Symphony X had a good album, Stratovarius as well, but I'm going for one of my favorite bands who released this concept album in 1997.

[Mr. T]

This won't surprise anyone who knows me...

Gotta say, 1997 was just BRUTAL in terms of good music. A couple of decent albums, but nothing I could even consider better than average. I'll have to search out some lists to see if anything comes to mind better than what I'm already pondering listing.




Edit: Ok, here are my two choices, and neither was the best outting by either band, but both are still more solid than anything I've seen on ANY other list anywhere on the net (so far).


Judas Priest - Jugulator




Metallica - Reload

My favourites:

Oasis - Be Here Now
Blue Rodeo - Tremolo
Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie
Led Zeppelin - BBC Sesions
Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape
Bob Dylan - Time out of mind
Stevie Ray Vaugh - Live at Carnegie Hall
