Yup, can't fault Animals.

Now people are going to laugh at me, but I don't care....
But I think Queensryche "Operation: Livecrime" is perfect.
To partially redeem myself, I also agree with a fair number of other folk's selections...some great ones here.
dAN: Crime of the Century I think is perfect. Surprised to see Supertramp pop up here. [maybe I shouldn't have been? I just don't know that many folk who like them except for B. in A. and Logical Song.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

If it makes you feel any better I'll add a second vote for Livecrime. Love that album.Vraith wrote:Total agreement.Cail wrote:Yup, can't fault Animals.

I do, too, but it's been a while since I listened to it. I'd better listen to it again to make sure.rdhopeca wrote:I *really* want to say the first Boston Album...

I think I'd probably toss Judas Priest's British Steel into the ring. I'd love to put in a Rush or Iron Maiden record, but they fall into the, "except for" category.
Hard to argue against Thriller. Hard to argue against Born in the USA too. Maybe Kansas's Point of Know Return? Maybe Sabbath's Heaven & Hell?

I'd vote for Kansas' "Point of Know Return," too, I think, and also "Leftoverture". I wish I still had those albums.
May have to look for 'em.

I hear ya. I'm a big Iron Maiden fan (shocker, I know) and as much as I love their stuff, there always seems to be one irredeemably silly song on their album...Cail wrote: I'd love to put in a Rush or Iron Maiden record, but they fall into the, "except for" category.
Though if I were to take a stab, it be from among Brave New World, Dance of Death, A Matter of Life and Death, and The Final Frontier.
Powerslave also comes close.

And yup. Holy Diver comes close, too.Cail wrote: Maybe Sabbath's Heaven & Hell?
Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 (minus one track)
Kendra Smith - 5 Ways of Disappearing (minus one track)
Ego Likeness - The Order of the Reptile (so close)
The Tragically Hip - Fully Completely (almost)
Argh. This is not easy.

Ok, another chance for folk to engage in ridicule...
Meatloaf, "Bat Out of Hell."
