5150 is best of Van Hagar era albums from start to finish. Dreams, Best of Both Worlds, and Why this can't be love are strong tracks. My favorite track is Summer Nights. Overall in Van Halen Catalog, this is 6th best album and highest of any Hagar era.

Ian Gillian. His voice between DP and his own band Gillian from 70-80's had some epic rock screams.

This my favorite double album all time and it likely is in discussion of best Album of all time.

Favorite tracks:

The Rover, Kashmir, Trampled under foot, Ten years gone by, Wanton Song, In my time of Dying, and Boggie with stu.

To be fair, I don't skip any tracks on this double album. :)

Alice in Chains opening up for clash of titans in 1991. Layne was incredible

Supernaut - Black Sabbath

Animals, Screaming for Vengence, and Centerfield

Closer to Edge even though I am more of fan of Deep Purple overall vs Yes.

Max Christie was also good get for 3 and D players they have as well. Granted, they have 2 year window now instead of 10 by keeping Luka. But Mavericks really must know something internally that bothered them - I think it is more than just about conditioning.

In some ways it does. Personally, I would not done this deal but I can see why this make sense short term. Mavericks wanted to go in lets create suffocating defense direction and they got best defensive big in NBA who defend just about anyone (2-4)

Metallica Load....I played it once and did not play that album or any other Metallica album after that more than once till Death Magnetic.

Vol 4, LZ III, and Neil Young

Heaven and Hell. British Steel is very good but it actually only top 6 album for me in priest catalog. Heaven and Hell is best Dio era Sabbath and top 4 in all sabbath albums imho.

Facelift, RTL, Wish you were here

Pink Floyd on the momentary lapse of reason tour in 1988

DP, Peter Gabriel, and the Cars.

Rising, Rocks, Bowie

Apparently - just insane

He pretty much wrong person for the job. Politics aside, how does he even get considered? He has no idea how to manage organization of that size? Than you bring in everything else? makes no sense he was even nominated.

YouTube video by Metallica - Topic My Friend Of Misery

When I see Pete Hegesth speak, i can help but think of this song...he contradicts himself so much....

No order. Dirt, Abbey Road, LZ I

A lot choose from but going to with one that has aged really well from the late 1990's, Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory.

This is top 3 album for VH imho. The hidden power of this album is strength of the deeper tracks. Drop Dead Legs, House of Pain, Girl Gone bad and Top Jimmy. Jump and hot for teacher (i still love this song) were way overplayed. House of Pain might be top 3 track for me on the entire album.

I think if you consider whole catalog? it is close but Metallica edges it out. Metallica completed changed Metal and while it tailed off some in 90's, you can say the same about Aerosmith in 80's. They both went mainstream, got more popular but at price of quality of what they put out.

No in no order, Operation Mindcrime, LZ 1, and Synchronicity. Perfect strangers was hard to leave off as it is one of most underrated DP mark 2 lineup.

Don't think he can win state race in FL though - so senate, gove, etc is out for him. I know it is MAGA, but he is pretty toxic right now. He has steep hill to climb with any public office.

The Republicans are going to be forced to cave on this and Democrats won't expand the debt ceiling. I doubt much of this bill changes unless R's want to get blamed for shut before Trump even comes into office.

Really hard call but the guitar sound on Fair Warning is epic. Truly feels like Eddie Album where he plays completely free and without nearly as many pop influences. These are my 1 (FW) and 3 (WCF) albums respectively. VH 1 is 2 for me.

That is mine too overall Jim. I think people don't realize how complete of double album this really is. Could make a strong case, I am supporter of this view, it is best double album of all time.
