was waiting on your top 5

I’m having trouble coming up with a top 5

My Top 2 are Jane’s and The Church

One on my all time favorite songs with one of the best song intros

I also throughly enjoyed Rattle and Hum

I love that song. I couldn't list It as I never got around to listening to anything other than the two most popular songs.

You're full of shite, dude. After The Wall, Operation: Mindcrime is the greatest concept album in rock history.

You worship The Cure. I'll take your opinion on quality musicianship and vocals with a big ol' grain of salt.

Same. I found this live version with an incredible 1 minute Peter Koppes guitar solo at the end. I wish that solo was on the album version instead of the 3 chords on repeat until fade, obviously not at that crazy tempo.

I see but the OP did not have that album cover (nudity?) and you have to click on the link to discover it so it is misleading. I should have known a list by Slicing Up Eyeballs would have it though.

There are bands like Metallica, Living Colour, Guns N' Roses, Danzig, Slayer, and Soundgarden on that list. Queensryche certainly belongs on it.

So what? Nothing from Appetite for Destruction charted until a year after it was released. 3 months after the album release, it sat outside the top 100.

still have my ticket stub from the skinny puppy/severed heads concert at the gay bar across the street from Xanthus. i have zero recollection of the club name. i want to say it closed down around 86 or 87.

anyway, i've told this story before but still a goodie; ogre is up on stage spraying fake blood all over the audience and AS GOD'S HONEST TRUTH "Hair" came up to me and started trying to make out.

shortly after, SP staged an 'angry fan' jumping on stage and breaking a beer bottle over ogre's head i kind of figured it was part of the show when ogre fell down and the rest of the band kept playing.


good times

I remember this. I thought, what a couple of strange names. I had no idea what either sounded like.
