My 3rd favorite Metallica. 'Creeping Death' being one of the greatest ever metal songs. They were just so fantastic back in their youth and prime.

This is Priest's album on speed. The average pace on all these songs leave most earlier work in the dust. Fast, furious, brilliant the whole way through. One of there heavier albums. This is metal. I rate this up there as one of there best.

First Manowar album I got so a tad biased towards it. But it is fucking good. Even recently on listening to it I realized it's actually way better than I'd given it credit for. Stereotypical metal.....but hey, what's wrong with that. 06/24

I'm not rating this as a compilation due to it having 4 new tracks plus a couple done with Girlschool.

When this came out, I'd just began my working life and worked with a group of Tongans who thrashed this. Hence it was all very familiar listening when I got it. Good ol' Prince. Some great tracks on this 01/25

7th album from them . No real hits or better known tracks on it but it has a good solid sound throughout. There's no pretentiousness about them. I've said it before. A very underrated band 08/24

One of the most amusing movies ever made. Can't help but conjure up images of it while listening to this. "Stonehenge' brings a smile to my face every time. A great musically & lyrically condescending piss take on band life. Good variety of music as well varying from 60's rock 'n roll to paisley to 70's hard rock to metal. 07/24
