I have my own word I invented for this phenomenon..."Overgenrefication!"...works for me.

I'd say Metallica or Queensryche. Been a fan of Metallica for about 22 years so it's an obvious choice for me, but Queensryche, purely because 'Operation: Mindcrime' blew me away like no other album and was never off my stereo!

You are quickly becoming one of my heroes Tray...I love Mindcrime.

Dio?

Judas Priest?

Iron Maiden?

Metallica?

New Kids on the Block (ruff and tuff cuts)



Any of these would be worthy of the crown. Well, almost all of them

That is funny...lol.

I gather that now there is a state of peace between Hetfield & Co. and Mustaine, but there is so much history between the two bands that they'll be linked in music history forever.

Here's another one, Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?

Great album LG! I've never been too huge on Megadeth but I do like the debut,Peace Sells, & Rust in Peace. Back in the late 80's when I worked in the bakery I used to start work at 4AM along with a couple of girls & we used to sing a lot so we would call ourselves Art & the Bavarian Cream Donettes & I came up with an album title & song titles we used to joke around with 'Donuts Sell but who's Frying' with hit singles like "Crueller to Be Kind" & "Donut Make Your Brown Eyes Blue"
