#3, I don't remember ranking it that high, but I chose my "favorite" albums, not the "best" and I'm OK with the #3 ranking. I wouldn't even realistically be able to guess how many times I've listened to this album, and whoever said sophomore year of high school, you nailed it for me. Spring...

I've listened to both versions, and honestly, I like the original without any audible bass better. And truly, you cannot hear any bass guitar on that album because they let Lars get into the mixing room. BUT, what you get is the largest in-your-face kick drum ever because there is nothing else...

Harvester of Sorrow rocks and would be my second choice, but I'd vote for the obvious song, One. I remember being about 17 or 18 and listening to "One" in my car at full volume and thinking to myself, "I have the privilege of listening to the release of the greatest heavy metal song ever...

Same. I really enjoyed Bosch and I really wanted to enjoy Legacy, but after 4 or 5 false starts, I realized life is too short to force yourself to watch shows that you hope you like but you just don't. I am sure that his daughter is a really sweet person in real life, but making her a cop was a...

Word. Many Thanks, I love these types of lists and they're really the only things I participate in around here. Speaking of, when is the babe bracket coming back????

This and Murmer were late cuts but would've made the top 100. They were big albums for me in my teens, but I haven't listened to them in years for whatever reason.

That's cuz Michael McDonald pretty much wrote it.

When I first saw the video for True Men Don't Kill Coyotes back in 1984, it was unlike anything I'd seen/heard before. I had all their albums up through BSSM, and then I just fell out of love with the group. I'll turn the channel if they come on the radio if it's anything released after Soul to...

I've got about 10 albums downloaded to my phone so I can listen to them on the plane or wherever I don't have wifi. This is one of them. Terrible Lie is a good one, but if you're going to pick a song to appeal to the masses, I'd think Head Like a Hole is the obvious choice.

This was a near miss for me, I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I think I only picked two albums because those are the only two that I still listen to on a fairly regular basis. Here's some Beatles trivia, which will probably be easy for a couple you all. Most fans know that Let it Be was actually...

This was another close call for me. I listened to it a lot in 85, but I haven't listened to this whole album more than maybe twice since then. But No Surrender and Darlington County were "put the windows down and turn this song up" jams back in the day.

I think this is the fifth time I get to pick a song, so I think I'm tied with Dennis Castro for that honor. This album was special to me because it came out just after I got out of college and I was losing faith in where music was going in the early 90s (Rico Suave, Right Said Fred, etc), but...

Something like that. He was strung out on something mixed with his big jug of wine and he went all psycho. It was more of a "Hey. Perry is tripping balls and it looks like he's finally lost his **** in a violent way..." instead of him making a conscious decision to attack Navarro. Weak sauce to...

I've got to go with the obvious choice for the playlist - Mountain Song - that's the song that started it for me with this band. I saw them at the first Lollapalooza in Orlando and this thread has reminded me of all the kickass concerts I went to back when the bands were still relevant. I...

This was also one of my top 90s albums (5th), but it really could've been #1 depending on the mood I was in. This is one of those albums I could listen to 100 more times and never get sick of it. Siamese Dream gets all the love, but for me, this one is far better all the way through. I saw them...
