<p>Let's see:</p>
<p>Van Halen - I, II and WACF, or II, WACF and Fair Warning (take your pick).</p>
<p>I will say that growing up I wasn't crazy about WACF, but I've since changed my mind.</p>
<p>Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness and 7 Wishes</p>
<p>Winger - Pull, IV and Karma (I'm probably on an island by myself with this one)</p>
<p>Journey - Departure, Escape & Frontiers (this might be the holiest if they hadn't replaced those 2 songs on Frontiers)</p>
<p>Styx - Equinox,…</p>

<p>Styx - Equinox, Crystal Ball and The Grand Illusion or Crystal Ball, The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight</p>
<p>Billy Joel - The Stranger, 52nd Street and Glass Houses</p>
<p>and I'll stop with one Especially For Scott:</p>
<p>The Smithereens - Especially For You, Green Thoughts and 11</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, as far as Kiss goes, I could easily go with the first three, or the three Scott mentioned, or any combination within the first 7 studio albums. </p>
<p>Kansas is a band that I own pretty much everything they've released, thanks to the complete albums set I bought a while back. They are just a band that I've not spent any appreciable amount of time with other than the hits. I love their hits. The voice of Walsh is amazing. But I think the proggy elements have always turned me off a bit. But since their latest album, I actually like some of the proggy moments. So, one of these days, I'll go back and really do some listening. I liked all three of your selections, thought that first track really stood out.

<p>Mirrors should be in there, but that would have made it a Holy Quadrilogy and TRBN is a bit under-appreciated.</p>
<p>No. I've already explained Kiss. Your list means nothing. Don't care if Oprah is gonna whine again.</p>

<p>I would've changed a few of these... like...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jefferson Startship--Red Octopus, Spitfire, Earth</p>
<p>Blue Oyster Cult--Mirrors, Cultosaurus Erectus, Fire Of Unknown Origin</p>
<p>Kiss--Destroyer, Rock n Roll Over, Love Gun</p>
<p></p>
<p>But I did wrestle with which run of Rush I like the best and I landed in the same set that you did, but it wasn't easy!</p>

<p>Yes--The Yes Alblum. Fragile, Close To The Edge</p>

<p>King's X--Out Of The Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, Faith Hope Love</p>
<p>Jefferson Starship--Earth, Freedom At Point Zero, Modern Times</p>

<p></p>
<p>EH, I'm done. Glad I gave you this idea, but was there even a SHT list this week? </p>
<p>Oh. Kansas. I would go with Power, In The Spirit Of Things and Freaks Of Nature just to be different.</p>

<p>Bob Dylan : Bringing It All Back Home - Highway 61 revisited - Blonde On Blonde. He never was this great again.</p>
<p>Queen would be : Sheer Heart Attack - A Night At The Opera - A Day At The Races</p>
<p>Even Metallica: Ride The Lightning - Master Of Puppets - ..And Justice for All, their 3 best albums in a row.</p>

<p>Oh, we don't have to agree on everything, but forgetting CT on the first round, and suddenty in a meeting at work, thinking "Cheap Trick, off course!!" made me also think, that this is probably my number one holy Trinity.</p>
<p>Maybe it's The Who, but one of those two are imo the holiest of the holy trinities.</p>
<p>Agree on Priest, but since it's more 5-6 albums in a row, and Beatles have the EP, and Zeppelin have III and Houses (yes, I know, Scott), that aren't as awesome as I+II+IV+PG,…</p>

<p>I'm still relatively new to their early stuff. I think Ive said this before but I bought Heaven Tonight on vinyl around the time it came out because of Surrender but then it sat in my collection untouched for years!! ... until you guys came along. Then with RJ's catalog review I connected with those early CT albums in a cool way, so youre right on the trinity but it being the most holy? not so sure about that part...</p>

<p>Totally agree on DL, its the only run they got! And it would be hard for me to not start with Hell Bent for Leather on the JP run but in reality that bands run started with Sin After Sin and ended with Screaming, that's impressive!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I like both suggestion for LZ as well and you're spot on with the Who.</p>
