So my thought process behind this is when it comes to music most people want to have something unique they love. Everybody likes discovering a new band that nobody knows and turning your friends and family on to them. Also I'm guilty of have those more obscure bands I love that my buddies just don't get.

  But when I look back over my favorite albums I've got alot of unique stuff, lesser known stuff and of course that stuff that gets over referenced, over played and over analyzed for greatness. But alas some albums or even bands are just that good.

 So wether you refer to it as cliches or maybe guilty pleasures what are some albums that get a ton of praise that you just can't help but love. For me ill say: Peter Gabriel So, U2 Joshua Tree and the Beatles white album, revolver, rubber soul and Sgt peppers. All these albums are in every major top 100 list of all time albums and they are in the lexicon of pop culture. Also they happen to be fantastic and I love them.

 What about you?

I got dragged to a U2 concert kicking and screaming (thinking a root canal might be more enjoyable) about 4 or 5 years ago.   I might have liked one of their songs at that time. > It was the best concert I have ever seen.  The sound, the stage stuff, all of it was mind blowing.  I have seen a ton of concerts over the years.  These guys put on the best show ever.  I left the concert questioning all my life choices.

Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album.  I once knew how to play all the rhythm guitar parts from start to finish.  Cut my guitar playing teeth on that 80's thrash stuff.

Yeah. IMO, ride the lightning was the record that defined Metallica.
