Can't do it.

Let's see...in terms of pure opener, without going to the cheap seats (Celtic Frost, Slayer, Motorhead):

Bowie, "Width of a Circle" (I should game, set, and match it right here)
Tull, "Aqualung"
Priest, "Victim of Changes"
Pistols, "Holidays in the Sun"
King Crimson, "21rst Century Schizoid Man"
Gun Club, "Sex Beat"
Alice Cooper, "School's Out"
Black Sabbath, "Black Sabbath"
Devo, "Uncontrollable Urge"
Hawkwind, "The Psychedelic Warlords"

Ok. Now try that list starting in 1989.

Jesu - Conqueror

White Stripes: White Blood Cells
Pelican: The Fire in Our Throats
Japandroids: Post Nothing
Radio Head: The Bends
Sleater Kinney: The Woods
Metallica: black album [I don't care what anyone says about this album, it's got riffs for days.
not quite ten, only because I didn't feel like picking a favorite album, but folks like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, QOTSA, Skygreen Leopards, Melvins, Built To Spill…fuck, I could go on for ages, all have solid guitar driven music. Different flavors not withstanding…that being said, I think Drown on the Singles Soundtrack is one of the best songs of the 90's. I think the Pumpkin's first two albums are awesome. I just happen to believe that there's plenty of other awesome guitar driven music.

Just on what's on my portable player, and that's tagged by date, I come up with on one shuffle:

Slayer - War Ensemble
Slayer - World Painted Blood
Megadeth - Holy Wars/The Punishment Due
Celtic Frost - Progeny
Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
Ministry- N.W.O.
Soundgarden - Rusty Cage
Sonny Sharrock - Promises Kept
Nirvana - Breed
Neil Young - Arc

Well played, breaux.

Now allow me to cry into my zero shirt

PJ Harvey, Rid of Me.

It's ok, you're allowed to like stuff just because you like it.

Doesn't mean that it's necessarily the best, just that it was there at a particular point in time.

NWOBHM and the initial years of the American response are there for me, it's not Brahms.

But I don't care.

Fighting for metal, no matter how cheesy it may be.
