[leafstk]

Many fantastic albums revealed here, keep em' coming people! :D Never been a huge Metallica fan, but "Master of Puppets" was definitely an incredible album. Also, Alice in Chains don't get the credit I believe they deserved, some incredible music in their repertoire before they came to a sad end :(

Tieler, bringing back memories of PE and De La Soul is awesome! :D Thanks, dude ;)

Very happy to see Floyd and Steely Dan get some mention here. And Dave, 2112 was indeed a fantastic Album from Rush :D Baron, Moody Blues and Dire Straits, two more incredible bands! I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Knopfler live and I literally left the show stunned :D
