Sad that Hank III puts out the two best albums of his life and doesn't get in the top 25.

 

Hey, you could have fucking voted for them like I did.

 

(Also, they're good, but neither of them are Straight to Hell good.)

if only there was a pimping thread that was open for three months where you could have made your case for those records

 

 

I'd rather whine after the fact, thank you very much.

Sorry, I can't be everywhere. In retrospect you're correct, STH is one for the ages whereas these are merely great.

Except for my rabid hatred of Kanye West, an excellent list. Glad I was one of those that got to see Queensryche when they were still playing the bar circuit in Seattle.
