B-52's by The B-52's

First time I heard Rock Lobster was as a 14 year old young straight man in a lesbian bar in San Antonio. The song came on and the place went wild. Packed the dance floor. Great intro to a great band.

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Started everything for the masses and still relevant all these years later.

They played there back catalog as well as some great unknown covers. Well done and set the standard for MTV Unplugged.

One of the first albums I ever bought after my parents gave me Rush ‘All the Worlds a Stage’ and the Beatles ‘Meet the Beatles’ as a 16 year old for Christmas. Got me ssoooooo into music. Lead me to finding and loving new bands to this day as a 62 year old.
