wjamflan (1089)	If we’re just talking rock albums you bought in the store: Van Halen I Van Halen II Led Zeppelin I Led Zeppelin II Led Zeppelin IV Live at Leeds – The Who Who’s Next Aerosmith’s Greatest Hits The Beatles Red and Blue albums (1962 -1966 & 1967 -1970) Layla – Derek and the Dominos I’ve always made mixed tapes (then cds, then playlists) of stuff I like from all kinds of bands in all kinds of genres to listen to. The above are just albums I can still stand to listen to in their entirety that I bought as a kid. Honorable mentions would go to Appetite by G ‘N R and Nevermind by Nirvana. In reality, I listen to a boatload of other stuff in other genres that I’ve gotten into as an adult that haven’t been with me quite as long. “This hamburger don’t need no helper.” – DLR 5/17/15 wjamflanQuote
