I'm going to have to ask the judges: do compilations really count here?  Can I get a ruling?

As long as it fits in the "Rock 'n Roll" category is all I ask.

Metallica?  That should be in the WORST album thread, move along.

Funny, I was justs going back and listing favorite albums for each of the past 15 or so years.  According to the criteria set out in the first post:

If there is one record (yes, LP) or CD that I always go back to and crank up


I have to say Social Distortion's self titled album. (surprize!) lol.

Many SxDx fans like the earlier harder edged sounds, or the later more "studio" albums. But I always felt they got the balance right on this album.  Enough Punk rock to get your attention, a hint of blues to bring you down, toss in a Johnny Cash cover, shake well, and serve.

Zep's Black Dog off their 4th album. Sounds a little like a psychadelic engine starting up, and then those first lines...'hey hey momma is it the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove', then that famous guitar lick as you start to roll down the runway.

"Hey hey baby, way ya shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting"

The first album by Boston comes to mind.
