I never really got into metal, mainly due to metalheads wanting to kick the shit out of me in my teens.
I did have a friend who was into it and he got me listening to Rush - 2112 and Van Halen.
2112 was probably the first entire album I sat and listened through properly. Apart from that and the odd obvious high profile metal...not much else, though I did like Hanoi Rocks for a while.
I also own a Queensryche album...Operation Mindcrime(?), which I don't even remember buying.
