The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

Currently trying to figure out which., if any, albums from my metalhead days will sneak into my top 50. Blizzard of Ozz is probably the only lock so far because of "Mr. Crowley" and "Revelation (Mother Earth)" are out-of-body experiences. Other contenders include:
  • Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
  • GNR - Appetite for Destruction
  • Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
  • Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses
Bloody Kisses is emerging as the front runner out of this bunch, which is a bit of a surprise to me. Maybe I do have a pro-90s bias after all!

I'm probably going to have to leave out Killers and Number of the Beast and for that reason alone I lament whoever voted for 50 over 100.
 
Here’s spots 45-41. There’s a couple you’ve probably never heard before and surely won’t make the top 500, there’s a couple you definitely have heard and I hope do make the list.

45. This is a hometown band that is still a huge favorite amongst locals. It makes the list because of the nostalgia of going to some great shows in my youth and also because it’s just great from start to finish (if you like that emo stuff 🖤)

44. I looooove Chuck Ragan’s voice. LOVE it. This isn’t HWM’s most popular album but it has my favorite songs and great throughout. The first track hooks me in and never lets up.

43. The Replacements are like three totally different bands to me. And I love them all. I chose this album because it’s the one that has a little bit of each of them in it. BBBCEB6D-4029-4D74-A035-293A092C5D54.jpeg

41. This album is pop perfection, I’ve probably listened to it the most of any since it was released. I’m a sucker for raw emotion that is captured in a recording studio, you don’t really get that a lot with mainstream pop music but Lorde captures all of that and then some in this one.

I know one album on your list: #47.
 
I'm probably going to have to leave out Killers and Number of the Beast and for that reason alone I lament whoever voted for 50 over 100.

Some old school metal made it into mine ...and a good chunk of rock ...it was the music of my youth and I still play it 40 years on so it’s stood the test of time ....
