My Favorite Album By........

I was sitting around with the boys on Christmas evening having a cigar and listening to some good ol' holiday music. Well, actually it was 80's rock. But since it was Christmas, I guess that would technically make it holiday music, right?

We eventually migrated the subject of our favorite albums by our favorite classic rocks bands. There were so many to choose from, so it was really tough to narrow it down to just one album. Below are most of the bands that grew up listening to (and still do!).  You've probably heard of most of them. Anyway,  here's how my favorite albums stacked up:

• Van Halen - Van Halen II
• Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
• AD/DC - Highway To Hell
• Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East 
• Kiss - The first album (self-titled)
• Aerosmith - Rocks
• Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
• Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
• Guns & Roses - Appetite For Destruction
• Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
• Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
• The Who - Who's Next
• Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
• Scorpions - Lovedrive
• Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
• Rush - 2112
• The Beatles - The White Album
• Def Leppard - High & Dry
• Foreigner - The first album (self-titled)
• Styx - The Grand Illusion
• Deep Purple - Machine Head
• The Doors - L.A. Woman
• Queen - News of the World
• Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
• Eric Clapton - Journeyman
• Billy Joel - Stormfront
• UFO - Lights Out
• Y&T - Mean Streak
• Blackfoot - Strikes
• Ted Nugent - The first album (self-titled)
• Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle
• Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive
• Triumph - Allied Forces
• Alcatrazz - Disturbing The Peace
• Rainbow - Long Live Rock and Roll

That's all I can come up with now but I'll probably add to this list later as the light bulbs go off in my head....
