This album I consider to be the pinnacle of a band that never got their due. A very underrated and talented band coming from the great state of Florida I bring you Savatage and their metal opus and conceptual album
Streets: A Rock Opera
in short Streets tells the story of D.T. Jesus. Savatage on this album at least and what I consider to be their best lineup was Jon Oliva Vocals and Piano, Criss Oliva Guitars, Steve "Dr. Killdrums" Wacholz drums and Tommy Lee Middleton bass.
Streets is definitely not an album of hits nor was it intended to be the album is meant to be played in it's entirety from start to finish.
An unheralded gem that I highly recommend.

TWISTED SISTER: STAY HUNGRY Only I like lesser known songs on there like Captain Howdy, The Price, Burn In Hell and Don't Let Me Down.
SAVATAGE: I'm not a big fan. One or two songs maybe. Thats one of those bands that I never listen to a whole cd in one sitting. A little SAVATAGE goes a long way for me.

I believe it was Criss that died. Jon started having vocal problems.
I agree with mamamia that they're probably more an aquired taste and not for everybody. Their music isn't overly hard and loud it just has a different style. I do feel they're one of the more talented bands of their genre but they're still more of an aquired taste.

I love this group and I love this album. Many groups have tried to blend rap and metal to uneven results but these guys finally got the mixture right. This debut album rates as one of my favorites of all time as does the group. Without any further fanfare I bring you.
Linkin Park--Hybrid Theory
The metal screaming of Chester Bennington and the rapping of Mike Shinoda along with the samplings of Mr. Hahn makes this one tight album. One Step Closer, Crawling, In The End, Points of Authority and One Step Closer have already become staples of many a radio station.
The band shows no sign of slowing down either as their follow up album Meteora has gone multi-platinum.
Can't wait for their third offering.
***** out of ***** stars

I don't think it's average at all. I like their sound a lot. I guess their live shows are pretty cool too.

I've heard that they miss out on a lot of festivals because it would take all day to set up their live show and they won't perform without all their effects. Whatever happened to "it's all about the music"?

DU HAST is the only song I know by them. I used to have a cd I liked to work out to (LINKIN PARK, GODSMACK, ROB ZOMBIE, RAMMSTEIN, etc.) and that song was on there. That's a good song...but I don't know if any of their other stuff is good.

A very underrated band who doesn't get the respect they deserve.
The Cult had a unique sound all their own incorporating the pseudo-mysticism and Native American obsessions of the Doors, the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin, and the three-chord crunch of AC/DC, while adding touches of post-punk goth rock.

Just found out that this album was released 32 years ago today.
Pink Floyd--Dark Side of the Moon
what can I say an album that has been on the charts for the better part of 27 years or over 1400 weeks. This album is a true classic. Not really heavy metal but is heavy in a different sense of the word. Can't single out one, two or even three songs as being an outstanding track as this album needs to be played in it's entirety from start to finish. This album put the word master into masterpiece.

You speak the truth. RUSH rules! Great thread by the way. I see you also had Dokken's Tooth and Nail. Also liked Under Lock and Key.

Earlier Rush was awesome I pretty much loved everything they did up through the Moving Pictures Album, after that i thought their career became a little more uneven. But got to love the 2112 album.

2112 was where I came in also. I heard it played in an art class in high school. I got in trouble for not getting anything done on that particular day's project, but when I explained to the teacher that I got caught up in the music, she got really excited. She was a lover of art in all it's forms and really got into the idea of introducing people to new forms, so she was all fired up about my discovery of Rush. After that, whenever someone in the class brought in a new piece of music, she'd stop me after class and ask me about my reaction to it. Occasionally I didn't care for something, but as long as I could put into words why I didn't care for it, she was interested to hear why. She wrote me a ton of late slips because we talked music so much. I discovered some great music as a result of that class. Robin Trower, ELO, Neil Young, Bob Seger and Rush were all bands that I heard for the first time in there.
