I have not heard the name "Savatage" in a very very long time. Hall of the Mountain King was/is an outstanding example of (what is now considered) old school metal. Back in the day I used to see these guys in the metal clubs here in Tampa on a regular basis. Great band well on their way to the top until tragedy struck. For a few years the metal scene here in Tampa was amazing. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

They remain to me one of the great 'could-have-beens' of the metal scene. I mean, the records they put out after Criss died are excellent, albeit different, and they do still have a very strong following in Europe (they headlined Wacken a couple of years ago, which is a huge deal), but they could easily have been the next Metallica or Iron Maiden. They had the class and talent to be world-beaters, filling stadiums around the globe. A more stable lineup would've sealed the deal... in any case I own every record they've put out and they are one of my favourite bands ever.

I'm very envious of you that you saw them back in the day and got to see Criss Oliva playing in person. I was lucky enough to see Jon Oliva's Pain playing in London a couple of years back, and even got to chat with him and his band after the show.

Knowing that was the closest I'd realistically get to seeing Savatage live was bittersweet, but still greatly appreciated.

Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Police - Synchronicity
REM - Fables of the Reconstruction, Chronic Town
U2 - War
Radiohead - The Bends
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Posies - Frosting on the Beater
Catherine Wheel - Chrome

Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun

EDIT: forgot:
X - Live at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, on the Fabulous Sunset Strip
Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier

Even on these I still might just listen to one or more songs at a time. But they are all without a doubt albums I can put on and enjoy each song, in order, without having to skip.

Probably the only truly end-to-end album I simply cannot listen to only one is The Wall. It is just not possible for me to voluntarily put it on without first knowing I plan to be listening to the entire thing, without stop. Like in the car on a trip.

Firesign Theatre 1.jpg

Buddy 1.jpg
These, pretty much. Any Firesign Theatre album that isn't a compilation, you just about have to listen to the whole thing. Otherwise, it makes no sense; and this Sherlock Holmes satire is my favorite. Cheap Thrills? Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding Company doesn't need justification, IMO.. And, yes, this Buddy Holly disc is a compilation, but for all practical purposes, if you want Buddy? That's all there is. IIRC, Holly only released ONE album - in 1958; good luck finding one of those...:whistle:
