Awaken The Gaurdian by Fates Warning from 1986.

The first 3 Fates Warning CDs are awesome, Joe !!

Crimson Glory owns as well

^^^Have all thier stuff. I like both sides of the band. Metal and prog/metal. Ray Alder has a fantastic voice. Would of been interesting to see where the band went with him still on board.

A pearl from 1980, Ronnie had some big boots to fill and I think he did an amazing job.

^^^Good to see that album mentioned Sox.

Some Corkers you all have posted.

Here's one from a band that gets a lot of stick nowadays, but back when they were starting out U2 released some excellent albums. I consider their early years to be by far their best as far as recordings go.

And I happen to have one of the best versions of this classic ever released. The MFSL copy of "War", the original record was released in 1983.

New Years Day.

All great albums from Boy to Achtung Baby IMO. The Unforgettable Fire being my fav. with fantastic production work from Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Sonic.
The Edge is a very underrated guitarist.

^^I agree Joe, the Edge is a very good guitarist. I was watching some technical show a couple of years ago, and he was being interviewed about his equipment. He uses old analog gear and has all of his unique guitar "Sounds" hard wired in it. Bono was joking that Edge would be lost without his stack of ancient stuff, and it goes on the road wherever they play. Not sure if that is the best way to explain it but I was impressed by the size of the stack he takes on the road, and it is irreplaceable as well.
