HAPPY 50th to another LANDMARK album...

RITCHIE BLACKMORE's RAINBOW!!




Even though this was just a hint of things to come it still has some undying proto-heavy metal classics like The Man On The Silver Mountain, Self Portrait and Sixteenth Century Greensleeves...and not to forget one of the best ballads ever made Catch The Rainbow!

That was such a solid debut, yes the next two were better, but their best opener IMO!

The Daily Doug reacted to side 2 of Sabotage tonight. So at 50 years and 1 week old...



It's safe to say he quite likes the album!

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY to the very first IRON MAIDEN album that I bought back in the day the SUBERB THE X FACTOR!!

I was getting more and more into metal music back in late 1997 and after discovering Black Sabbath a buddy of mine from school ( 7th grade) played me some midis (YES MIDI was the music format back in those days!) of Maiden including Losfer Words which I really really liked. Then I went to the local second hand record store (we even had one of those back in the day) and saw an Iron Maiden album for sale and the cover art was something totally insanely cool so ofcourse I went and bought it right away.
The album was THE X FACTOR and I still remember being totally blown away by the opening track...with that slow quiet chanting leading into that bass intro it wasn't like anything I'd heard before and then when the song sped up it was like magic.

The album grabbed me instantly. It was dark and powerful with it's lyrical content and being something of a loner some of the lyrics hit really close to home...still do.
If I'd be forced the make a Top 10 list of my all time favourite albums this one would most certainly be on it!


HAPPY 30th THE X FACTOR!!!

I know their guitarist did an album with Ian Gillan and the drummer had a few solo albums. Their singer had something of a solo career, but really took off as an actor in a long-running television series!
