Been listening to stuff like Fleetwood Mac & Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and am loving the style.

Im thinkin of giving The Beatles are try but not sure what album to get, an album called 1 seems to be the best bet since it has all of their number 1 songs.. but since The Beatles are supposed to have heaps of great songs im afraid I will miss out on some other gems.

Basicly I need help to decide what Beatles album to get haha.. and im hopeing none of my friends see this because I know its not normal for a 19 year old to be interested in music his grand parents listened to haha

It's an admirable quest. I would strongly recommend not simply doing the Greatest Hits, as there's a lot you will miss out on. I'd personally suggest you start either with Revolver or Abbey Road.

alright, i'll look those ones up

When I first discovered AC/DC afew months ago I only had the iron man 2 album haha.. now I have nearly every single album they have made since nearly all of their songs are gold. Same thing is happening with Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.. im gettin a nice MP3 collection.. haha.. Im loving Rock music, now im really digging Classic Rock

PS: Sry, didnt see the sticky

Some good albums to start with for various thrash metal bands? Just throw everything at me you got, I can sift through the ones I've heard.

The six albums above are essential listens for the genre, the six I`ve recommended below, will give you even more variety and diversity, again its just one album per band.

Kreator- Coma of Souls

Sepultura- Arise

Voivod- Nothing Face

Anacrusis- Manic Impressions

Overkill- The Years of Decay

Judas Priest- Painkiller (not a thrash band of course but so influential on the genre and Painkiller is their thrash/speed metal sounding album)

I'd like to add:-

Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua

Forced Entry - Uncertain Future

Voivod - Dimension Hattross (prog-thrash)

These albums are all great. ^

I always thought "The New Order" was one of Testament's best back in my thrash days. Highly recommended for some deeper listening if you like what you hear in "Legacy".
