'The Nightfly', Donald Fagen
EBTG

Are you calling me an 80s chick??
An extra point
...given for the EBTG reference. Sadly under appreciated in this neck of the woods. I could certainly do it too!
"When I was 10 I thought my brother was God
He'd lie in bed and put out the light with a fishing rod"....
I reckon
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Marillion - Clutching at Straws (I know, I know...)
'Reign In Blood'?
Really?! Fantastic! When I worked at Kerrang! packing t-shirts (the glamour...) the then editor used to constantly have to deal with people from Q magazine coming over and complaining about the noise. His response? Put on 'Reign In Blood' and turn it up f***ing loud.
Well
Alter of Sacrifice and Jesus Saves take some doing to sing along to, but I've managed to crack it over the past twenty years.
Probably only
Rancid - Out Come The Wolves and Rage Aginst the Machine's first album. Oh, and probably Pearl Jam - Ten aswell. I don't remember lyrics very well so it's only stuff I actually sat down and deliberately committed to memory as a slightly sad teenager that are still there. Although I doubt I would have any touble reciting the lyrics to everything on Queen's greatest hits, but who can't?
