#48 Spinal Tap - Spinal Tap SoundTrack(Smell the Glove)
No hard rock list would be complete without The Tap. The album came from the movie, which probably is the greatest rock movie of all time. The album follows the line of the movie, totally clowning the rock world and the life style. The songs are from the movie and hilarious. They read like a comedy set list: Big Bottoms, Hell Hole, Stonehenge, Rock and Roll Creation. You just have to picture the movie when you are listening to them. Great movie, great album. Great laughs! The airport scene, the interviews, "mine go to 11". Classics.

#49 Whitesnake - Come an Get It
Whitesnake was a huge band overseas before they were the Whitesnake that we all know and love today. This album was one of their best. I first got this album in 1988 it came out originally in 1981. So when everyone was listening to the Whitesnake(Still of the Night, Is This Love), i had classic Whitesnake which was alot like Deep Purple meet Kiss. Sweetness!

Holy Toy Caper!
#50 Quiet Riot- Metal Health
This might not be number fifty but i wanted to start with a bang(Bang your head, Metal Heath will drive you mad). 1983, the world was just recovering from the punk era, and hip hop/rap hadn't ignited yet. The world needed an anthem. So we got Metal Health. Two great singles, the title track plus "Cum'On Feel the Noise". noise was a remake of the Slade song of the same title. QR made it their own. I was 12 going on 13 and this was the first album that i can remember buying with my own free will(no parent influence). I remember doing my paper route with my brother Tim and the both of us listening to this and singing our adolescent hearts out. Those were the times, just discovering music, having freedom with your bike and paperboy money in your pocket. Enjoy you head bangers. You know you are. Don't deny it.

A List Only I Could Be Interested In
I am working on a list to blog of my favorite rock albums of all time. Not "The Greatest Rock Albums OF All Time". In fact the albums i have picked might not be that bands best piece of work, but one that means alot to me and that particular time frame. Please don't judge me on this albums, some might seem a Little sexually, some a little "evil". What i can say is that most of them have very little of what i call throw away songs. Great songs start to finish, thats what i like, no filler. Others might mean something to me because of what was going on at the time. We will see as i write about it as i go. All this because this is my interests and i can't think of anything else to blog about right now. SO HERE COMES MY FAVORITE 50 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. Bare with me.

Yankee Depression
Another year of disappointment, misery watching the Red Sox move on. Go Indians! It's a good thing my life isn't based on how well the Yankees do in October, or maybe it is. Yankees can't win, i can't find a job. It's a good thing my minute by minute mood swings have nothing to do with the play by play of a miserable offensive performance and untimely hitting. I'm glad my whole existence doesn't coincide with sports in general. OH no the Steelers lost a game i think I'm catching the Flu. I might stay in bed all year until spring training.
