Welcome to my CD gallery, where I have listed and commented on every just about CD I own. None of these, unless noted in a very few instances, are CDR copies. I also have begun adding in some of my vinyl collection. All of my CDs and records are originals. I am quite anal about my collection, so unless you see it on my trade page, chances are I won't part with it. This is MY collection, and is not necessarily meant to be an all exclusive discography on every band, although in some cases it may be.

OK, I know, there are some non-metal discs in this list. So-what!!!
Sometimes I dig the Blues, somtimes I enjoy some old progressive rock like Yes & Genesis and...gasp!..sometimes even some Gospel music like Keith Green. Many metal bands were inspired by these artists. Variety is the spice of life, right!? Also I realize that by today's standards bands like Thin Lizzy and Aersomith are considered hard rock rather than heavy metal, but in the 70's these bands were heavy metal and were also the inspiration for many more modern metal bands.

Also, I don't really care if you don't like so-called "poser" bands like Slaughter and Cinderella or not. If you don't like them, and you only like the heavier stuff, then so be it, this is not your page, it's mine. So, please do not waste your time sending me insipid emails about how this band "sucks" or that band is for "posers," as I really don't care.

So, I hope you enjoy checking out my collection. Feel free to comment. I'm always interested in new bands, so if you know of a disc or band that I might like, let me know about it. Also below, find a list of my favorite bands, discs, etc. Enjoy!
