That was such a good show!

I remember back in 1976 when the "Rainbow Rising" album came out how the local record shop had the artwork covering the whole of the front window. Of course I bought it being a Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore fan. Bloody hard to think of it being 46 years ago now.

1- The Beatles ( White Album) - The Beatles 2- Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin 3- Queen Of The Murder Scene- The Warning 4- Ride The Lightning- Metallica 5- Master Of Puppets - Metallica

Great episode, the compiled list of 35(?) albums is non stop banging and really pure list of great albums trending as Pete pointed out SHORT. Got 4 new recommendations--VH2, Dokken, Dimension Hatross (not sure how I've slept on this all my life), Icon, and still trying to catch up to the Ryan Skow stuff like Ocean Machine and Destroyer 666.

Butch Jones laugh at 17:00, 32:00, 32:17, 33:16, 52:58, 57:15 and 1:11:53 is the best.😂😆 And Offcourse the part where he said rEaLly. 56:12🤣

1. Strangers in the Night - UFO 2. Leftoverture - Kansas 3. Silent Knight - Saga 4. Cosmic Messenger - Jean-Luc Ponty 5. Avoid the Light - Long Distance Calling

I agree with Butch, its so good to hear someone mention Icon. Ive loved those Icon albums for decades, underrated band Icon. Thank you.

Great show as always thank you. It is actually kind of comtorting to settle into a top 5 or top ten of bands, songs or albums. it quiets your mind and kind of calibrates you so you can focus on what you really want to spend your listening time on.

5. Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf (1977) 4. Somewhere Far Beyond - Blind Guardian (1992) 3. Via Dolorosa - Ophthalamia (1995) 2. Rust in Peace - Megadeth (1990) 1. Imaginations From the Other Side - Blind Guardian (1995)

I could choose any record of ACDC…but i always go to Highway to Hell, Back in Black, High Voltage and Powerage…and with This Channel i learn to love Rainbow Rising….. This 5 records are playing over and over…. Greetings from Portugal.

As I sit here now (probably will change tomorrow): 1) Pink Floyd - Animals 2) Marillion - Misplaced Childhood 3) Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath 4) Propaganda - Secret Wish 5) Rainbow - Rising

1. Judas Priest - Painkiller 2. Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime 3. Judas Priest - Stained Class 4. Metallica - And Justice for All 5. Dio - Holy Diver 6. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind 7. Iron Maiden - The Number of The Beast 8. Metallica - Master of Puppets 9. Judas Priest - Defenders of The Faith 10. Black Sabbath - Mob Rules

1) Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido 2) Black Sabbath - Sabotage 3) Sword - Metalized 4) Trouble - Run to the Light 5) Tygers of Pan Tang - Wild Cat

1. Rush-Signals 2. Yes-Tales From Topographic Oceans 3. Megadeth Rust in Peace 4 Radiohead-In Rainbows 5 Porcupine Tree-Fear of a Blank Planet

Always good to get a reminder of Icon and... Satyricon. Saw them live once, twice, different members... their next bands... those BraveWords years are a blur. Thanks guys. Now I gotta go hear that crowd noise thing on Unleashed again.

5.ANGEL-On Earth As It Is In Heaven- I choose this as it was the transition album. It was also my first as I had trouble finding their stuff. This was a white plastic 8 track that NEVER came out of the deck. I LOVE BOTH eras of the band but this was my first! 4.DEEP PURPLE- In Rock- Used copy Summer of 84 in Boston BLOWN AWAY. Played it non stop all Summer. I have a hard time listening to "Child In Time" now but only because I listened to it SOOOO much. Then they REFORMED!! It was meant to be! (I could easily throw in Heeps Demons and Wizards here) 3.STARZ-Violation-While you can say the first is the best, I thought they grew tremendously on this one. It has depth, it has riffs, it has SWAG, its light, its dark and its a Masterpiece. George Orwell, Mind Control, emotional pop. Perfection. 2.AEROSMITH-Rocks-What can you say? Its absolute perfection. The amount of quality songs, the SYNERGY of the band at its peak. "Lick and a Promise', "Sick As A Dog" They were a gang of thieves that became KINGS and collected all the ROCKS found on the cover. The album is so special I cant capture the Mystic quality in words. 1.UFO-Strangers In The night. Listened to the first side and then wrote out the lyrics to every song listening to it over and over. Yes Schenker blew me away! However, it was the lyrics found in songs like "Out In The Street" and "Im A Loser" that hooked me! Emotional, sincere, introspective, and very humanistic and poetic.

Chris Alo is a funny guy (funny how?) I’ve tried to compile a list but I get angry and feel disloyal at the ones I’d have to leave out. Ranging across many genres,Steely Dan,Floyd,Sabbath,Zeppelin,The Stones,The Clash,Thin Lizzy,The Who,Purple,ELO,Motown and Stax,reggae,punk,prog,folk and jazz funk,all of whom have at least one stellar album. An impossible task for me but a seemingly easy one for you guys. Very entertaining and informative,I’ll dig some of these out for sure. Greetings from England (Cornwall)

1. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis 2. Weather Report - Domino Theory/Heavy Weather (pick one for also mention) 3. Dark Side of the Moon/Animals - Pink Floyd (pick one for also mention) 4. One Size Fits All - Frank Zappa 5. Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

With the caveat that an artist can only appear once. 1. The Beatles - Abbey Road 2. The Who - Who's Next 3. The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed 4. Deep Purple - Fireball 5. Black Sabbath - Paranoid

1. The White Album The Beatles 2. Ride the Lighting Metallica 3. Quadrophenia The Who 4. American Idiot Green Day 5. All Mod Cons The Jam 6. Disintegration The Cure 7. Revolver The Beatles 8. Ace of Spades Motorhead 9. Chuck Sum 41 10. Days of Future Passed The Moody Blues

This is tough, I don't want to pull a Steve. But, The Who's "Who's Next" will remain as my Favorite Album of all Time.

1 Rush - Moving Pictures 2 Voivod - Dimension Hatross 3 Soundgarden - Louder than Love 4 Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood 5 Butch - Giving Others Airtime (A true rarity!)

The greatest thing is that I was happily drunk when I watched this episode a year ago or so, and I can watch it again on January 1 2024 it is fresh to me and highly enjoyable. TY. Happy New Year SOT.

Chris Aloe you're hysterical! "I feel kinda weird inside, but I love it!"

1. Savatage - Streets 2. UFO - Strangers in The Night 3. Queen - Queen 4. Kiss - Alive 5. Queensryche - The Warning

Quadrophenia, Hemispheres, Physical Graffiti, Powerage and Skynyrd Gold & Platinum

I did not want to think too much about this one, because as y'all said, this is almost impossible. Especially, as I have been listening to so many albums over the past 2 years, thanks to you. Here is what came to mind instantly. Only one has been the same forever (No. 1). The others are all new. And next year it may well be all different again. 1) Wishbone Ash, - Argus 2) Glass Hammer - The Middle-Earth Album 3) Rush - Moving Pictures (closely tied with Permanent Waves, but this year Moving Pictures got the edge) 4) Magnum - Kingdom of Madness 5) Yes - Going for the One Sorry, not a lot of metal in this list, 🙂.
