Rush All The World's A Stage

Yes Yessongs

Yes Going For The One

UFO Strangers In The Night

AC/DC Let There Be Rock

Uh, no AFTK?? :huh:

It would be stuffed down my pants where nobody (male or female) would want to look. Truth is I got Rush already kicking major ass on a double album. I still get great Yes live with all their early greatness but I don't get Awaken/Parallels etc. unless I take GFTO. The pipe organ takes me places no other instrument can. I must have my live UFO and AC/DC at their very best also.....

 

I want to look.

G. Dead - 2 From The Vault

 

Nice one.

 

I am almost shocked that I do not see Caress of Steel on your list. But I notice you went with all live albums, so that may explain it.

 

Well done!

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies - for when I'm doing something unspeakable to something

 

King Crimson - Red - for when I'm killing something

 

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden - for when I'm eating something

 

Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue - for when I'm forlorn about what I've done to something

Subject to change at any moment, but if I was running out of the house this very moment it would be:

 

Rush - Clockwork Angels (I picked this over AFTK, PeW, Hemispheres because it's longer!)

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

Ultravox - The Collection (a greatest hits album, since I can't choose)

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor

Nightwish - Imaginaerum

For some reason I cannot buy stuff from iTunes on my computer (probably because I don't want to "upgrade" to v.11) so I need to get it another way. Now that you've reminded me I should go deal with that now...

Do so! DPP is a very personal album, and to get the most out of its lyrical depth you may just want to give a little glance at the bands history...but overall it is just a perfect album!

The first track is a thirteen minute roller coaster ride, deeply personal and absolutely perfect. My all time favourite epic

Okay, I've heard DPP a couple times now. I like it. I'm a fan of that big, bombastic sound. I do like Imaginaerum a lot more though—in part because Storytime is such a fabulous song, and it's what drew me in.
