it makes me wanna JUMP

good movie-great album

I couldn't remember the name of the other really good one

Their Best Album- still very heavy

THe Prince of Darkness makes quite possibly his greatest album ever

Mutt Lang is a good producer

The Frost remain strong on this one. The makeup's not really what I'd call cool, but I'm not hear to judge. "The Usurper" is killer.

Second album from the Dickinson/Murray/Smith/Harris/McBrain lineup. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is Maiden's essential epic.

Metallica's fastest. "The Four Horsemen" remains perhaps their greatest song.

Iron Maiden meets Pink Floyd. Iron Floyd. Pink Maiden. You'll be humming the choruses to this one all day.

Godfather of gothic metal does no worse for having excluded satan from his solo career. Unearthly guitar work.

Black Sabbath meets Judas Priest. Anyone who dedicates a song to himself is a winner.

The album that began the trend toward the death metal we know today. Dark, dissonant, abrasive, and heavy as hell.

Worlds of brilliant music fast-forwarded and crammed into one thirty minute album. The marriage of thrash and death metal and its most glorious.

Only contender for #1 next to Master. Iron Maiden remains one of the most consistently great bands of all time, and this is their best.

Not just the best of the eighties...MoP is the best ever, anywhere.

A great album by Australia's most famous band. Andy's and John's dense rhythm section is the key, and "New Sensation" the most essential track.

Ever heard a purer voice that Harriet Wheeler? Hardly ever. Though this is borderline '80s (1989/1990), and barely reached the Australian Top 40, it is something quite special.

A superbly sophisticated and sober album that makes much modern radio pop sound childishly playful. Listen to this, and you will doubt that the problem with mainstream music is "overproduction".

A great compilation by the most impressive singles act of the early 1980s. "Automatic" is the epitomy of Richard Perry's skill, which paved the way for David A. Stewart.

An incredibly beautiful and sparse album that could have become the '80s greatest ever if had not only reached #53(!) in the US. (It went triple platinum in Australia). The songs are incredibly melodic and utterly exquisite yet catchy and captivating.

"Sophia dancing in the chaos." That sums up this captivating concept album.

Though TFF were often seen as a pop band, their lyrics were so socially conscious and their music so spohisticated that one can only reject this. Orzabal has more tenderness and compassion than just about anyone.

A perfect pop album if ever there was one, with Byrne's acute observations of society at their best. And it sold over 400,000 copies in Australia.

Though Prefab Sprout's American following never numbered more than a handful of devotees, Paddy McAloon's remarkably literate (though often unfashionable) observations about society have never been equalled.

Always my all-time favourite. Contains not only the brilliant, catchy hits "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Spirits In The Material World", but such overlooked gems as "Too Much Information", "Demolition Man" and "One World (Not Three).

Songs with meaning, speaking to the loss of a way of life. Too many people only think of American Fool when they think of JCM, this album is a gem.

I was never into dance music, but when I first the opening footsteps in "West End Girls", I was hooked.

There are songs/albums that change you the moment you hear them. You remember where you were the first time you heard the song, the first time you heard of the group. Freshman year of college, far away from home-and depressed and lonely. Out of the radio tuned to the campus station comes "Someone, Somewhere in Summertime". Hello alternative music. This album makes it into the top 10 as much for the lifeline it provided me as for the great music found thereon.

Everyone knows the video-one of the coolest ever done. Now listen to the title track-one of the first songs I played for my future wife. Unfortunately a-ha received the dreaded novelty/funny foreign group label. And a whole bunch of shallow, dim-witted fools missed out on some great music.

When I heard "The Voice" I told my parents that I wanted this album by this new group. I wondered why they looked at me like I had rocks in my head. This album provided me with the door to more special music than I knew what to do with. I still put 8 or 9 Moodies album's in the CD player and let it run all day. This album holds a special place for me because no one I knew listened to the Moodies, they were mine & I could retreat into my room and become the "Veteran Cosmic Rocker".

From the pornographic, raunchy connotations on "Relax" to the fitting depiction of Reagen and Brehznev in "Two Tribes", this album was my guilty pleasure. The title track is just so not like anything I'd ever heard before, still after 18 years-nothing comes close. And yes I had the Relax t-shirt and the buttons.

The annoyance level of my parents went through the ceiling when I brought this home. I played "London Calling" over and over until I wore out the groove (back when we had LP's) Then I discovered "Clampdown" & "The Guns of Brixton". I had never heard music like this-particularly the ska elements-this album was the jumping off point for me to groups like Madness, Smiths, Cure, Housemartins, Jam-in other words, the British New Wave Movement.

A little album tucked in between their well-known debut and Brothers in Arms. A great album to put on while in the back seat with the one you love. "Romeo & Juliet", "Tunnel of Love"-great guitar listen to the words about a young man who meets a girl at a carnival and "gets a keepsake and a kiss". The images the song conjures of the poignant moment ... And for a little rock n' roll "Solid Rock"

I can honestly say that the geek that I was in high school, I did have one first. I was the first kid in my school to discover Asia. I was working a wedding for a catering company and while on break went to the bar and found a juke box. I saw this group with a song I'd never heard before "Heat of the Moment"-I bought the record the next day. Top to bottom, every song I loved and played over and over through three LP's, several tapes, and now on CD. It was just so different from other hard rock that was out there. Four virtuosos playing together, just awesome.

I've never understood how this album got lost in the shuffle. Maybe because its not about Ireland, or Irish history. But what it is is a Scot perspective on war "Lay Me Where the Rose is Sown", the loss of the center of life in a "Steeltown", the cold war "Flame of the West, East of Eden" and maybe the best song on the album "Just a Shadow" . And those damn guitars with the bagpipe sound-Big Country never got their due, especially for this album. Stuart Adamson-rest in peace ....

Cher??? Well, yes Cher. The ageless on began hanging out with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Michael Bolton etc and was converted into a rock chick! This eponymous album contains some excellent tunes such as I Found Someone, We All Sleep Alone and Dangerous Times. And she has one hell of a voice to boot.

This is Big Bry's best effort. Run To You, Heaven, It's Only Love....the list goes on. Essential stuff.

Perry, Schon, Valory, Cain & Smith toughen it up with some blistering melodic rock.

Before the dodgy mullet, Bolton kicked ass with this phenomenal slice of first rate AOR, joined by a shed-load of special guests including keysman Mark Mangold.

The Boys Of Summer is, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest song of all time.

Messrs Gramm & Jones turn out their best recorded work, including hits such as Waiting For A Girl Like You, Juke Box Hero and Urgent.

The band have performed Living On A Prayer in many different arrangements, and it holds up as one of the greatest songs ever no matter what.

Toto hit overdrive with this, their strongest album to date. Rosanna, Africa, I Won't Hold You Back, simply brilliant.

Keep On Loving You, Take It On The Run, In Your Letter. All classics.

The best album by the best AOR band in the world.

ĄEpics!

Their best album before becoming a mainstream band.

Don't loose the Downtown train

Only Lou Reed can tittle an album with the name of his city. The Scorsese of the rock.

The Toxic Twins got back in the saddle!!

Hey! became in the best pop song of this decade

The nasty boys from L.A. were the kings of America until the glory confuse their minds.

The meant a new revolution like the Stooges at their time. Mixing spirituality, energy and keeping themselves always outside frome the clampdown.

I'm not american but from Europe I think that this album reflects the authentic american life in a lot of sides.

I heard it for the first time when I was about 15 and it change my life. This album showed me the real life on a lyrical, political, and authentic musci knowledge.
