Wow, several albums/groups I’m unfamiliar with! I’ll have to go check ‘em out – thanks! I’ll go 1 per group as well in no particular order.

Van Halen I
The Crazy 8′s – Big Live Nut Pack
Black Happy – Peghead
The English Beat – I Just Can’t Stop It
ACDC – Back in Black (Brian)
ACDC – Highway to Hell (Bon)
Styx – Paradise Theater
U2 – The Joshua Tree
The Who – Who’s Next
The Tragically Hip – Fully Completely

I really tried to include a female vocalist but could only come up with Madonna’s greatest hits and I didn’t think that counted…

Keeping The Beatles aside…

Electric Light Orchestra-Out of The Blue
Elton John-Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Kiss-Music from The Elder
Queen-Live Killers
Wings Over America
Ozzy Osbourne-Diary of a Madman
Rainbow-Down to Earth
Iron Maiden-Piece of Mind
Meat Loaf-Bat out of Hell
Billy Joel-The Nylon Curtain

Like everyone else, I could list many more but these are the ones that pop into my head. These are also ones that I never tire of listening to.

Van Halen–Van Halen 1
Elton John– Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Aldo Nova–Aldo Nova
ACDC–Highway to Hell
Guns and Roses–Appetite for Destruction
Lacuna Coil–Karmacode
Varuca Salt–Eight Arms to Hold You
Whitesnake–ForeverMore (although this is a new release, I really enjoyed this album better than any other record since Whitesnakes inception)
Kiss–Alive 1
The Pretty Reckless (thier 2014 release I guarantee will be in my 10)

I , like alot, made a crap load of mix tapes from Love/Hate to Hendrix. But to like an album completely from the begining of side 1 through Side 2, that was not a Best of, that was a rarity.

Dio – The Last In Line
Marillion – Real To Reel
Journey – Frontiers

Rainbow – Rising
Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run

Great topic, it was tough picking ten and leaving out the likes of Rush, Tesla, UFO, AC/DC, Queensryche, Ratt, Maiden, Lizzy, Sabbath, Purple etc.

And great call King Edward & Sickman on the Love/Hate & Blind Melon debut’s – absolute classics both of them!

No disrespect to VH and the site this was posted to, but the above albums are a quick list which will change depending on my mood. With that in mind, Fair Warning would be my VH album of choice within the next 10 albums.
