The Number of the BeastThe Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden

My most favourite 'Iron Maiden' album. They're all very good, but this is exceptional.
TenTen by Pearl Jam

Dirty FingersDirty Fingers by Gary Moore

Difficult to choose a favourite Gary Moore album. This is the one I'm currently listening to and it's brilliant. 'Rest In Peace' is worth paying for alone.

Black SabbathBlack Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath's first album (1969). This is what I call 'Heavy Metal'. Dark, eerie and threatening. The original Goth band.

If you want simple, no-frills hard rock, then no-one does it better that AC/DC. (70's Classic)

Not a hard hitting album, but full of great rock songs. Excellent guitar work from Bill Nelson. One of my favourites. (70's Classic)
FallenFallen by Evanescence

This is the best rock album of recent years. Amy Lee's voice suits the songs perfectly. I love her voice and I love this album. Brilliant.
