King Crimson. Not a band I have heard much of at all but seem to be very high on a lot of lists but ill be damned if I can ever find any copies of anything of theirs in all the record stores I dig through. Why is that?

Stained Class by Judas Priest

rotten.com wrote:

Dec 23 1985

In a school playground, James Vance presses a shotgun to his chin and pulls the trigger. He and cohort Raymond Belknap had forged a suicide pact while listening to Stained Class by Judas Priest. But where Belknap succeeded, Vance fails. The dumbshit survives, destroying his face. He later uses his disfigurement to his advantage, terrorizing small children on his bicycle. Both kids' parents file suit against the band, but a judge ultimately rejects their subliminal message theory. Vance dies from painkillers on Thanksgiving three years later.

in other words, this is a motherfucker of an album but don't let him hear it unless you want a suicide pact

My absolute number one favorite album when I'm camping in The South with my boys. One of the best cheap beer drinking albums of all time. I LOVE cheap beer!!! Of course, I adore the good stuff too. I like it all. lol

Cool. I second the Captain Beyond suggestion.

There's also these:

I know this is The Who, but I've always thought it was a criminally underrated album
