King Crimson - Discipline
Rush - Permanent Waves

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Yes - Drama
King's X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska

I was gonna include Moving Pictures as well, but I wanted a little more variety in the list instead of just filling it with Rush albums LOL

You have quite a few Canadian bands and hey I thought I did well keeping mine to only 3 Rush albums.LOL
