The albums I remember hearing a lot of growing up...




Some of the first albums I got into on my own...




Making me nostalgic. I need to go listen to some older albums.

Wow, those are some great albums there. A lot of classics also, thanks for posting them. What was it like when albums like Purple Rain and Metallica's Black Album were released if you mind me asking? Were they treated as huge events, or like an era today?
