't believe you just made me choose over Grand Illusion and Rock & Roll Machine.

FM - Black Noise

Some of my favourite albums and bands represented here:

UFO, Colosseum II, Floyd, Lizzy, Queen. Great albums here from AC/DC, Styx, Weather Report, Priest, ELO, Kansas, Dixie Dregs, Triumph, Supertramp, Gabriel, Motörhead, even Meatloaf...bloody hell!

 

But there can be only one and that’s Going For The One by Yes. f***ing brilliant.

Obsession is their best for me.

[Stormtron]

Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation

[The Cat 3]

Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation

My all time fav Thin Lizzy album!

[Nova Carmina]

The final four:

 

Pink Floyd

Jethro Tull

Thin Lizzy

KISS

 

(KISS just beating AC/DC in the play-in game)

 

It was long, it was exhausting, it was ugly in places, rude things were done and said, but in the end, it's Animals over Bad Reputation.

[BK 2112]

Wow, The Grand Illusion and Point of Know Return are both top-5 all time albums for me, but Animals is the single greatest album ever recorded, by anyone, ever. Period.

[Mithrandir]

Gotta give some love to BOC

Obsession is their best for me.

 

They're very close. But Too Hot to Handle and Love to Love on one album is too much to overcome.

In retrospect I find the album versions quite tame compared to the versions on Strangers.

That's the case with most of the material covered on SitN, though, don't you think?

[ReRushed]

The Clash!
