^ Great group. I just wish they were around longer.

 

 How bout some more Ozzy? And some Black Sabbath?

 

One of the biggest triumphs in rock: Paranoid

 

 

This album is known for the song Paranoid, Iron Man, and of course the bodaciously rockin' tune!

Now, THAT is a Great Rock Album!

Every track is strong, with a theme that's carried right to the last song.

Now here's another 80's favorite of mine. 

Not just a rock album, but more like an album that tells a story. A 90s treasure just waiting to be discovered.

The other day, I was listening to iHeart Radio and I wanted to find some classic heavy metal and I heard this great band called Galactic Cowboys on a station called The Rock Vault. After listening to their song "Red Sun" I wanted to listen to the whole Machine Fish album. Great, great stuff!

The mechanical fish seen on the album cover was made by bassist Monty Colvin.

You guys like Queensrÿche? 

1990's "Empire" is a must-have hair metal album. Seriously. Heard their hit single "Jet City Woman" on SiriusXM and I'm like "I gotta hear this album!" So worth it!

I'm still stuck on Black Sabbath!

By 1971, Black Sabbath owned every radio in school. All the kids were rock-heads and I had no trouble saying good-bye to the 1960's.

One of my buddies was a hard fan for Black Sabbath and when I showed him a picture of the 1971 Plymouth GTX he said, "oh man, looks like aliens have landed on Earth and are ready to take over!".

And what about War Pigs and Bill Ward's crazy drumming on the song?

And the best part was all the new FM stations would play entire albums, uninterrupted, after 9pm on weekdays.

What a great time to be a teen - all I had to do was my homework. 

How about that Tesla and their album "The Great Radio Controversy"?

The Cranberries - No Need to Argue

Another one of the 90s best right here!

RIP Dolores O'Riordan

Edd, do you like Boston? I bought their debut album a few weeks ago and it's awesome!
