  • If it's too Loud...you're gonna get more of THAT.
Epic Albums
« on: Time Format »

I just got this idea from Chucky:

......But Operation Mindcrime is a full on classic album.
It goes right along "A night at the opera" from Queen, "Dark side of the moon" from Floyd,
"Abbey Road" from the Beatles and such...

So....let's share a few of our absolute favorite "epic" albums.  These albums are considered "must-have" (to you) and must represent a very solid enjoyable repeatable listening experience, from beginning to end, front to back with no "filler" material (in your opinion)
 The kind of album that you put it on, you feel you just have to listen to it from the beginning and play it all the way through in it's entirety with no interruptions.  No need to rate them in any order, and no requirement on how many you should list.  Just fun to share.

Ready......GO!

Some GREAT lists here!  A strong Rush fanbase, for sure.

I would like to actually invite Peter to check out Death - The Sound of Perseverance if he already hasn't.
