Top 5 bands..........well I can't see any reason to change from my DTF Top 50
Van Halen
DT
Ozzy
Queensryche
Savatage
Awesome.
Brent, 2 questions..
1. At what point did you write off Queensryche
2. How would you rank Ozzy's albums?
Me, I skipped Q2K and Tribe, but I did get OM2. I do have a copy of American Soldier.
And I haven't bought an Ozzy album since Ozzmosis.
Looking at my list I am wondering if KISS should be there actually........my first band and quality over a very long period vs the shorter term perfection of bands like DT . Would I rather have the KISS discog or a few DT albums that I love? Tough question but I can't imagine not having Images and Words.
I am loyal to a point but when my most favourite artists release shite I am still pretty quick to switch off , although I always take a passing interest in hope. DT and Queensryche both have some of the most disliked albums in my collection. DT got in there almost exclusively based on Images and Words - without that album they're not even close. Although there's tracks I like on most DT albums I was disappointed to some extent in almost every
album after I&W up until ADTOE..........so a long break there.
Queensryche I thought could do no wrong up until Promised Land , which I thought was half decent but a very bad omen. HITNF cemented that thought and I really didn't bother from there. Like you I bought OM2 but that's it as far as purchases go , up until their most recent. Oh..........my poor sister gave me Dedicated To Crap for Christmas that year , so I have that too sadly.
Ozzy would definitely be my most played artist ever along with Van Halen. Like the initial run of Queensryche I loved pretty much everything from Blizzard to No More Tears and Ozzmosis is also strong, but different. Like you Tim I really haven't bothered since Ozzmosis. Rankings are hard ........maybe I'll do Ozzy next in the metal thread.
