[Van Hagar]

As soon as I saw the thread title, before I read your post, my first reaction was ‘Boston.’ You and I are almost exactly the same age, so we will have a lot of the same references, and man that was a killer album! The only other one I can think of off the top of my head as a contender was Van Halen’s debut album, because as soon as you heard Eddie play, you knew the world had changed.

Oops! How could I forget? ‘Appetite for Destruction’ by Guns and Roses. ‘Paradise City’, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘Sweet Child o’Mine,’ ‘Mr. Brownstone,’ ‘Night Train’. Killer, killer, killer. For me, might have to give them a nose in front of the two I previously mentioned. But so close.
