I had this blasting so loud tonight my wife stepped in and just shook her head...I guess she thinks 61 is a little old for some serious rock.

3. Good times. I used to love these guys

Operation Mindcrime was a good one also

I was broke and sold all my CDs way back when and Empire was in that bundle. All my QR, Iron Maiden, Tesla, Metallica, etc. all sold for pennies on the dollar. Good times none the less.

Great post.
