    Classic Rock Albums

    I am thinking of buying more CDs

    Can people tell me what their top 20 Classic Rock albums are.

    I have a narrow defiinition of this term in that I don't include Nu metal bands nor Nirvana and generally few post 1990 stuff.

    Some of my favourite albums are:

    1. Live and Dangerous - THin Lizzy
    2. Queen
    3. Queen II
    4. Rush
    5. Moving Pictures - Rush
    5. Firing on all six - Lone Star
    5. Drama - Yes
    6. Going for the One - Yes
    7. Escape - Journey
    8. Thunder and Lightning - THin Lizzy

    I wish classic rock bands would come back.

    Re: Classic Rock Albums

    1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
    2. Anthrax - Spreading the Disease
    3. Thunder - Backstreet Symphony
    4. Iron Maiden - Brave New World
    5. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
    6. Def Leppard - High 'N Dry
    7. Dio - Holy Diver
    8. Metallica - Master of Puppets
    9. Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
    10. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

    I'll stick with ten, as a top 20 would take some serious thinking due to my favourites changing all the time. Probably all Iron Maiden albums (other than the stuff they produced between 1989 and 1999) would be in there though.

    Spot my favourite band

    Nooooooooooooooo Please say it ain't so. I saw Maiden on their first major tour (Victoria Hall, Stoke in 1976/7?). They were supported by Praying Mantis (who?) who were infinitely better ... I ended up walking out half way through ... probably one of the worst concerts I've ever been to (and I've been to some real cr*p). To cap it all some pratt tried to mug me on the way home.
