But to be fair, it was the Boomer's that wrecked the younger Gen-X and Millenials with all kinds of things from bad fiscal policies to helicopter parenting to almost totaling the Political Machine. I will give them a pass on killing albums. And I never liked buying albums in the first place, I was paying for 12 songs when I only cared about 3. Rare was the album that had more than 5 good songs.

Oh...well have I found a singer for you!

pffftt...Norym out here with his substance.

However, thanks to Weird Al, I very much agree with you. I'm trying to get my band to go with not making an album, but releasing 1 single a month. It's an uphill battle.

Either works. If that list is too long to find youtube links I can look for them.

As for growly female vocalists the 2 most recent vocalists for Arch Enemy always impressed me in their ability among other things...

Here is a vocalist who I feel is like a Dio-incarnate.
Unleash the Archers - General of the Dark Army. The story in the video isn't bad.

So, my 5 favorite albums of all time. That's tough. Tastes change. I think I'll go with these, as I think they're solid 100% through - not a weak song on the album. Also, you've probably heard them all.

Iron Maiden - Live After Death
I think a live album is kinda cheating, but the choice of songs, their execution, the production values, every moment on this album is pure gold.

The Cult - Sonic Temple
I love every song on this album. I listened to it so much that even my kids are fans of this band (and love to sing along to Sweet Soul Sister).

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
This is now a love/hate album for me. I have listened to every song on here so much in my life, that I'm at the point that I don't really want to hear them again. However, they are really, really good. This is seriously one of the best albums ever created because of how many great songs are on it.

The Crystal Method - Tweekend
All 10 songs are fantastic. How can anyone come up with 10 great songs at roughly the same time? Unlike Appetite, I can still listen to this over and over and over and over and over.

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Solid concept album with great songs. Not all songs are spectacular, but they fit the overall theme well, and advance the story.
