I have been given the heads up to get my roulette underway......we won't be in full swing for 7-10 days though. It took a lot of persistence from Chad to convince me to do one and I know there's probably as much if not more trepidation about finding stuff for mine as there is for Chad's.
I've tried to drop some hints in the upcoming OP but if you're worried about not having anything to submit .............don't be . It took me 15 mins to line up dozens of possibilities for Chad and Tim and also bear in mind that there are gaps in my collection for most bands , even the big ones.
For example:
- I don't have Rocka Rolla by Priest
- I don't have Master of the Moon by Dio
- most of the big power metal bands I just have a few albums. Even for my faves like Strato there's a big gap between Infinite and Polaris. I only have one or two Hammerfall albums, zero Dragonforce, a few Gamma Ray. I have only two Primal Fear albums.
- up until the recent thread feature here on WASP (another all time fave) I was missing most albums after The Crimson Idol.
- the only Maiden songs I have from the reunion era are on From Fear To Eternity (best of)
- Ozzy is an all time fave and I don't have anything post Ozzmosis other than Black Rain.
- I don't have any Tate era Queensryche after Promised Land aside from OM2 and Dedicated to Crap.
- I have very little Malmsteen post Facing The Animal
- I don't have Subhuman Race by Skid Row
- I don't have any of the Gary Moore blues albums other than the first one.
- there are a number of Deris era Helloween albums I don't have
- I don't have Endgame and a number of other recent Megadeth albums
I could go on and on and most of the bands mentioned above made my Top 50..............you guys have
heaps of stuff I don't have. I have given a number of pretty good hints above I think and there's plenty more where that came from if you just ask. if you're desperate float some bands that you know I like and assume I have everything from .......I may not. Just float some ideas via email/PM and I will help.
Obviously the main purpose of the exercise is to discover some new bands - that's what will get me most
- but any album I don't have by any artist will be allowed.
It would be awesome to see as many thread regulars here as possible having a go
And Kade.........I have all my submissions ready for your roulette , unless you throw some curveballs I am not expecting
