“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Without repeating what anyone has picked (I think)
Pete Townshend - White City, Deep End Live The Who - Face Dances Black Sabbath - Mob Rules Dio - Holy Diver Def Leppard - High n Dry Ozzy - Blizzard of Oz, Diary of a Madman, Tribute Van Halen - Woman & Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down, 1984 David Lee Roth - Eat 'em and Smile Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear, Only A Lad, Good For Your Soul Zappa - U R what U Is, Them or Us, Thing Fish Rush - Moving Pictures, Exit...Stage Right, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire Level 42 - The Pursuit of Accidents, True Colours, Standing In the Light Concrete Blonde - S/T, Free Neville Brothers - Yellow Moon Robbie Robertson - S/T Sting - Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing Like the Sub Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? Faith No More - The Real Thing Steve Winwood - Back In the High Life Bruce Cockburn - Stealing Fire, World of Wonder, Big Circumstance Joe Satriani - Surfing w/ the alien, Flying in a Blue Dream Phish - Junta Paul Simon - Graceland The The - Infected, Mind Bomb Triumph - Thunder Seven The Clash - Combat Rock, Sandanista Maiden - # of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave Grateful Dead - In the Dark
Starting to dry up...but I'm sure there's tons more good stuff. 80's gets a bad rap because of the culture, clothes, hair, etc..
