good varied choices with some classic albums

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I love the badass cowbell riffage in....*forgets song title* but the song where its all slow n weird for a while, then the cowbell kicks in middle of the song and an amazing riff is played over it.

Megalomania


zosobob added Ride The Lightning. I meant to mention that one too.

[Genesis]

AFD is the only 'must own' album I can think of.... and maybe an Aerosmith 'Best Of' collection.

[DirtySanchez]

there are a few albums that i would call gauranteed albums, meaning that i'd be willing to refund you your money back (well, not really) if you bought it and honestly don't think it's good. some that come to mind:

GnR- appetite
Bowie- ziggy stardust
Clash- london calling
Elvis Costello- my aim is true
