Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album was a major part of my early music experience. My oldest brother had bought the album and it was most definitely the first album I memorized all the lyrics. I wouldn't be surprised if I put it on today and could sing along to most of it. As long as no one was listening.

Queen's News of the World album was the first LP I ever bought. I don't know what year I bought it, certainly not 1977, but 1979 at latest. "We Will Rock You" segueing into "We are the Champions" were huge on the radio and to my young ears were the greatest thing ever at the time.

13. Dance on a Volcano (Genesis) (official audio) (what makes this song great)
14. Hotel California (Eagles)
15. The Wall (Kansas) (unofficial lyric video)

I have long cited Led Zeppelin's Presence album as my favorite and for the longest time I got looks of disbelief at that. Over time, though, I think I've been vindicated by more and more people realizing how good it is without any radio-friendly hits, but good solid writing and musicianship. "Achilles Last Stand" is among my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, along with "Since I've Been Loving You", "The Rain Song", and "Ten Years Gone".
