Nice list Jimmy, a few here I don’t really know. But a few here I love!!
You and Uncle Meat both have Mindcrime on your lists. I think that’s the only Queensryche?
Will add yours to the directory when I get home. Rock on!!!

I was torn between it, The Warning, and the new S/T.
To be honest, its hard not to just load the list up with lots of Queensryche… the only 3 albums I don’t love are Q2K, American Soldier and Dedicated to Chaos; I even love Tribe and OM2 even though most people think they’re cack.

I should revisit OMII. Haven’t played it in ages. But the new ST was great and I expect Condition Human to top it.

I liked OM2! And I really liked American Soldier too.

None the same as my list, but love the Clutch, Jethro Tull, Genesis. I have heard of many of the newer bands on your list but don’t own any. This may lead me to delve into them.

I have heard of them, and been at a festival where they were performing, but I chose to go to another stage instead. Next time.

Hey there, please forgive my ignorance, but with no accompanying text, what are #15 and #12 in your list?

OK, I zoomed in enough to get Gallows – Grey Britain, but I still don’t know #15 from the artwork. Can you advise?

Fantastic, thanks! I didn’t recognize it by album art alone! Cheers!

Great list. Especially interested in the Corrosion of Conformity choice, not necessarily one I’d think of as their best (Blind comes to mind first for me) but this inclusion makes me think I should grant it some additional listening time.
