We only have 3 shared total. I just clipped off Awake. If I had included 3-5 more albums it would've made it. I like it, actually, I love it. But not quite as much as most of the rest of these.

Ah, damn. In fairness, Images and Words and Nightfall in Middle-Earth were the last two I cut, so we could have had as many as six.

I'm not quite sure what's more shocking. The fact that you have Painkiller at #1, or the fact that there's no Queensryche on here whatsoever.

At best, Queensryche released two good albums in the 90's, and that's all I would call them - good. Not great.
