Wow.I am an AC/DC fan of over 40 years and you have nailed it. My favourite AC/DC albums are also Powerage and Flick of the Switch. In the days of cassettes I had one on one side, and the other on the other side. Brilliant examples of both (great) singers in their own rights. 👍👍
I had many cassettes just like that too. Those 90 min blanks were perfect for having 2 lps on one tape...mostly. Flick has always been my fave from the Johnson era, since it's release, and Powerage was likely the 1st I had on cassette once they were released here in North America. Both are still played the most. Much appreciate you watching and commenting. Cool hearing everyone's background stories in relation to these classics. Thank you. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘⚡️🤘
Thank you. Much appreciate your kind words. My takes are typically just by the seat of my pants, whatever comes to mind. I really should make notes lol! Thanks again for watching, commenting and subscribing. Cheers Rob.✌️🤘🎶🤘
Wow some excellent selections there! Thanks for giving props to those fine metal bands that seem to go unappreciated by many rock fans. Most of all I love the fact that you put no duds in your list; everybody’s list has one or two that make you say, “WTF?” And Physical Graffiti is the best double album ever made! Nice list.
Hey man, thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time and commenting. Really glad you enjoyed this. Very kind words. I usually avoid top 10 lists as there are so many incredible bands and artists. Still discovering to this day! Lol! Cheers man! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
Hey DoubleT…Glad to step up on board ya R&R Ship here!…Wow, “Stained Class” (1978) is a real stunner for sure, awesome pick there…Like Sabbath’s debut in 1970, NOBODY was doing this type of thing but The Priest, really music from an alternative universe!…They sound better with each passing year…I reach for IM’s “Somewhere In Time”(1986) more than just about any release in their legendary catalog, truly a towering achievement in every respect by the band…Be talkin to ya real soon hopefully!
Appreciate you stopping by, commenting and watching. The list could have easily been two ornthree times longer...but no one wants a video that long! Lol! Thanks again. Cheers. 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
It's part of the vinyl experience for me. The entire ritual isn't complete unless I play the entire album. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
My favorite ten...eleven (No order) Iron Maiden Killers Mob Rules Heaven and Hell Screaming for Vengeance British Steel Moving Pictures 2112 Stained Class The Number of the Beast Holy Diver
I could definitely make a case for any of those in my list as well. Love that you have three maiden and three Priest on that list...Rush as well as Mr. RJD well represented. Love your list man! Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@twangersturntable I went fishing with my friend, Dave, as a teenager. He brought a boombox and Screaming for Vengeance on cassette. I was immediately hooked. Priest was my first love in music. The Godzilla of metal. His older brother invited me over a few weeks later for beers and a game of pool. He played British Steel on 8 track. That album solidified things. I became a Judas Priest addict. Then I branched out to appreciate Iron Maiden. Rainbow Rising introduced me to Dio shortly after. I went down the NWBHM rabbit hole. Fully committed.
Great albums you showed! I don't remember this thread going around, but definitely a cool one. I'm a big fan of Masters of Reality! Haven't listened to Diary of a Mad Man in a long time. I'll put that on the list of re-discoveries as well as Iron Maiden. Hope all is well! Best, Steve
Thank you Steve. Just a few of my faves, but definitely heavy rotation these past few years since re-aquired on vinyl. Always had them on other formats, but I think if memory serves me the thread was about a person most listened to in the past year, 2, 10, or lifetime. It was very open to interpretation or ones prerogative if I recall. Thank you for taking the time bud. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I can relate to that man. So many great memories of the people, places, and the things one has experienced associated with these classic artist and groups. Honestly, those are the things I think about when listening and sharing. The loved ones whom are either past on (R.I.P.) or still with us and maybe living afar. Or those who are fortunate enough to hang with in the present and remember these things together and create new memories. Most of the crew I grew up with and shared the Denim and Leather uniforms with, do live quite far away. Anyway. Thank you for watching and sharing Martin. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Excellent top albums! Stained Class would be mine for Judas Priest as well. Painkiller was my first (it was new at the time) but Stained Class is the one I keep coming back to. I don't keep track either so I'm not sure what my most spun would be. Haha, I sympathize with you about the threads, there are so many good ones I want to participate in that I don't find the time to make my own ideas for videos. Great video, cheers Mark!
Hey Scott. Yeah, Priest are one of those bands where I go through phases when I'll reach for a certain lp for months at a time more than others. Defenders was likely the one I spun most in the mid 80's as I checked out when Turbo dropped, but now I totally dig all their albums, even the Ripper stuff. Stained has been spun most for likely the last decade though, which I didn't mention, but that's kinda what I was thinking as I pulled these 10 or so lp's. Thank for stopping by man! Much appreciated. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@brucedickinson12 Love Sad Wings. It is an amazing album and such an evolution from Rock a Rolla. I always liked the sound on that album and although he disappeared into obscurity, I loved Alan Moores drumming. Him and Hill really seemed to click. Classic JP album. I wish they could get the rights of the 1st two lps from Gull records and give them proper remasters though. One of the best album covers ever though! Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I definitely like The Final Cut. I know it is officially a Pink Floyd album, but unofficially it is a Roger Waters project at that point...even The Wall. As it is mostly comprised of leftovers from The Wall session's.(Cool tidbit you may already know, is the song of the opening scene of the Film "The Wall" is on The Final Cut album - "When The Tigers Broke Free"). The biggest difference being that on The Wall both Wright and Mason played significantly during recording sessions, where as with The Final Cut new material, they did not...with only limited contributions from Mason on drums and nothing from Wright at all whom had left following The Wall sessions (or during depending on who tells the story lol). Gilmour barely played on The Final Cut for that matter...or at least not wholeheartedly according to him. Having said all that, like I said, I actually love the album lol and is part of my vinyl collection. Thank you for stopping by, watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Have always love Powerage! Cliff Willams first on bass after Evans departed and Rudd and Williams just clicked imho. Not that Evans and Rudd didn't...but one can certainly hear the difference (for better or worse as I suppose that is subjective/opinion) from Let There Be Rock to Powerage. Highway was my fave with Bon for many years, but I just seem to grab Powerage more these days. Maybe Highway got overplayed in my circles so it's nice to hear something everyone else isn't blasting! Anyway. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I could have easily included a few Rush if doing a list of all time most spun, lol! Absolutely one of my faves. I'm more of the early albums period, 70's largely, possibly up to Power Windows, though I really love Roll The Bones out of the 80's era too. Actually, there really isn't any Rush I dislike to be fair. Much appreciate you watching and commenting. The sub is a welocome and also appreciated bonus. Thank you. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Wasn't a big fan of Iron Maiden before Piece of Mind, but loved the album cover for Killers. A sample top favorite vinyl albums were, (and still are),: Iron Maiden- Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son KISS- Creatures of the Night Death Angel- Voracious Souls and Frolic Through the Park Forbidden- Twisted into Form Black Sabbath- Master of Reality and Heaven and Hell Motley Crue- Shout at the Devil and Theatre of Pain Ozzy- The Ultimate Sin Testament- The Legacy and Souls of Black Loudness- Thunder from the East Overkill- Under the Influence and The Years of Decay Fates Warning-No Exit
I totally get it with Maiden. I think it's just about when one begins listening to an artist and the memories perhaps associated with it. That is a great list you provided. Everyone's list tells a story and they are important parts of their life story I believe. Thank you for sharing yours. Appreciate you watching and commenting Douglas. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Diary of a madman definitely was as good as it got back then. We had a bootleg live ozzy on tape that we destroyed because we played it so much. Luckily it was later released as the Randy tribute album so we got to listen to it for many more years. Great time to be a rock fan.
Absolutely! Bought that tribute cassette when it came out too. So many of these lp's have remained special and are regularly spun still to this day, for not just me as this vid is a testimony. So glad you dug the video and thank you for sharing your memories. Such a great time for music...for METAL! lol! Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Hey Trevor! Long time man. Good to hear from you. That title track is so freaking awesome! I don't think people give it the props for it's lyrical depth, (certainly for it's time when schizophrenia or split personality was taboo and hush hush, to speak of it maybe suggested one was "crazy") then the production by Max Norman (even though Ozzy and Rhoads are credited as well...that's mostly monetary with the label I believe) the instruments arrangements & complexity, the symphony elements, just wow! Much better sound than Blizzard imho. Subjective, I know. Norman actually produced many of my fave metal albums in the 80's and beyond. Anyway, rambling now. I just love that album so much but can't ever share it because of the strict copyright of the Osbourne corp! lol! Thanks for commenting bud. Much appreciate it. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Top choices! Crue’s first album and AC/DC’s Powerage are stellar. Eclectic picks. Cool to see a PiL album in the background as well. Didn’t realize Ginger Baker played on that album until recently. Stumbled upon your channel and think I’ll subscribe. Like the vibe. Take care…
Awesome man! Thank you for the kind words. I love a great variety of music (certainly more than I did in the 80's lol) and am really just delving into some of Johnny's music after The Pistols. My older brother was into punk, so I knew of alot of it, but it wasn't my thing back then. Thank you stopping by and commenting. The subbing is an added bonus and much appreciated if you decide to. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Hey Rick. Good to hear from you bud! I'll definitely head over and check out your vid. I had to struggle to figure out how to pick the "10 most spun"...lifetime? year? week? Lol! In my mind I just went last 12 months. Anyway. Been a while...albeit I was away for a time as well. Just life stuff. UA-cam is but a small part of my life. Glad to have you stop by and comment my friend. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Absolutely! I may not like everything Metallica has done equally, and certainly some are all time faves, but there isn't anything they've done I don't like...though LuLu is forgettable. I understand that was their show of appreciation and respect to Lou in the form of collaborating on that, so I can appreciate it and likely have only listened to it 2 or 3 times...but I own it. Lol! Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Honestly my top 10 is too tough, I just went the past year top 10. Although more than a couple from the 80's would be top 10 since that is when I really started getting my own music. Top 10 or 20 is hard man! I'd have an easier time with top 50! Cheers Jason. Cheers bud. ✌️ 🍻🤘🎶🤘
You have some awesome picks on here Mark. Master of Reality would probably make my list. I give you props for doing this because I’m not sure if I could. Or maybe just not the patience for it lol. I’d never keep a spreadsheet of what I listen to. Music is all about freedom and feeling. I wasn’t surprised at all by your Elton pick because as you were going through your list I kept thinking “Does he just listen to heavy metal?”. Most people who love music like we do tend to have a little variety so I figured you did too. Physical Graffiti is definitely a great pick. I agree, my love for the first two Maiden albums has only grown over the years. I like your statement about whichever album you are listening to at the moment is your favorite. Rock hard, ride free Mark!🤘🏻 Gary
Hey Gary! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. This video has actually given me some ideas to create others which is one of the great byproducts of these threads, and more importantly, the people in the vc whom are responsible. Truth is, I've been pretty diverse from the get go, being the second youngest in a family of seven, there was stuff on our turntable from Johnny Cash, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Hank Sr. to Joe Cocker, April Wine, Rush, Rainbow, Queen, Cheap Trick, The Clash, Ramones, to the Commodores, Jackson 5, Richie Havens, Hendrix, and although I didn't necessarily have them on constant rotation, certainly familiar enough to be influenced...then I just leaned towards the heavier stuff. Like you said, I think most music lovers are pretty diversified. Thanks for the kind words and support Gary. I'd love to see more of these pop up. Maybe even ten of your most spun? But yeah, it changes pretty frequently obviously. Cheers bud!🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Rare to see someone show 10 album where I own all of them. Some on CD. Master of Reality got picked up for me at the post office in Oslo by my friend today. I forgot to change my address so it got sent there, it’s part of my Vinyl Me Please subscription. The Ozzy I want to add on vinyl, but fun thing, I own, 4 Funko pops and the one I got this fall was Diary of a Madman cover repriduction! Ha ha. And I got the Mötley Crüe box this fall, which was nice as my old copy of their 3 first albums are not… in the best shape! 😳Cheers Mark 🎸
Master Of Reality is "unofficially" my fave from the Oz era. Though I feel like every time I say that I have to follow with also saying, I LOVE all Sabbath of the Ozzy and Dio era so having a fave is such a ridiculous concept. Sabbath are one of my Mt. Rushmore of bands. 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable I’m very fond of Black Sabbath, perhaps a little extra for the Dio years, but I think Dio was amazing. But I also love the Seventh Star album to be honest. One of several heavy metal vinyl albums I’ve lost to various reasons over they years. Like Live Evil, Ozzy’s Speak of the Devil and my old Saxons. Annoys me even now, years later. Oh, and my Adrian Smith (ASAP), where did THAT go to?
Bark at the Moon was the second album I heard for the first time back in 1986. It was my introduction to metal…. this album sealed the deal with me and my Metal adventure all these years. I have not looked back. I have 4 copies of it and every time I come across, I always pick it up. Cheers bud 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 JC/Miami
That is a great place to start, wow! Jake E. Lee is one of my faves (love the Badlands stuff he created too) and for a guy whom was cast into a position to replace arguably one of the greatest (certainly one of the most recognized) in Rhoads, he excelled. Some would say surpassed Rhoads. Opinions always vary and everyone is entitled. I have two copies of Bark At The Moon, the North American and UK. Much appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Love these stories of the metal seeds being planted. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Dug this episode and you and I would never spar over which song was to be cranked on the radio/turntable/CD player/streamed/cassette/eight track!!! Every single album you talked about is freakin' oxygen for me - essential listening! Just hit 60 yrs. mold, and listening habits still are geared toward the hard and heavy, but have always appreciated a wide spectrum of music, good music in any genre grabs my attention and my taste in music expands as the yrs. go by, as it should. Have about eight thousand CDs and a couple hundred records, as my goal is to eventually own EVERY great album ever made in metal/hard rock/rock/blues/soul/pop/country/rockabilly/funk. The chase is almost as good as the catch, hunting down all the killer music thats been produced! You gave great comments about each album and it's cool to see your obvious love of devil music....errt...I mean heavy metal. I am looking to get a much better turntable and get back into collecting vinyl, your album displays on those shelves really is motivating me to get back into vinyl. Here are my ten most played albums: Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti AC/DC - Powerage Rush - Moving Pictures Motorhead - Overkill Metallica - Master Of Puppets Megadeth - Rust In Peace Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast Van Halen - Fair Warning Aerosmith - Rocks Slayer - South Of Heaven Honorable Mentions: Testament - The New Order Death Angel - Act III Overkill - Years Of Decay Exodus - Bonded By Blood Kreator - Pleasure To Kill Anthrax - Among The Living Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power Opeth - Blackwater Park Non Metal Most Played: Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight Neil Young - Live Rust Beatles - White Album Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers The Who - Live At Leeds Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus Ramones - Rocket To Russia Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bullocks Black Flag - Damaged Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger George Jones - Box Set The Cure - Disintegration New Order - Republic U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Yeah, this list could go on and on and on.... and it does! Could list hundreds of others, constantly playing music! Really enjoyed the hell out of your video - keep it cranked, amigo!
That's awesome! Thank you. My goal too is to reaquire everything I used to have and get it on vinyl...though that is easier said than done as I often find things I never had and buy them when the impulse hits! All good stuff man! Good luck with the perpetual hunt and defending the faith! Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Yeah dude , it's really hard to touch Diary Of A Madman, such a banger of a song and record. Just a classic! Too Fast is such a gritty Sunset Strip banger!! Great picks brother, all rule!! Gonna jump on this thread. Cheers
Yeah man! So killer! You should jump on this thread. I just went with the most recent "most spun" as I don't know what the original creator intended. If I did 10 most played/spun ever? I don't know. Number 1, It would have to include more than 10! No way I could narrow down all time like that. Maybe 20, 30...50! Lol! Thanks for the watch and comment man! I went over and subbed you. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Had Hemingway lived to the 1980s, I'd have thanked him for composing my gateway to one of Metallica's best songs. I'm sure that Papa would have loved Ride the Lightning.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Honestly didn't see it previously. Thank you for stopping by and watching man. I do appreciate it. I try and reply to everyone so hopefully it's better late than never. Lol! Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Another awesome video buddy. I love it. You and I have pretty much exactly same fav albums. Also. I gotta give you a virtual high five for The Cars. I absolutely love them. Love their whole catalog. I really gotta jump on this thread. What criteria? Only one album from each band??
Hey Brett. I don't even know the criteria or who started it lol! I just thought it was one I could easily get behind. Easily being the operative word! I just kinda mixed in my most heavily (not in terms of sound...that's a different list entirely) spun vinyl recently. Recent, I defined as the past twelve months. That's all. Although I do have some other ideas because of this great thread. Glad you dug it my friend. And yes, The Cars are a band I've loved since my oldest brother first brought home that record in 1978! One of the few I can say that about. Thanks for stopping by and commenting man. Really appreciate it bud. Cheers Brett. 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Like you, I listen to albums, not songs. Though I admit, I have often listened to one side and changed to something else, but never just a song or two. It would be tough to nail this down for me, because sadly, more recent purchases get spun more recently, and time to spend going back and spinning older stuff, is less common these days. I think I could do something like this, but more of an approach of the most frequently go-do album by a band, which sounds maybe similar to your approach. And I'm 100 in agreeance on the whole hair/glam American metal remarks.
Hey Jeff. For sure there are times I'll listen to a single side lp. But usually it's an artist where I'm listening and think of one of their albums I like better, so I swap lol! I just did that yesterday funny enough. I was playing Combat Rock by Clash and swapped after side one to spin their debut. Never heard the term Hair Metal until the 90's! We sure as hell never coined it. That was a derogatory term I guess. I don't know honestly, but it's irrelevant to me these days. I like what I like and don't shop or listen based on genre. Cheers man! Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated. ✌️ 🍻🤘🎶🤘
Definetly part of my music library since it came out. Love The Cult...especially Love and Electric lp's. The Doors are obviously classic as well. Thanks for watching amd commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I don't pull many off the shelves that often but some of my most spun would be Deicide - Deicide Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos Cancer - To the Gory End Slayer - Show No Mercy Ozric Tentacles - Pungent Efflugent My most listened to albums would be a little different. You're on number 3 for Elton if you count all 3 Maiden albums! I definitely go for albums from my youth more so than stuff I've discovered over the last few years. Stellar list Mark 🍻🤘🏻
That's a list I could definitely hang and listen with you man. I'm not very familier with Deicide or Cancer, but I'll listen to almost anything (with a few exceptions) definetly very familiar with the others, more so Slayer and Ozric. Cheers Simon! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Not a bad choice in the bunch. Many of these would be in my top 10 as well Especially Diary of a Madman. It's such a perfect album, and apparently, it was rushed by Ozzy, and Randy wasn't happy with some of the solos he laid down for it. I can't imagine what he would've come up with given time to arrange the solos differently. Also, Stained Class does not get nearly enough recognition. Halford's vocals are perfect all the way through!!! Appreciate the shoutout, and I feel the same way. Music speaks to me like nothing else can. I'll cosign your grandson's sentiments, get those drums set up hahaha!
Lol! Thanks bud. Not enough waking hours in a day...and suddenly it's time for sleep and then not enough sleeping hours! Vicious cycle! Hoping the drums will be up by the end of the summer, but surely by fall when it's more indoor time here. Madman is definitely in my conversation as best of all time! We can only imagine what Randy would've/could've done. Just glad we can hear what he did do. ❤️🔥🎸Thanks man! Appreciate you. Enjoy the rest of your day Mickey. Cheers bud! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
I never thought I’d hear anyone say that Flick Of The Switch is their favorite Brian Johnson era AC/DC. I’m the same. And I get so many weird looks when I say that. But truly don’t care. Best material and best sound.
I love it! Even knowing all the reasons it shouldn't be good. Mutt Lang is gone, Angus & Malcom pretty much self produced, Rudd was barely able to make the recording sessions...but managed to lay down all necessary tracks before getting fired (Wright appears in videos, but only joined after the lp was wrapped and extensive auditions were held). To me it is great story telling (mostly based on the madness of touring through Back In Black and ...About To Rock) a stripped down, no reverb, raw as AC/DC used to be...and so I've always dug it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@SpenceCurry I actually don't mind Fly and Who Made Who albums. They just don't stack up quite as well to me. But everyone has their faves and opinions vary. That's what makes us all want to share. Thanks for watching and commenting Joey. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I want to like it but just don’t. Think they got worse with every album after back in black until the razors edge return to form. Good that you like it though.
Yeah my opinion is that Brian’s voice really started going downhill after Flick of the Switch. And they just plain lost their hard edge. Just my to cents
My list, no order, an album per artist. Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon Dire Straits 1st album Television - Marquee Mon The Smiths - The Queen is Dead Waterboys - The whole of the moon Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis? Don MacLean - American Pie Neutral Milk Hotel - In a aeroplane over the sea Steely Dan - Can't buy a thrill Jethro Tull- Songs from the wood The Chameleons - Strange Times Sufjan Stevens - Illinois Gang of Four - Entertainment! Peter Murphy - Deep Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert Slint - Spiderland
Hey Vayres! Great list! I've got a few of those...love all the ones I know, especially Crisis? What Crisis? My fist ever Supertramp. A few of those I've been meaning to grab on vinyl as I scan the mom and pop stores but haven't pulled the trigger. Floyd, of course...that's a mainstay. Same for Dire Straits. Television I've heard and really dig. Smiths I don't have, but want. MacLean I have. Nuetral Milk Hotel...need to check them out. The Chameleons I've been curious about. Any suggestions on what lp to start with for The Chameleons? Sufjan Stevens I have never heard of...I don't think. Entertainment I have and really dig that one and hoping to expand the Gang collection. Haven't heard any of Peter Murphys solo or post Bauhaus stuff. And Keith Jarret I am not familiar with at all...but admittedly jazz isn't really my jam. In fact I immediately thought of Leif Garret lol! Much appreciate you watching and taking the time for a thoughtful comment. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
We did call it "Glam" and "pop metal" , but in no way did we call it HAIR METAL! I hate that name! Grunge bands starting calling them that, it was meant to be derogatory!
Hey man! Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate you taking the time and doing so. Can't recall hearing any of those terms in the early 80's, (80 - 83) until the mid 80's (84-85 likely the 1st time) and then later part of the 80's for stuff lumped in with metal (opinions vary if it's indeed "metal" lol) referenced as hair metal. Granted, I suggest that may have as much to do with where one resides and the media they're exposed to. Glad you dug the video man. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Lol! Absolutely man! The list honestly should have included Tank as I just got that on vinyl after wanting it for years. I always had it on an old casstte, but it was always just a blank copy and never sounded great. It's tough to do top 10...but I think I might try a top 20-30 one of these times. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate it. Cheers Tom! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
I like all of your 10 albums. which album do you like better To Fast for love or Shout at the Devil? The magazines like hit parader and Metal edge have Shout at the devil in the top 100 To Fast for love didn't make it and I know the people who work for those magazines know more about music than most people. 3 vocalist if you want to count axl their main vocalist are Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. so you like Powerage over Highway to hell? My favorite Bon Scott album is Highway to hell my favorite Brian John son aare Back in Black and For those about to rock. so being Stained class is older than Screaming how was it in your teen years that you like Screaming over Stained class ?
Hey Mark. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I personally prefer Too Fast For Love, but the margin between my faves are so narrow, it's almost not even worth mentioning. That is exactly why I don't really do rankings of albums by artist...especially artists and musicians I love. I've never put much stock into what journalists/media hype on what they think or their opinions. Whether that was in print back in the day, or music television, which frankly didn't play much of the musoc I dig anyway. Especially back then. Lol! I base my taste on what "I" like, or what appeals to me when I hear it. As for AC/DC. I didn't count Axl as he was recruited only for live shows to fill in for Johnson and never recorded any studio albums with AC/DC. This is the similar reason I didn't include their original vocalist Dave Evans, although at least in his case he appeared on their very first studio recording and subsequent 7" single "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl". As for Priest. As mentioned above, I find it near impossible to rank albums by bands I truly love, Judas Preists being near the top of that list. This list however, was more about the ten most I've listened to in the past year or two, and in recent years Stained Class has been spun more then Vengeance. But in 1982, I was 14 and Screaming had just come out. I hadn't been into Priest (I had heard of JP, mostly via friends and older siblings with British Steel, Hell Bent For Leather/Killing Machine and even Stained Class, but I personally didn't own any yet) so that being kind of my formative years in metal, that release just became my fave for many years. As I've said, I believe often ones first album or introduction to a band/artist (especially in those formative years, teens specifically I think) becomes ones favourite just based on a sentimental factors associated with friends, loved ones etc. Thanks again for watching and commenting. I appreciate you doing so. Cheers Mark! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Elvis was on heavy rotation for most of my childhood, and Aug.16, 1977 was a sad day. I was not quite a teen yet, so I remember vividly my mom crying. I do listen to Elvis from time to time still, especially his earliest material. Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I am odd in that I have never cared for Led Zeppelin. All members had great talent, but the music just didn't move me. Bonham was a monster drummer for sure. I love the first two Robert Plant solo albums.
That's the beauty of music, and thankfully there is enough for everyone! Lol! I also really love those early albums of Robert Plant's solo career. Phil Collin, Barriemore Barlow and Cozy Powell (some of my faves as a youngster) provide drum duties on those first two albums which helps, although I have always enjoyed Plant's vocals anyway. Appreciate you stopping by and watching and leaving a comment. Thank you. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Elton John? You’ve gone to far Twanger! Your out of the club 😀some good points back then it was metal to many genres these days personally hate the term hair metal, throwing on an album I generally listen to the whole thing.. CDs I found my self skipping tracks… Master of reality and Diary would probably also slide into my most listened as well along with many more!
Lol! All good man! My dues where paid years ago as a defender of the faith, denim and leather with blood, guts & beer! I'm an honorary card bearer of the club for life!! Seriously though. I've been a fan of EJ probably as long as I can remember thanks to older siblings. The same turntables that spun Nazareth, Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Kiss, Trooper, BTO, Rush and Rainbow, also spun EJ, ABBA, ELO, Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens in our house. Lol! Gravity always keeps me grounded though...and gravity has a stronger pull when one heart is metal!! 🤘🤘(wow! I totally just channeled 18 yr old Twanger there) Thanks for stopping by bud.

I am familiar with Satan and used to have their debut "Court In The Act" on a cassette back in the early 80's. Another great NWOBHM band man! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶👋
Thank you Margaret. I love pretty much all Sabbath iterations, but especially Ozzy as vocalist...hard to pick a fave though lol. This just happens to be the one I listened to the most in the past year or two. Thanks for stopping by, watching and commenting. Cheers! ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Girl power! Definetly heard of them. Can't say they are something I enjoy listening to, I couldn't name a song title though. But indeed I remember them being quite popular in the 90's. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Wow.I am an AC/DC fan of over 40 years and you have nailed it. My favourite AC/DC albums are also Powerage and Flick of the Switch. In the days of cassettes I had one on one side, and the other on the other side. Brilliant examples of both (great) singers in their own rights. 👍👍
I had many cassettes just like that too. Those 90 min blanks were perfect for having 2 lps on one tape...mostly. Flick has always been my fave from the Johnson era, since it's release, and Powerage was likely the 1st I had on cassette once they were released here in North America. Both are still played the most. Much appreciate you watching and commenting. Cool hearing everyone's background stories in relation to these classics. Thank you. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘⚡️🤘
Really interesting take on these albums and enjoyed watching you go through them....subscribed :-)
Thank you. Much appreciate your kind words. My takes are typically just by the seat of my pants, whatever comes to mind. I really should make notes lol! Thanks again for watching, commenting and subscribing. Cheers Rob.✌️🤘🎶🤘
Wow some excellent selections there! Thanks for giving props to those fine metal bands that seem to go unappreciated by many rock fans. Most of all I love the fact that you put no duds in your list; everybody’s list has one or two that make you say, “WTF?” And Physical Graffiti is the best double album ever made! Nice list.
Hey man, thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time and commenting. Really glad you enjoyed this. Very kind words. I usually avoid top 10 lists as there are so many incredible bands and artists. Still discovering to this day! Lol! Cheers man! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
Hey DoubleT…Glad to step up on board ya R&R Ship here!…Wow, “Stained Class” (1978) is a real stunner for sure, awesome pick there…Like Sabbath’s debut in 1970, NOBODY was doing this type of thing but The Priest, really music from an alternative universe!…They sound better with each passing year…I reach for IM’s “Somewhere In Time”(1986) more than just about any release in their legendary catalog, truly a towering achievement in every respect by the band…Be talkin to ya real soon hopefully!
Great choices some of my favourite albums there take car cheers
Appreciate you stopping by, commenting and watching. The list could have easily been two ornthree times longer...but no one wants a video that long! Lol! Thanks again. Cheers. 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Like you I listen to an album complete 💯
It's part of the vinyl experience for me. The entire ritual isn't complete unless I play the entire album. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
My favorite ten...eleven (No order)
Iron Maiden
Killers
Mob Rules
Heaven and Hell
Screaming for Vengeance
British Steel
Moving Pictures
2112
Stained Class
The Number of the Beast
Holy Diver
I could definitely make a case for any of those in my list as well. Love that you have three maiden and three Priest on that list...Rush as well as Mr. RJD well represented. Love your list man! Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Diary of a Madman is amazing too.
@@twangersturntable I love your list too. The Cars debut was AWESOME.
@twangersturntable I went fishing with my friend, Dave, as a teenager. He brought a boombox and Screaming for Vengeance on cassette. I was immediately hooked. Priest was my first love in music. The Godzilla of metal. His older brother invited me over a few weeks later for beers and a game of pool. He played British Steel on 8 track. That album solidified things. I became a Judas Priest addict. Then I branched out to appreciate Iron Maiden. Rainbow Rising introduced me to Dio shortly after. I went down the NWBHM rabbit hole. Fully committed.
Great albums you showed! I don't remember this thread going around, but definitely a cool one. I'm a big fan of Masters of Reality! Haven't listened to Diary of a Mad Man in a long time. I'll put that on the list of re-discoveries as well as Iron Maiden. Hope all is well! Best, Steve
Thank you Steve. Just a few of my faves, but definitely heavy rotation these past few years since re-aquired on vinyl. Always had them on other formats, but I think if memory serves me the thread was about a person most listened to in the past year, 2, 10, or lifetime. It was very open to interpretation or ones prerogative if I recall. Thank you for taking the time bud. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Seeing that saxon cover behind you brought tears to my eyes , so many memories , cheers brother 👍
I can relate to that man. So many great memories of the people, places, and the things one has experienced associated with these classic artist and groups. Honestly, those are the things I think about when listening and sharing. The loved ones whom are either past on (R.I.P.) or still with us and maybe living afar. Or those who are fortunate enough to hang with in the present and remember these things together and create new memories. Most of the crew I grew up with and shared the Denim and Leather uniforms with, do live quite far away. Anyway. Thank you for watching and sharing Martin. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
great choices, mark!!
Thank you David. Appreciate you stopping by and commenting man. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Excellent top albums! Stained Class would be mine for Judas Priest as well. Painkiller was my first (it was new at the time) but Stained Class is the one I keep coming back to. I don't keep track either so I'm not sure what my most spun would be. Haha, I sympathize with you about the threads, there are so many good ones I want to participate in that I don't find the time to make my own ideas for videos. Great video, cheers Mark!
Hey Scott. Yeah, Priest are one of those bands where I go through phases when I'll reach for a certain lp for months at a time more than others. Defenders was likely the one I spun most in the mid 80's as I checked out when Turbo dropped, but now I totally dig all their albums, even the Ripper stuff. Stained has been spun most for likely the last decade though, which I didn't mention, but that's kinda what I was thinking as I pulled these 10 or so lp's. Thank for stopping by man! Much appreciated. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Sad wings of destiny for me
@@brucedickinson12 Love Sad Wings. It is an amazing album and such an evolution from Rock a Rolla. I always liked the sound on that album and although he disappeared into obscurity, I loved Alan Moores drumming. Him and Hill really seemed to click. Classic JP album. I wish they could get the rights of the 1st two lps from Gull records and give them proper remasters though. One of the best album covers ever though! Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Stained Class is a masterpiece.
Classics. I have 5 of these 🙂
The Cars, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Iron Maiden & Sabbath perhaps? 🤔
@@twangersturntable I miscounted! Sabbath, Ozzy, AC/DC, Elton John, The Cars, Zeppelin.
I have 7 of them. Dont have Led Zep, Elton and missing the Masters of Universe album.
Favorite Floyd...The Final Cut. I love music channels! Thanks for the great video.
I definitely like The Final Cut. I know it is officially a Pink Floyd album, but unofficially it is a Roger Waters project at that point...even The Wall. As it is mostly comprised of leftovers from The Wall session's.(Cool tidbit you may already know, is the song of the opening scene of the Film "The Wall" is on The Final Cut album - "When The Tigers Broke Free"). The biggest difference being that on The Wall both Wright and Mason played significantly during recording sessions, where as with The Final Cut new material, they did not...with only limited contributions from Mason on drums and nothing from Wright at all whom had left following The Wall sessions (or during depending on who tells the story lol). Gilmour barely played on The Final Cut for that matter...or at least not wholeheartedly according to him. Having said all that, like I said, I actually love the album lol and is part of my vinyl collection. Thank you for stopping by, watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@twangersturntable I love Animals too. The Dark Side of the Moon 1974 Live at Wembley recording is also excellent.
Thumbs up 👍 for Powerage, nice picks
Have always love Powerage! Cliff Willams first on bass after Evans departed and Rudd and Williams just clicked imho. Not that Evans and Rudd didn't...but one can certainly hear the difference (for better or worse as I suppose that is subjective/opinion) from Let There Be Rock to Powerage. Highway was my fave with Bon for many years, but I just seem to grab Powerage more these days. Maybe Highway got overplayed in my circles so it's nice to hear something everyone else isn't blasting! Anyway. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Powerage is my favorite AC/DC album.
Wow,I would have the very same picks, except i would have Blizzard of ozz in there somewhere...
Great 👍 video my 10 would be a load of Rush subscribed cheers
I could have easily included a few Rush if doing a list of all time most spun, lol! Absolutely one of my faves. I'm more of the early albums period, 70's largely, possibly up to Power Windows, though I really love Roll The Bones out of the 80's era too. Actually, there really isn't any Rush I dislike to be fair. Much appreciate you watching and commenting. The sub is a welocome and also appreciated bonus. Thank you. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Wasn't a big fan of Iron Maiden before Piece of Mind, but loved the album cover for Killers. A sample top favorite vinyl albums were, (and still are),:
Iron Maiden- Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son
KISS- Creatures of the Night
Death Angel- Voracious Souls and Frolic Through the Park
Forbidden- Twisted into Form
Black Sabbath- Master of Reality and Heaven and Hell
Motley Crue- Shout at the Devil and Theatre of Pain
Ozzy- The Ultimate Sin
Testament- The Legacy and Souls of Black
Loudness- Thunder from the East
Overkill- Under the Influence and The Years of Decay
Fates Warning-No Exit
I totally get it with Maiden. I think it's just about when one begins listening to an artist and the memories perhaps associated with it. That is a great list you provided. Everyone's list tells a story and they are important parts of their life story I believe. Thank you for sharing yours. Appreciate you watching and commenting Douglas. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Diary of a madman definitely was as good as it got back then. We had a bootleg live ozzy on tape that we destroyed because we played it so much. Luckily it was later released as the Randy tribute album so we got to listen to it for many more years. Great time to be a rock fan.
Absolutely! Bought that tribute cassette when it came out too. So many of these lp's have remained special and are regularly spun still to this day, for not just me as this vid is a testimony. So glad you dug the video and thank you for sharing your memories. Such a great time for music...for METAL! lol! Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Great video
Thank you! Much appreciate you watching and your kind words. Cheers! ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Those two are my favorites. 🤘
Awesome! Me too! Thank for watching. Cheers ✌️ 🍻 🤘🎶🤘
Excellent selections Mark! I wholeheartedly agree with Diary Of A Madman. The title track alone crushes anything Ozzy has ever done before or since.
Hey Trevor! Long time man. Good to hear from you. That title track is so freaking awesome! I don't think people give it the props for it's lyrical depth, (certainly for it's time when schizophrenia or split personality was taboo and hush hush, to speak of it maybe suggested one was "crazy") then the production by Max Norman (even though Ozzy and Rhoads are credited as well...that's mostly monetary with the label I believe) the instruments arrangements & complexity, the symphony elements, just wow! Much better sound than Blizzard imho. Subjective, I know. Norman actually produced many of my fave metal albums in the 80's and beyond. Anyway, rambling now. I just love that album so much but can't ever share it because of the strict copyright of the Osbourne corp! lol! Thanks for commenting bud. Much appreciate it. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Top choices! Crue’s first album and AC/DC’s Powerage are stellar. Eclectic picks. Cool to see a PiL album in the background as well. Didn’t realize Ginger Baker played on that album until recently. Stumbled upon your channel and think I’ll subscribe. Like the vibe. Take care…
Awesome man! Thank you for the kind words. I love a great variety of music (certainly more than I did in the 80's lol) and am really just delving into some of Johnny's music after The Pistols. My older brother was into punk, so I knew of alot of it, but it wasn't my thing back then. Thank you stopping by and commenting. The subbing is an added bonus and much appreciated if you decide to. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Seeing 'album' on the back wall is fantastic. Public Image Ltd., killed it with that record, and having Steve Vai on guitar didn't hurt things!!!
Absolutely that PIL lp is excellent. Thank you for the compliment. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
Just posted my response to the thread. I’m a spreadsheet nerd. Good showing!
Hey Rick. Good to hear from you bud! I'll definitely head over and check out your vid. I had to struggle to figure out how to pick the "10 most spun"...lifetime? year? week? Lol! In my mind I just went last 12 months. Anyway. Been a while...albeit I was away for a time as well. Just life stuff. UA-cam is but a small part of my life. Glad to have you stop by and comment my friend. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Hell yeah, I'm the same way with Metallica. My second favorite song from them is Fixxxer. 🤘
Absolutely! I may not like everything Metallica has done equally, and certainly some are all time faves, but there isn't anything they've done I don't like...though LuLu is forgettable. I understand that was their show of appreciation and respect to Lou in the form of collaborating on that, so I can appreciate it and likely have only listened to it 2 or 3 times...but I own it. Lol! Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Oh man some classic 80s Metal in there! I almost put Motley Crue in my top 10 listens. Its def in my top 20.
Honestly my top 10 is too tough, I just went the past year top 10. Although more than a couple from the 80's would be top 10 since that is when I really started getting my own music. Top 10 or 20 is hard man! I'd have an easier time with top 50! Cheers Jason. Cheers bud. ✌️ 🍻🤘🎶🤘
You have some awesome picks on here Mark. Master of Reality would probably make my list. I give you props for doing this because I’m not sure if I could. Or maybe just not the patience for it lol. I’d never keep a spreadsheet of what I listen to. Music is all about freedom and feeling. I wasn’t surprised at all by your Elton pick because as you were going through your list I kept thinking “Does he just listen to heavy metal?”. Most people who love music like we do tend to have a little variety so I figured you did too. Physical Graffiti is definitely a great pick. I agree, my love for the first two Maiden albums has only grown over the years. I like your statement about whichever album you are listening to at the moment is your favorite. Rock hard, ride free Mark!🤘🏻
Gary
Hey Gary! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting. This video has actually given me some ideas to create others which is one of the great byproducts of these threads, and more importantly, the people in the vc whom are responsible. Truth is, I've been pretty diverse from the get go, being the second youngest in a family of seven, there was stuff on our turntable from Johnny Cash, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Hank Sr. to Joe Cocker, April Wine, Rush, Rainbow, Queen, Cheap Trick, The Clash, Ramones, to the Commodores, Jackson 5, Richie Havens, Hendrix, and although I didn't necessarily have them on constant rotation, certainly familiar enough to be influenced...then I just leaned towards the heavier stuff. Like you said, I think most music lovers are pretty diversified. Thanks for the kind words and support Gary. I'd love to see more of these pop up. Maybe even ten of your most spun? But yeah, it changes pretty frequently obviously. Cheers bud!🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Rare to see someone show 10 album where I own all of them. Some on CD. Master of Reality got picked up for me at the post office in Oslo by my friend today. I forgot to change my address so it got sent there, it’s part of my Vinyl Me Please subscription. The Ozzy I want to add on vinyl, but fun thing, I own, 4 Funko pops and the one I got this fall was Diary of a Madman cover repriduction! Ha ha. And I got the Mötley Crüe box this fall, which was nice as my old copy of their 3 first albums are not… in the best shape! 😳Cheers Mark 🎸
Master Of Reality is "unofficially" my fave from the Oz era. Though I feel like every time I say that I have to follow with also saying, I LOVE all Sabbath of the Ozzy and Dio era so having a fave is such a ridiculous concept. Sabbath are one of my Mt. Rushmore of bands. 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable I’m very fond of Black Sabbath, perhaps a little extra for the Dio years, but I think Dio was amazing. But I also love the Seventh Star album to be honest. One of several heavy metal vinyl albums I’ve lost to various reasons over they years. Like Live Evil, Ozzy’s Speak of the Devil and my old Saxons. Annoys me even now, years later. Oh, and my Adrian Smith (ASAP), where did THAT go to?
PG by Led Zeppelin! Superb...😊
100%! Thank you! Cheers Jesus. 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Bark at the Moon was the second album I heard for the first time back in 1986. It was my introduction to metal…. this album sealed the deal with me and my Metal adventure all these years. I have not looked back. I have 4 copies of it and every time I come across, I always pick it up. Cheers bud 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 JC/Miami
That is a great place to start, wow! Jake E. Lee is one of my faves (love the Badlands stuff he created too) and for a guy whom was cast into a position to replace arguably one of the greatest (certainly one of the most recognized) in Rhoads, he excelled. Some would say surpassed Rhoads. Opinions always vary and everyone is entitled. I have two copies of Bark At The Moon, the North American and UK. Much appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Love these stories of the metal seeds being planted. Cheers man! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Dug this episode and you and I would never spar over which song was to be cranked on the radio/turntable/CD player/streamed/cassette/eight track!!! Every single album you talked about is freakin' oxygen for me - essential listening! Just hit 60 yrs. mold, and listening habits still are geared toward the hard and heavy, but have always appreciated a wide spectrum of music, good music in any genre grabs my attention and my taste in music expands as the yrs. go by, as it should. Have about eight thousand CDs and a couple hundred records, as my goal is to eventually own EVERY great album ever made in metal/hard rock/rock/blues/soul/pop/country/rockabilly/funk.
The chase is almost as good as the catch, hunting down all the killer music thats been produced! You gave great comments about each album and it's cool to see your obvious love of devil music....errt...I mean heavy metal. I am looking to get a much better turntable and get back into collecting vinyl, your album displays on those shelves really is motivating me to get back into vinyl. Here are my ten most played albums:
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
AC/DC - Powerage
Rush - Moving Pictures
Motorhead - Overkill
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast
Van Halen - Fair Warning
Aerosmith - Rocks
Slayer - South Of Heaven
Honorable Mentions:
Testament - The New Order
Death Angel - Act III
Overkill - Years Of Decay
Exodus - Bonded By Blood
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Anthrax - Among The Living
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Non Metal Most Played:
Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight
Neil Young - Live Rust
Beatles - White Album
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
The Who - Live At Leeds
Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
Ramones - Rocket To Russia
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bullocks
Black Flag - Damaged
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger
George Jones - Box Set
The Cure - Disintegration
New Order - Republic
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
Yeah, this list could go on and on and on....
and it does! Could list hundreds of others, constantly playing music! Really enjoyed the hell out of your video - keep it cranked, amigo!
That's awesome! Thank you. My goal too is to reaquire everything I used to have and get it on vinyl...though that is easier said than done as I often find things I never had and buy them when the impulse hits! All good stuff man! Good luck with the perpetual hunt and defending the faith! Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Yeah dude , it's really hard to touch Diary Of A Madman, such a banger of a song and record. Just a classic! Too Fast is such a gritty Sunset Strip banger!! Great picks brother, all rule!! Gonna jump on this thread. Cheers
Yeah man! So killer! You should jump on this thread. I just went with the most recent "most spun" as I don't know what the original creator intended. If I did 10 most played/spun ever? I don't know. Number 1, It would have to include more than 10! No way I could narrow down all time like that. Maybe 20, 30...50! Lol! Thanks for the watch and comment man! I went over and subbed you. Cheers bud! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable Yea just went with it my way . Great Idea for sure!
Bon Scott for sure!!!!
💯% 🤘🤘
Had Hemingway lived to the 1980s, I'd have thanked him for composing my gateway to one of Metallica's best songs. I'm sure that Papa would have loved Ride the Lightning.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Honestly didn't see it previously. Thank you for stopping by and watching man. I do appreciate it. I try and reply to everyone so hopefully it's better late than never. Lol! Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Another awesome video buddy. I love it. You and I have pretty much exactly same fav albums. Also. I gotta give you a virtual high five for The Cars. I absolutely love them. Love their whole catalog. I really gotta jump on this thread. What criteria? Only one album from each band??
Hey Brett. I don't even know the criteria or who started it lol! I just thought it was one I could easily get behind. Easily being the operative word! I just kinda mixed in my most heavily (not in terms of sound...that's a different list entirely) spun vinyl recently. Recent, I defined as the past twelve months. That's all. Although I do have some other ideas because of this great thread. Glad you dug it my friend. And yes, The Cars are a band I've loved since my oldest brother first brought home that record in 1978! One of the few I can say that about. Thanks for stopping by and commenting man. Really appreciate it bud. Cheers Brett. 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Like you, I listen to albums, not songs. Though I admit, I have often listened to one side and changed to something else, but never just a song or two. It would be tough to nail this down for me, because sadly, more recent purchases get spun more recently, and time to spend going back and spinning older stuff, is less common these days. I think I could do something like this, but more of an approach of the most frequently go-do album by a band, which sounds maybe similar to your approach. And I'm 100 in agreeance on the whole hair/glam American metal remarks.
Hey Jeff. For sure there are times I'll listen to a single side lp. But usually it's an artist where I'm listening and think of one of their albums I like better, so I swap lol! I just did that yesterday funny enough. I was playing Combat Rock by Clash and swapped after side one to spin their debut. Never heard the term Hair Metal until the 90's! We sure as hell never coined it. That was a derogatory term I guess. I don't know honestly, but it's irrelevant to me these days. I like what I like and don't shop or listen based on genre. Cheers man! Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated. ✌️ 🍻🤘🎶🤘
For sure THE CULT “ Electric “. THE DOORS ‘ Greatest hits “.
As a side note Rudy Sarzo wrote a book “ Off The Rails “.
It’s about the first two two album tours with Randy.
Definetly part of my music library since it came out. Love The Cult...especially Love and Electric lp's. The Doors are obviously classic as well. Thanks for watching amd commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Electric is so good! Rick Rubin on production. I remember getting it on cassette when it came out.
I don't pull many off the shelves that often but some of my most spun would be
Deicide - Deicide
Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos
Cancer - To the Gory End
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Ozric Tentacles - Pungent Efflugent
My most listened to albums would be a little different.
You're on number 3 for Elton if you count all 3 Maiden albums!
I definitely go for albums from my youth more so than stuff I've discovered over the last few years. Stellar list Mark 🍻🤘🏻
That's a list I could definitely hang and listen with you man. I'm not very familier with Deicide or Cancer, but I'll listen to almost anything (with a few exceptions) definetly very familiar with the others, more so Slayer and Ozric. Cheers Simon! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Not a bad choice in the bunch. Many of these would be in my top 10 as well Especially Diary of a Madman. It's such a perfect album, and apparently, it was rushed by Ozzy, and Randy wasn't happy with some of the solos he laid down for it. I can't imagine what he would've come up with given time to arrange the solos differently. Also, Stained Class does not get nearly enough recognition. Halford's vocals are perfect all the way through!!! Appreciate the shoutout, and I feel the same way. Music speaks to me like nothing else can. I'll cosign your grandson's sentiments, get those drums set up hahaha!
Lol! Thanks bud. Not enough waking hours in a day...and suddenly it's time for sleep and then not enough sleeping hours! Vicious cycle! Hoping the drums will be up by the end of the summer, but surely by fall when it's more indoor time here. Madman is definitely in my conversation as best of all time! We can only imagine what Randy would've/could've done. Just glad we can hear what he did do. ❤️🔥🎸Thanks man! Appreciate you. Enjoy the rest of your day Mickey. Cheers bud! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
First two Iron Maiden albums. Awesome! 🤘
Their best! Most days! They have quite a few I rank pretty high in my collection! Thanks Mark. Cheers brother! 🍻🤘🎶🤘
I LOVE the first two Iron Maiden albums the most.
I never thought I’d hear anyone say that Flick Of The Switch is their favorite Brian Johnson era AC/DC. I’m the same. And I get so many weird looks when I say that. But truly don’t care. Best material and best sound.
I love it! Even knowing all the reasons it shouldn't be good. Mutt Lang is gone, Angus & Malcom pretty much self produced, Rudd was barely able to make the recording sessions...but managed to lay down all necessary tracks before getting fired (Wright appears in videos, but only joined after the lp was wrapped and extensive auditions were held). To me it is great story telling (mostly based on the madness of touring through Back In Black and ...About To Rock) a stripped down, no reverb, raw as AC/DC used to be...and so I've always dug it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers man! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Fly on the wall gets death threats. Whoade who and these threats are carried out
@@SpenceCurry I actually don't mind Fly and Who Made Who albums. They just don't stack up quite as well to me. But everyone has their faves and opinions vary. That's what makes us all want to share. Thanks for watching and commenting Joey. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I want to like it but just don’t. Think they got worse with every album after back in black until the razors edge return to form. Good that you like it though.
Yeah my opinion is that Brian’s voice really started going downhill after Flick of the Switch. And they just plain lost their hard edge. Just my to cents
My list, no order, an album per artist.
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
Dire Straits 1st album
Television - Marquee Mon
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Waterboys - The whole of the moon
Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis?
Don MacLean - American Pie
Neutral Milk Hotel - In a aeroplane over the sea
Steely Dan - Can't buy a thrill
Jethro Tull- Songs from the wood
The Chameleons - Strange Times
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
Peter Murphy - Deep
Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert
Slint - Spiderland
Hey Vayres! Great list! I've got a few of those...love all the ones I know, especially Crisis? What Crisis? My fist ever Supertramp. A few of those I've been meaning to grab on vinyl as I scan the mom and pop stores but haven't pulled the trigger. Floyd, of course...that's a mainstay. Same for Dire Straits. Television I've heard and really dig. Smiths I don't have, but want. MacLean I have. Nuetral Milk Hotel...need to check them out. The Chameleons I've been curious about. Any suggestions on what lp to start with for The Chameleons? Sufjan Stevens I have never heard of...I don't think. Entertainment I have and really dig that one and hoping to expand the Gang collection. Haven't heard any of Peter Murphys solo or post Bauhaus stuff. And Keith Jarret I am not familiar with at all...but admittedly jazz isn't really my jam. In fact I immediately thought of Leif Garret lol! Much appreciate you watching and taking the time for a thoughtful comment. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable Strange Times is a great album by The Chameleons. Keith Jarrett is an American pianist, a genius with no par.
@@vayres7512 Excellent. I will definitely check out that Strange Times when I come across it again. Thank you. 👍
We did call it "Glam" and "pop metal" , but in no way did we call it HAIR METAL! I hate that name! Grunge bands starting calling them that, it was meant to be derogatory!
Hey man! Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate you taking the time and doing so. Can't recall hearing any of those terms in the early 80's, (80 - 83) until the mid 80's (84-85 likely the 1st time) and then later part of the 80's for stuff lumped in with metal (opinions vary if it's indeed "metal" lol) referenced as hair metal. Granted, I suggest that may have as much to do with where one resides and the media they're exposed to. Glad you dug the video man. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
Powerage is a good call. You've got Tanks Filth Hounds of Hades and Angel Witch up on the shelf that could easily be in the top ten fella!
Lol! Absolutely man! The list honestly should have included Tank as I just got that on vinyl after wanting it for years. I always had it on an old casstte, but it was always just a blank copy and never sounded great. It's tough to do top 10...but I think I might try a top 20-30 one of these times. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate it. Cheers Tom! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
I like all of your 10 albums.
which album do you like better To Fast for love or Shout at the Devil?
The magazines like hit parader and Metal edge have Shout at the devil in the top 100 To Fast for love didn't make it and I know the people who work for those magazines know more about music than most people.
3 vocalist if you want to count axl their main vocalist are Bon Scott and Brian Johnson.
so you like Powerage over Highway to hell? My favorite Bon Scott album is Highway to hell my favorite Brian John son aare Back in Black and For those about to rock.
so being Stained class is older than Screaming how was it in your teen years that you like Screaming over Stained class ?
Hey Mark. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I personally prefer Too Fast For Love, but the margin between my faves are so narrow, it's almost not even worth mentioning. That is exactly why I don't really do rankings of albums by artist...especially artists and musicians I love. I've never put much stock into what journalists/media hype on what they think or their opinions. Whether that was in print back in the day, or music television, which frankly didn't play much of the musoc I dig anyway. Especially back then. Lol! I base my taste on what "I" like, or what appeals to me when I hear it.
As for AC/DC. I didn't count Axl as he was recruited only for live shows to fill in for Johnson and never recorded any studio albums with AC/DC. This is the similar reason I didn't include their original vocalist Dave Evans, although at least in his case he appeared on their very first studio recording and subsequent 7" single "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl".
As for Priest. As mentioned above, I find it near impossible to rank albums by bands I truly love, Judas Preists being near the top of that list. This list however, was more about the ten most I've listened to in the past year or two, and in recent years Stained Class has been spun more then Vengeance. But in 1982, I was 14 and Screaming had just come out. I hadn't been into Priest (I had heard of JP, mostly via friends and older siblings with British Steel, Hell Bent For Leather/Killing Machine and even Stained Class, but I personally didn't own any yet) so that being kind of my formative years in metal, that release just became my fave for many years. As I've said, I believe often ones first album or introduction to a band/artist (especially in those formative years, teens specifically I think) becomes ones favourite just based on a sentimental factors associated with friends, loved ones etc.
Thanks again for watching and commenting. I appreciate you doing so. Cheers Mark! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable I like Shout at the devil better.
@@marksantucci4230 I get it, for sure. There are times I choose Shout over Too Fast...it depends on mood honestly. Lol! ✌️👍
Do you ever listen to Elvis Presley albums.?
Elvis was on heavy rotation for most of my childhood, and Aug.16, 1977 was a sad day. I was not quite a teen yet, so I remember vividly my mom crying. I do listen to Elvis from time to time still, especially his earliest material. Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
I am odd in that I have never cared for Led Zeppelin. All members had great talent, but the music just didn't move me. Bonham was a monster drummer for sure. I love the first two Robert Plant solo albums.
That's the beauty of music, and thankfully there is enough for everyone! Lol! I also really love those early albums of Robert Plant's solo career. Phil Collin, Barriemore Barlow and Cozy Powell (some of my faves as a youngster) provide drum duties on those first two albums which helps, although I have always enjoyed Plant's vocals anyway. Appreciate you stopping by and watching and leaving a comment. Thank you. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable I have Cozy Powell, Over The Top. Great album.
@@ZiggieZoo 100% 🤘🥁🤘
Elton John? You’ve gone to far Twanger! Your out of the club 😀some good points back then it was metal to many genres these days personally hate the term hair metal, throwing on an album I generally listen to the whole thing.. CDs I found my self skipping tracks… Master of reality and Diary would probably also slide into my most listened as well along with many more!
Lol! All good man! My dues where paid years ago as a defender of the faith, denim and leather with blood, guts & beer! I'm an honorary card bearer of the club for life!! Seriously though. I've been a fan of EJ probably as long as I can remember thanks to older siblings. The same turntables that spun Nazareth, Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Kiss, Trooper, BTO, Rush and Rainbow, also spun EJ, ABBA, ELO, Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens in our house. Lol! Gravity always keeps me grounded though...and gravity has a stronger pull when one heart is metal!! 🤘🤘(wow! I totally just channeled 18 yr old Twanger there) Thanks for stopping by bud. Much appreciated. Cheers Samsquanch! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable I hear ya man! I have some stuff I only play when no one’s around 😀… just one look at you wall tells where your heart lies 🤟have a good week Mark!
Oh dear, all that garbage and Elton John.
Lol! Love me some Elton John....especially his early catalogue for sure. Thank you. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
4 minutes and I'm bored.
Free admission so no refunds or apologies given. Thank you for stopping by and giving it a try. Some are better at this than others, and everyone is not for everyone. I am no expert, this is just a hobby and as such, I am open to constructive criticism or pointers to improve...within my modest means. Cheers Jim! 🍻 ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Satan
I am familiar with Satan and used to have their debut "Court In The Act" on a cassette back in the early 80's. Another great NWOBHM band man! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶👋
Love Sabbath album .
Thank you Margaret. I love pretty much all Sabbath iterations, but especially Ozzy as vocalist...hard to pick a fave though lol. This just happens to be the one I listened to the most in the past year or two. Thanks for stopping by, watching and commenting. Cheers! ✌️🤘🎶🤘
Never heard of the Spice Girls?
Girl power! Definetly heard of them. Can't say they are something I enjoy listening to, I couldn't name a song title though. But indeed I remember them being quite popular in the 90's. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Cheers! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘
