I returned more to Budgie, Thin Lizzy and UFO from times to times.
Humble Pie has its moments also. |

1) Sabbath (the 1st 5 albums)
2) Rolling Stones (all the 60's/early 70's stuff especially Beggars Banquet/Sticky Fingers/Exile on Main St) 3) Queen (up to and including A Day at the Races) 4) Zeppelin (everything up to Presence) 5) AC/DC (everything with Bon Scott) 6) Jimi (just about everything with Mitch Mitchell in the band) ...then just 2 or 3 albums each so in no particular order...
