I love that you have Thunder and Lightning on there that’s in mine too.

[@thecoofjackson7471]

What a tough list to make. Gutted no Manowar In Honorable mentions but it's cool, here is mine and damn it's tough it's not 100% in order but it's mostly in order 1. Blind Guardian -Imaginations from the other side 2. Symphony x -The Odyssey 3. Manowar - Louder Than Hell 4. Nevermore -Dead Heart In a Dead World 5. Overkill -Years of Decay 6. Helloween -The Dark Ride 7. Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction 8. Iced Earth - Dark Saga 9. Accept - Metal Heart 10. W.A.S.P - Self Titled 11. Iron Maiden - Power Slave 12.

Amon Amarth - With Odin on our Side 24. Avantasia - Wicked Symphony 25. Katatoina - the Great Cold Distance Making that was very painful. I'm sure I accidentally left something off, but it's a pretty accurate list for me at this time and If I could include multiple entries off bands I would I left it just to one entry per band and no live albums.

[@davetarone6690]

Awesome video !!! So cool to see your greatest of all time albums !!

[@BeemWeeks]

Dude! I couldn't do it. I can't even settle on a top ten. So many brilliant albums! Great attempt!

[@montanahalesbass]

You without a doubt have great taste in music! I’ll give you my top 10 favorite albums of all time and I’m gonna do just studio albums and no live albums: 1. Van Halen (debut): I could put any album from the VH 6 pack as some of my favorite albums ever but I’ll leave them out to be fair. Every time I crank it, I have to play it more than once. Best album in my world! 2. AC/DC - Powerage: My favorite album from my all time favorite band. Again I could put all Bon Scott and some Brian Johnson albums in my list but I’m being fair. 3. Metallica - Kill Em All: The best trash metal album in my world. 4. Ted Nugent (debut): Like I said before, any Nugent album from the 70s and early 80s could make my list! Stranglehold is one of the best guitar solos from anybody 5. Skid Row - Slave To The Grind: everything about this album is amazing but in my opinion, Sebastian Bach is the VIP on the whole album just the way he sings the songs is amazing! As big as a douche Sebastian is nowadays, I think he’s one of the greatest singers ever. 6. Ozzy Osborne - Diary Of A Madman: This should be number 1! Randy Rhodes freaking SKULLS all over this album! 7. Mötley Crüe- Shout At The Devil: I’m gonna quote you on this. This is traditional metal perfection! Every song is a winner! Even the songs that were left off the album are phenomenal! 8. RATT - Out Of The Cellar: I actually started getting into RATT after my friend gave me this album on vinyl. “Scene Of The Crime” is my favorite RATT song. 9. Frank Marino - The Power Of Rock N Roll: I discovered Frank Marino because of you and I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for turning me on to one of the greatest albums ever made! I also have to agree that the last song is one of the best guitar solos ever! 10. Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith: The reason why I put this in my Top 10 is because BJ is very special in my youth thanks to my mom. “Dry County” is another one of those songs that has on of my favorite guitar solos of all time. I love every song especially the songs that didn’t make the album. Honorable mentions that should’ve made my list: Alice Cooper - Killer Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Cinderella - Night Songs Ace Frehley ‘78 solo album KISS - Rock And Roll Over

[@kristianrodriguez4676]

Great List Ralph! Some of my favorites not in any order (1 band each) Thunder and Lightning (Lizzy) Tokyo Tapes (Scorps) Master of Reality (Sabbath) Unleashed in the East (priest) Blizzard of Ozz (Ozzy) Ace Frehley 78’ solo Station to Station (Bowie) The Stranger (Billy Joel) Alive! (Kiss) Dream Police (Cheap Trick) Ride the Lightning (Metallica) Iron Maiden debut Van Halen debut London Calling (Clash) Born to Run (Springsteen) You Don’t Mess Around with Jim (Jim Croce) Grand Illusion (Styx) Presence (Zeppelin) The Wall (Floyd) Jazz (Queen) Murmur (REM)

[@VanHalenStarWars]

Great list! The mighty VH!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Such a killer list. Your top 3 are perfection. I love seeing Rubber Soul up there as well. I'm glad you gave Styx "The Grand Illusion" an honorable mention. ♥️ Take care.

[@almosthuman56]

Yes Melinda. Such perfect albums! It did hurt to leave Styx off the top 25. Take care!

[@dannygray4898]

Rubber Soul has always been my favorite Beatles album.

[@danielsimmons4856]

1. Quiet Riot- "Metal Health" 2. Cinderella- "Night Songs" 3. Meat Loaf- "Bat Out of Hell" 4. Billy Squier- "Don't Say No" 5. Confederate Railroad, self-titled 6. Fleetwood Mac- "Rumours" 7.

[@ShawnW-ir4kw]

Nazareth definitely should be mentioned hair of the dog The police isn't metal but one of the greatest bands ever being a 3 member drums 3-4 piece set and lyrics are about life billy Thorpe and billy squire too. CCR chooglin toe tapping catchy song

[@motleyfan7558]

Great episode Ralph. One of your best.

[@jeffvaughn3132]

Great Energy and Excitement !!!

[@themindseyecmh]

Kudos for even making your top 25 list, I find favorite album lists impossible to do!

[@samuelblinne6040]

Keep up the good work

[@JJMcHurt]

Just one album for each band--Ugggh I couldn’t even start this list without losing my mind under them rules ☺️☺️ Nice job DR

[@tedpavlica9973]

Great list Ralph!!

[@bj4505]

What an awesome top 25 list! I'm not a big Beatles fan but Rubber Soul is my favourite album of theirs too. A thought provoking list. Now I'm going to LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH(vol 4)!

[@thunderstruck6585]

Great list! I was surprised there was no Scorpions in your honorable mentions or top 25. Maybe an oversight? Very fun video. Thanks!

[@Zoostation69]

Great list Ralph! Love your channel my fav KZbin channel of all time cheers🎉

[@almosthuman56]

You rock!

[@BazookaToe]

Great job as always. But what I have to immediately listen to now is “Genoooocide!” 😝

[@adamrenfrow]

Fucking great list man. Can't go wrong with either of those albums.

[@ultrasuede7757]

If you haven't listened to "Live Go For What You Know" by the Pat Travers Band -- my favorite live album EVER -- you gotta listen to it now, Dr. Fukk. It has only eight songs, but it is absolutely incredible. It was released almost 45 years ago but still sounds fresh and awesome in 2023. "Now here's to kick YOUR ASS...the Pat Travers Band!!!"

[@almosthuman56]

I owned it since it was new and love it!

[@vincentthao3497]

Love you my main man ! You forgot to say RIP bon Scott when you presented powerage

[@waylonlattimer5630]

I should make a bracket out of the honorable mention albums just to make you suffer. 🤔 This is a great video.

[@matthewfbridges]

my top 10 would be 1: Raw Power- Iggy and The Stooges 2: The Queen Is Dead- The Smiths 3: Pet Sounds- The Beach Boys 4: Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie 5: Madvillainy- Madvillain 6: Animals- Pink Floyd 7: The Velvet Underground & Nico- The Velvet Underground 8: The Stone Roses- The Stone Roses 9: Maxine Gun Etiquette- The Damned 10: In Rainbows- Radiohead Honourable mentions go to Revolver- The Beatles Violator- Depeche Mode Unknown Pleasures- Joy Division loveless- my bloody valentine

[@jameswest4259]

Kick ass video brother 🤘

[@MJForever1999]

Wow. Surprised you didn't mention Alice Cooper's Killer. Either way this list rules

[@paulharper9711]

Great List, but my top list would include Aerosmith Rocks, Sweet Desolation Blvd and Motley Crue Too Fast For Love.

[@Steambull1]

Back in junior high, I didn't like Maiden at all. Eventually my bassist friend told me to listen to the debut, and it was love at first listen. I eventually started liking the Dickinson albums as well, but the first album has remained my favorite - even if we talk about the UK original without Sanctuary (which I have on 7", featuring one of the best Eddie pieces on the cover).

[@ericprater1970]

This is one I could not do as soon as I wrote down 25 I would remember another album this would be a vicious circle 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸

[@almosthuman56]

Pure torture!

[@jdiona]

I’m completely shocked, Ralph! What about holy diver????

[@almosthuman56]

It would have been a honorable mention. If I remembered.

You should definitely get the deluxe No Sleep Til Hammersmith. The original album remastered, plus both full shows from Newcastle, and the full show from Leeds. Awesome !

[@curtquillen797]

Dirt is the best album to me for the 90s

[@thenash76]

I thought for sure Fire Down Under would be in the top 25!

[@ragnartvedt5991]

Great list but I was hoping for Hot in the shade 🤣🤣🤣

[@bigmonsdangolfuzzjamboree7086]

Never thought in a million years you'd be into Jeff Buckley, dude. Love his stuff.

[@integrity101]

Honestly my top 25 would all be with Anselmo, Dio, Iommi & Dimebag.

[@almosthuman56]

[@alfonsoazcorra]

Cool 😎, Dr. Fukk, You Rocks ..!!

[@stephanmccall6900]

I’m surprised Alice Cooper Killer didn’t rate at least an honorable mention given it smokes all comers in track by track.

[@almosthuman56]

It's because I cant remember every thing. I mention that at the end. And I am no different than anyone else who has to do these list. It would have made my honorable mentions. But not my Top 25.

[@not_yer_boy_nick]

[@chriscron7866]

Someone might have already mentioned it, but I noticed you held up, Even the Devil Believes, and said “Stryper, “Fallen.” I do think you got it right with the album you held up. As great as Fallen is I think Even the Devil Believes is Even better.

[@ShawnW-ir4kw]

I just finished reading the history of the sportatorium and unbelievable that throughout it's history tennis was played there basketball, hockey was going to be played there but fell through. Famous people and bands that shocked me; Elvis The Stones Zeppelin just floored me. The article says it was one of the venue places that every band or famous headliner wanted to play there even tho they all didn't like the acoustics and the leaky roof and rowdy coward's left a bad taste for them not to return. Built by Calder from the horse racing track. Who tried to buy a few different sports franchises to bring money and entertainment to South Florida. Elvis played there in 1977 Zeppelin 1971, then professional hockey the screaming eagles we're set to be south Florida's first pro hockey team season tickets were sold but the owners deemed it wasn't fit for them and closed their office and turned their phone number off all who bought season tickets were chuck pluck out of their money. But that didn't stop the sportatorium from becoming a must play for almost every big name act. Madonna Whitney Houston and others played there before it's demise in 1988. The last concert for Skynyrd 1977 days before 3 members died in the plane crash October would change the band forever. An interesting read of the history of the best place I've ever seen a concert and awesome memories thanks again for sharing your stubs, opinions and personal experiences there.

[@DevilFish69]

What about Believe by Justin Bieber?

[@samuelblinne6040]

[@Cookie-hg4xb]

Nice Top 25 Ralph , highlights for me in your list include KISS Alive , Powerage , Physical Graffiti , Van Halen's debut , Rubber Soul and your number one The Wall. It's also my number one , absolutely brilliant , flawless and emotional album. My only disappointment was there was no mention of RATT's Out Of The Cellar.

When I got into music in the 70s and 80s Floyd was too mellow for me even tho i wasn't into thrash and bands like gurro i saw them live didn't like them or understand any of their words. I wasn't into kiss either that's what makes all of us imperfectly perfect. It's all our opinions and likes no one is wrong and no one is right. Rock on
