You can download the list here if you'd like. It was way more manual than I had hoped but it's done now. Since it was freeform text I used a variety of hacky scripts and editor macros to pull this together. So I wrote a script to pull them all down and put them into a big list. Someone mentioned that it would be great to have the full list of albums mentioned here. I'd already heard Sweet Child O' Mine of course but when I heard the full album it really blew my mind) Is there a more perfectly-executed hard rock album than this? Every last song hits it out of the park. Guns'n'Roses – Appetite for Destruction (Honestly. My introduction to Serious Metal, courtesy of a dear friend who also introduced me to Isis (the band!))

(yes this is a DJ mix but it was my introduction to techno - still remember where I bought it and the sales guy that recommended it to me he was also a DJ)

The earlier albums were great too, especially Fair Warning, but would have been even better if someone muted Dave Lee Roth's vocal tracks)Ĭarl Cox – F.A.C.T.

Van Halen – For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (first VH album I ever heard. one of their very best 'early era' tunes IMO Not Morningrise? They're both sensational albums of course but Morningrise has Advent.
