Michael Jackson - Thriller
AC/DC - Back In Black
Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Adele - 21
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
Nirvana - Nevermind
Guns N’ Roses - Appetite For Destruction

So that’s 10 then.  There’s a couple I’m not sure on in Metallica and Santana.  My Dad had that Santana album and used to play it a lot so I may have sat through it all.  My brother had the Metallica album and I’ve certainly heard most of it but not sure I’ve listened to the whole thing in one sitting.

If you consider yourself a fan of prog or even just music, stop what you’re doing, sit down, put some headphones on, and listen to that album immediately.
I would tend to agree with this.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I kind of wonder what allowed Bat Out of Hell to become such a huge thing.
The fact that it's fucking awesome.

This guy gets it.  Ok, so I'm not sure why the OP wants to exclude the Greatest Hits or Soundtracks?  As Stads said, it's easier to include what I haven't listened to:

The Bodyguard (though, I may have heard it once back when it was released)
Dangerous
21
The Immaculate Collection - I'm going to give myself a pass here ... I may not have listened to this album, but I've heard all the songs.
Let's Talk About Love
1
Titanic
Nevermind
Supernatural

So, overall I'm at 24 / 32.  Otherwise, I'm at 18 / 24.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

No, I agree. It's not necessarily a bad song, but it's not something I'll ever intentionally listen to and I don't actual enjoy hearing it whenever it does pop up somewhere. I guess it's a pretty good track. The guitar solo is iconic, and its chorus is very memorable, but is it that good for the amount of time it gets played? I don't know. let's not WildRanger this thread.

Stairway to Heaven has a chorus?

My comment was about Hotel California.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:
