    honorable mentions: Dire Straits, Money for nothing.
    Joe- You're killing me here. Too much of my mis-spent youth was at Feat concerts.

    Cannot argue with Feats Don't Fail Me. But I cannot walk away from Dixie Chicken, either - for studio albums. I'm torn. Live - Fat Man in the Bathtub from Waiting for Columbus is at the top of my list as #1 recorded song ever.

    Boss - Born To Run, of course.

    Jim T is in there also with Aqualung [the other half of my mis-spent youth was Tull concerts] and Blind Faith.

    And Prashun - Ziggy. Definitely. Back in the vinyl days. Wore out - literally WORE OUT - two copies.

    You non-heavy-metal guys are in the zone.

    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    seeing bob dylan on there made me think about I usually hate remakes of songs.. but I love knocking on heavens door by bob and also like the version by gnr just as much... so different but so good...

    In no particular order:

    Guns 'n Roses: Appetite for Destruction
    Metallica: Ride the Lightning
    Nightwish: Once
    Disturbed: Invincible
    Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV

    Ask me in ten minutes, and I'll probably have a different list.

    Cheers,

    Chris
    If you only took one trip to the hardware store, you didn't do it right.

    GNR did whole album of remakes, The Spagetti Incident. I liked all the covers, especially a T-Rex number, Buick McCaine (sp?). I liked their take on Live and Let Die too (I didn't really care for the original Wings version).

    I think the best remake album is Acid Eaters by the Ramones.

    No order:

    Let it Bleed -Rolling Stones
    London Calling - The Clash
    All Mod Cons - Th Jam
    Imperial Bedroom - Elvis Costello
    Tim- The Replacements

    Really there too many to list. Five is an inadequate number.

    I've got too many favorites to pick just five, but if I had to go on a long car trip with only these five I'd be just fine. Maybe replace the Boston with one of several Yes albums. Or Pink Floyd or Genesis. Or maybe Chicago. Or Steely Dan. See what I mean? Too many favorites.

    I gotta give an honorable mention to:

    Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell

    I wanted to say Kansas earlier, but I couldn't think of an album name and I think my kansas albums are best ofs.

    Kansas had a huge influence on progressive metal, which I left out of my list of albums, but which to me is the music that gets old the fastest.

    For the non-metal heads, progressive metal is way different than progressive jazz, and much more melodic than the metal most people are used to.
