Remain In Light by Talking Heads

One of my favorite Talking Heads albums. Very esoteric sound from them and hasn’t been replicated by them since

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Top tier Metallica album next to Master of Puppets. Easy 5/5. I would put this over Ride the Lightning in terms of the “thrash” level. I dont understand why RTL is ranked higher in that regard.

Boston by Boston

Vivid by Living Colour

Follow The Leader by Korn

Every body loves a little Korn.

On The Beach by Neil Young

Diamond Life by Sade

The Real Thing by Faith No More

Arguably their best/most accessible record. Most unique sounding record in their discography. Pattons first with the band. His voice changed after this album and during Angel Dust…so it’s a 5/5 for me. My favorite band and the album that started it all for me.
