When Dream and Day Unite
Dream Theater ·1989
"Horrible, horrible Dream Theater. They're friends of mine. This would be the first album; it's not my favorite, but I picked it up because it's kind of difficult to find these 90s pressings on vinyl."

Sad Wings Of Destiny
Judas Priest ·1976
"One of my favorite records of all time... it's got the same tracks on there... classic songs like 'Victim of Changes,' 'The Ripper,' they still play those songs live... but a great ballad, 'Dreamer Deceiver.'"
