25. “So”, Peter Gabriel, 1986

Looking at the list, there are SEVERAL on here that I absolutely agree with. And here they are:

Master of Puppets – Metallica: I love this album. I grew up in a very Rock heavy family and this album is one of the (many) soundtracks of my childhood.
Back In Black – AC/DC: One of (if not the) most iconic albums from AC/DC. In my high school marching band, we actually played Back In Black one year, so this really hits home with me.
Thriller – Michael Jackson: Until just a year or two ago, this was THE BEST selling album of all time. It would be patently stupid to leave this off the list. Plus, c’mon… it’s a great album!
Brothers In Arms – Dire Straits: While I have friends who are absolutely DONE with Dire Straits, I still like ’em. And this is actually one of the albums I have in my personal collection at home.
The Real Thing – Faith No More: I LOVE this album. To me, this is one of the albums that really set the stage for the evolution of music through the ’90’s.
