Lots to choose from here but...I have to pick one. If there is one record (yes, LP) or CD that I always go back to and crank up, and have been since it came out in 1980 is AC/DC's Back In Black. What are your picks?

U2 - Achtung Baby

Funny you should choose that. I think that is the best album of the '90s.

Good choice Diablo - but I think Im going to have to go with ACDC - Highway to Hell.

Metallica's Master of Puppets and STP's Core get honorable mention from me.

H2H is #2 in my book. Something about that band...timeless.

Electric Ladyland by the Himi Jendrix Interference or some such group is rather good.

I think its because they used the same receipe for music as the Stones - they arent trying to send out a message, they arent enigmatic, and they dont pretend to be something they arent.

Just a group of guys out to have a good time. Nothing more, nothing less.

Aye Diablo, what I like about it is: it sounds very layered, while still sounding raw, while not sounding over produced and 'shiney'. If that makes sense.

Ok, I can see the humor...but to post the Kitties twice???

Face it - "Bullet The Blue Sky" would make an awesome engine start-up sound effect for Aces High's long climb-outs to alt.

I'd go with Metallica's Whiplash (Neckbrace remix) for startup and climb out.
