Stryper - Shining Star

# 42 Stryper - Against the Law (1990)


My first concert was Stryper when i was 14. ATL was their fifth album and the first departure from their famous yellow and black striped motif. Some saw it as a Christian band going secular. I thought they were trying to reach a new audience. Who knows but their music was a little edger and the vocals not so choir like.

Kamelot - Epica

#43 Kamelot - Epica


Started to listen to this band last year. Great sound but everything they do, you guessed it , is about Medieval times.

Motley Crue - Too Young to Fall in Love

Motley Crue - Looks That Kill

# 45 Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil

Motley Crue, as my eight year old brother Rich asked "Where are their boobs"? If you didn't listen to this album, you weren't a rocker. I remember kids testing others kids on the tract list and order, it went something like this:
First Kid- "You got Shout?"
Second Kid- "Shout what?"
First Kid- "Shout at the Devil, Motley Crue!"
Second Kid- "Yea i got it"
First Kid- "No you don't!"
Second Kid- "Yes i do!"
First Kid- "Oh yea, What are the songs and in order."

This would actually happen, in the streets, on bikes and everything. They were the Micheal Jackson of heavy metal in 1983.

Iron Maiden - The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg

#46 Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death


This album only came out last year but it has achieved more than any album of theirs since 1983's Number of the Beast. It has won almost every metal award and magazine award in every country it was released. It has also topped every billboard chart across the world. Huge success can sometimes mean critics love it but fans hate it. But it is a fantastic album from the first seconds to the final minute. I have loved this band since I was 15 and probably always will despite the flack I've taken.

Survivor - I Can't Hold Back

Survivor - High on You

#47 Survivor - Vital Signs


Not a lot to say about this album except, i love it. Even though it is a campy and sometimes predictable. But, from start to finish good music. The videos are pretty dorky too.
