It was mostly new stuff.

It was about the making of the CD 'Some Kind of Monster'.

[RockinRight]

1991

It'd put "Ride the Lightening" second and "...And Justice for All" at third.

[RockinRight]

I would agree. BJ's first two albums were actually decent, although I dislike Jon Bon Jovi personally, the self-titled, and "7800 Fahrenheit" were actually decent albums.

[Toby06]

Everything after your 6th grade year is crap!

Just kidding.

[RockinRight]

For third place, for me it's a tie between "AJFA" and "Kill 'Em All."

Run DMC- Raising Hell,

I had the "Raising Hell" cassette tape when it first came out.

I still love this song: "It's Tricky"

Hopefully the sample link works.

[RockinRight]

I LOVE that song!

I graduated from high school on May 22, 1986.

We used to play that tape before every HS football game we played. Bunch of (mostly) white guys gettin into stinky football gear listening to Run DMC.

Yikes that link brought back some memories.

Geez I sound old in that post.

:(

Well, TGIF!

[MotleyGirl70]

Geez I sound old in that post.

Lol. Don't worry when I get on these 80's threads I can't help but feel a bit like an oldie and realize my 20 year high school reunion is only a few years away. Yikes!

[RockinRight]

Same here...except my 20 year reunion is still a few years away.

Metallica- Master of Puppets- Forget their anti-Napster protests and their decade long decline. In 1986 Metallica was loud, hard and fast. This was their last album with the original lineup and it was their best. The speed and fury of the record is matched by its melodic tones and precision. James Hetfield's insightful lyrics and the band's musicianship (especially bassist Cliff Burton) meld this 8 song set into a thrash metal work of art.

GREAT album. I actually owned the vinyl, the cassette, and two copies of the CD (the first one badly damaged by my ex-girlfriend). I was the only kid in my fifth grade class, btw, who wore a Master of Puppets t-shirt.

Oh, '86 was the year I finally had to grow up - my daughter was born that year. ;^)

[uglybiker]

'86 The year I got kicked off the campus radio station for playing Led Zeppelin.

[MotleyGirl70]

When I hear "In Your Eyes" I can picture myself driving around in a red '86 Le Baron convertible, wearing a pair of Aviators and a pastel Polo shirt with the collar popped.

I wonder if it was Jon Voight's Le Baron.

ive been a fan ofd the ramones since 1981 when i rented the video of rock and roll high school.I was listening to animal boy on my walkman after school when I stepped in front of a motorcycle running a red light. (Stupid me thinking a walk sign meant walk.I was a naive 16 year old back then.)Wart hog had just started playing when I stepped off the curve and the impact of the motorcycle hitting me destroyed the tape and the cassette case ihad in my pocket.It also put me into a coma for a few days.(I had legally died 3 times on the way to the hospital but the brought me back each time with the shock paddles.) After I got out of the coma the first thing I did was ask for a new ramones tape to replace the one the got broken lol. I believe if I rember correctly they won a new york city music award for the animal boy album.
