Greatest Hits 2.0
War ·2021
"the only reason I got the greatest hits and not like actual war album is because they had too many jams... I still keep war posters up in my house and I listen to war on the regular... I think one of the most influential bands of their era."

Ride the Lightning
Metallica ·1984
"I've always been into rock and roll and metal and whatnot but this record was kind of different for me. For the song 'For Whom the Bell Tolls,' there's sometimes the band comes along and does songs that just stay etched in your brain forever, and that's for whom the bell tolls had that effect on me."

Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin ·1971
"Led Zeppelin IV, in my opinion, you could argue that this is the greatest Led Zeppelin record of all time as far as songs and creativity. Some of my favorites are 'Black Dog,' 'Stairway to Heaven,' 'Four Sticks,' 'Going to California.' It's one of these records that you could just leave on the whole way through; you don't have to skip a song."
