Of course you know... this means war.

If you hadn't dropped the rest of your list at once I probably wouldn't have finished mine so there's that.

Some great albums in there Jaq. Too much prog for me but  :tup for rainbow Rising (a Lowdz Top 5).
Maiden are awesome - no shock there.
Misplaced Childhood is the classic you say it is.
DT  :heart
KISS, Ozzy (I'm one who prefers Diary...), all win. And SRV is  :hefdaddy

Nice job.

But for me... 1987 was the year. Still, 76 was pretty awesome.

Well done Jaq!!  Well done!  I have the same dilemma as others with PoM and Powerslave..  Depends on my mood as too which one is stronger.  Thanks for the awesome list.  :hat

And some random factoids about my list to wrap this up:

The most brutal battle in this list: the one for #50. Crimson by Edge of Sanity won it over a coin flip over...Transatlantic's debut album. If I made this list again, they'd probably swap.

Rush only had a single album in my top 50. 2112, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, and Power Windows made my top 100.

The only other Dream Theater album in my top 100 was Awake at number 57.

The album in my top 100 most unlike the taste in music I display generally here: Kind of Blue by Miles Davis at number 60.

Other 1976 gems that made my top 100: Presence by Led Zeppelin (#95), Hotel California by the Eagles (#74), A Trick of the Tail by Genesis (#68), Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult (#91), and the previously mentioned 2112 (#65.)

And finally, the album that, in my last iteration of my top 100 to make this top 50 list, came in #100: Foreigner's self-titled debut album.

Thanks again guys. Maybe if I do some sort of list DT-side I'll smartly write most of it up BEFORE I start.

7. Opeth-Morningrise.

Someone likes Morningrise? Someone put it in their top ten? ALERT THE MEDIA. Opeth's first two albums are considered (if they are considered at all) the red headed stepchildren of Opeth's discography, with the band properly coming into existence with My Arms Your Hearse, but fuck that noise, they're brilliant. Morningrise was the first Opeth album I ever heard, and I fell in love with it and played it endlessly for months. Magnificent.

Yeah, when anyone needs back up for the case that early Opeth doesn't suck, give me a call.

I'm with you guys, I love both Orchid and Morningrose... though neither would make my Top 10 of all time.

Great seeing Lizzy so high.

Maiden of course are perfect.

Yes.


Also Jaq, I'm not a Floyd/Waters guy though I do have a couple PF albums that I love. I've always been curious about Amused To Death and have found the whole concept truly fascinating. After 20 years of wondering, I will definitely make it part of my Fathers Day haul in a few weeks. Your #1 pick is the official tipping point.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
