Oh yeah. I remember my first jean jacket with a big Ride the Lightning patch on the back. I'll take Master of Puppets any time, and I liked some of the Black Album (what was that called ... Smell the Glove?). And Justice sucked.

For me, AC/DC was always at the top. My first choice for the jean-jacket back-patch was "For Those About To Rock". Mom didn't approve because skeletons firing cannons in a graveyard was too evil for her. Back in Black and Highway to Hell are necessities in a rock collection as far as I'm concerned. Like you, I've long since removed the likes of Anthrax, King Diamond, Dark Angel, and various other thrash-like noise from my collection.

And much to my wife's displeasure, I still listen to Mr. Bungle. Often. All of the albums. Excessively juvenile and I love every second of it. Now if I could only find some suitable lyrics to teach my 5-year-old...

You are getting OLD.
Get over it.
You're turning into your Dad.

We all have our secret music shame. I once thought the Steve Miller Band was pretty good.

But most of the stuff I bought as a teen/college student I bought again when CDs came out and I'm still listening to it: Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, Led Zep, Genesis, SuperTramp, etc.. Maybe I never really matured enough to change musical taste.
