End Of The Century - Ramones
Seconds of Pleasure - Rockpile
Stray Cats
The Used - The Used
Tell All Your Friends - Taking Back Sunday

I was 27 when it hit so yeah, late in the game. It Jesus every song on that album was HARD. I left off a ton of the 90’s stuff. Stuff I really really love. But it wasn’t my foundation. I did include GD cause it was so so good.

Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica

You're basically my music soul mate. About the only one I would differ with is Radiohead. Replace that with NIN - Pretty Hate Machine.

Good call. That’s just about a coin flip.

Led Zeppelin - I guess II, but fuck, all of them. I thought I’d discovered the holy grail when I dug those out of the record bin in the late 80s.
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Megadeath - Peace Sells but Who’s Buying?
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Prince - again almost any record but probably Sign O the Times. Although if I’m honest I listened to Batman more than any other album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic (I was 19)
Pearl Jam - 10
Phish - Rift (never became a phish head but that was a great album).
Radiohead - The Bends ( but again... all of their albums are great)
Ben Harper - Fight for your Mind
Jeff Buckley - Grace

That’s probably only to like 2000. My tastes have evolved a lot since.

The Cult - Electric

Beastie Boys - Check your head
Nwa
Public Enemy- It takes a nation of millions
Suicidal Tendencies - join the army
The Smiths - most
The cure - standing on a beach
Ramones most
Metallica - master

Later:
Barenaked ladies - rock spectacle
Qotsa - songs for the deaf
Foo fighters - color shape
Hold steady - Boys and girls in america

These are what I was obsessed with at some point... Some overlapping.
