Five albums I live for right now:
1. Highway to Hell — AC/DC
"How many of you have caught yourself or others playing air guitar to this one? All of you? Oh yeah, that’s right."
2. Wild One — Thin Lizzy
"One of the most versatile and influential bands in rock ’n’ roll history. This and every other Lizzy is a definite must for any rock collection. I listen to it every day."
3. Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll — Rainbow
"Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple) and Ronnie James Dio – I only found this months ago and I was blown away that such a band was out there. F**k man, the title says it all."
4. Ride the Lightning — Metallica
"In my opinion, their best album. Back when the original four horsemen relied on no one else but themselves."
5. Soundtrack to the Apocalypse — Slayer
"One of the most respected bands in rock/metal history – and always a crowd-pleaser."
