Texas King Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 One album per band/solo artist. My list would look like this: Permanent Waves by Rush Powerslave by Iron Maiden Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath Appetite for Destruction by GnR Love Over Gold by Dire Straits Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan Doolittle by Pixies Ace of Spades by Motorhead Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by Dead Kennedys Your picks? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 A couple of my picks would overlap with yours: Ace of Spades Appetite For Destruction But I'd pick a different IM: Somewhere in Time and a different Rush: Grace Under Pressure to finish it off, probably: AC/DC -- Back in Black Kiss -- Lick It Up Metallica -- Master of Puppets King's X -- Gretchen Goes To Nebraska Megadeth -- Peace Sells Honorable mention to the live albums: Thin Lizzy -- Life/Live Triumph -- Stages 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 AC/DC - Back in Black Def Leppard - Pyromania Rush - Moving Pictures GNR - Appetite for Destruction Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance Aerosmith - Rock in a Hard Place Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz ZZ Top - Eliminator I'm staying away from things like Paul McCartney's Tug of War or Duran Duran's Rio, since I infer that since you said rock and modified it to include metal you mean hard rock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Fair Warning is definitely better than Eliminator, but then ZZ Top’s very best albums were in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Warning is better than almost any other album ever released, so yeah. But Eliminator is peak Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry Pie came on the radio today and that sure is a fun jam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Great topic Rush - Permanent Waves (can only pick one but could easily add MP and Signals) Van Halen - Fair Warning Dio - Holy Diver Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Whitesnake - Whitesnake Dokken - Under Lock and Key Ozzy - The Ultimate Sin (I simply loved Jake E Lee’s playing and spun this one a gazillion times) AC/DC - Back In Black Night Ranger - Midnight Madness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Not sure where the line is around here between rock and pop, so -- like Rick N. Backer above -- I'm excluding favorites like Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Ultravox, etc. Black Sabbath -- Heaven and Hell Blue Öyster Cult -- Fire of Unknown Origin Rush -- Moving Pictures Van Halen -- Women and Children First Scorpions -- Love at First Sting Deep Purple -- Perfect Strangers Yngwie Malmsteen -- Rising Force Metallica --Master of Puppets Genesis -- Duke Yes -- 90125 Some years ago this list would have included King's X, but I've kind of fallen out of love with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick There were some exceptions…..Dokken and Whitesnake being two of them….they had good album’s filled with great riffs and melodies. And high quality lead vocals….especially Coverdale.
