Speak Of The Devil. A live album consisting of Sabbath songs. This was required to fulfil contractual obligations. Recorded when the band was reeling from Randy’s death. I think that all things considered, it’s good. What do you think of Speak Of The Devil?

Picked this original up in a second hand record shop. Cover slightly damaged, but it doesn’t matter, the record sounds great. I sometimes prefer the originals as the sound can get lost during the remastering process. And what an album this is!

Arguably the best known albums from these 4 great UK rock/metal bands . So which one do you like best? I’m picking the one that will probably get the least votes - Wheels Of Steel! 🛞 What’s your pick peeps?

Woe to you oh earth and sea For the devil sends the beast with wrath Because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast For it is a human number It’s number is six hundred and sixty six Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast

9 eponymous albums - i.e. album with same name as the group. Not chosen Whitesnake as the record was more widely known as 1987. My top 3 - Maiden. Boston. Zeppelin. What are your 3 picks from these 9?

8 awesome Rush albums 4 from the 1970’s and 4 from the 1980’s. Which set do you prefer? Very close, but I’m going for the four 70’s albums! What about you guys?

Lemmy, Phil Taylor, Eddie Clarke. The 3 Amigos of Motörhead. This line up lasted from 1977 to 1982. For many this was the ultimate line up of Motörhead. All 3 no longer with us. But never forgotten.

Random selection of rock and metal albums released in 88. If I had to choose 3. Megadeth, Metallica, Cinderella. What are your 3 picks?

How many of you oldies remember this logo on the back of albums? Used to do it though. 2 albums on a C90 to play on my Walkman. Didn’t kill music as much as streaming

A vinyl album works out at about 44 minutes in total. A CD about 75 mins A digital music album far longer. Most of my favourite albums are no longer than a standard vinyl single LP. Have CD’s and digital meant some albums are unnecessarily padded out?

2 great live albums from 2 legendary rock & roll bands. AC/DC - If You Want Blood. Motörhead- No Sleep til Hammersmith. Which album do you prefer? I love both. Bands were on top of their game, but mine is If You Want Blood.

Which of these 2 stellar albums by Deep Purple Mk 2 do you like best? In Rock Machine Head My preference is In Rock by a hair’s breadth.

The album artwork for Powerslave is legendary. Derek Riggs excelled himself with this. It’s an absolute beauty. The pictures don’t do it justice. Music is pretty good as well!

Motörhead- March Or Die. This was a difficult album. Taylor got the boot and the drums were filled by Tommy Aldridge & Mickey Dee. Taylor played on one track. Ozzy Osbourne and Slash make guest appearances. For me, it’s good not great What do you think of March or Die?

These 4 beautiful vinyls have arrived recently. Physical music ❤️❤️ For me, Metallica never equalled anything that came after these albums. Yes. I like And Justice For All. Not much as the other three, but it’s still awesome.

Sin After Sin by Judas Priest. Can be overlooked as it’s sandwiched between Sad Wings of Destiny & Stained Class. I like it a lot. Sinner, Dissident Aggressor, Diamonds and Rust, Here Come The Tears etc. Not sure about Last Rose Of Summer! Thoughts on Sin After Sin?

Xanadu -To stand within the pleasure zone Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste anew the fruits of life The last immortal man To find the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice Oh I will dine on honey dew And drink the milk of paradise From Farewell To Kings by Rush Top album

No apologies for another Ozzy post. We finally said goodbye to Ozzy today. It was devastating to see his family. For them, not a rock star, but a husband, father, grandad, brother, uncle etc. Farewell Prince Of Darkness. You will never be forgotten. 😢

It’s been a week since we lost this man. Can’t believe Ozzy has gone. Diary Of A Madman is my favourite Ozzy solo album. Talk Of The Devil/ Speak Of The Devil is one of the hidden gems. An understandably troubled album, but it somehow works.

Whilst Spotify, Apple Music etc is great for on the go/ gym/car etc, nothing can compare with having a physical album in your hands. Looking at the artwork, the lyrics, the credits etc. It’s up there with listening to the music Vinyl /cassettes/ CD’s. ❤️
