Very cool ! I have plenty of great memories from that year. A lot associated with that music.

Yep. Losta good tunes and lotsa good memories from 30 years ago. Damn. 30? Really!?! This getting old thing has got to stop.

I hope 30 years from now we look back at 2017 and think the same way about this year.

Hall of the Mountain King is my favourite 1987 release, by the way. In this style of heavy metal, I'm not sure you can even make a better album. It's essentially perfect.

Hell, in 30 years I hope I can look back and remember 2017 at all !

Awesome releases. I only discovered most of these albums a few years ago so i don't find them to be that old.

Gonna CRANK Love is for Suckers immediately.

Our North Korean overlords will have banned all music and independent thought by then.

The way things are going at the moment we'll all be wandering around in the radioactive wasteland wondering what the hell happened (But at least we'll have cool clothes, haircuts and cars with machine gun turrets and flamethrowers on top )

Thanks for making me feel old.

In that case, I'm calling dibs on the "Lord Humongous" name.

You forgot one of the best of the best...

1987 will seem like 1957 to my kid.

Metallica - The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited

I have a quick funny story about that one:

When "The $5.98 EP" was released in summer '87, I was spending a month in West Germany as an exchange student

Metallica was doing the Euro festival circuit that summer, and before our trip my buddy and I had read in "Circus" magazine or something that they might possibly release a "Europe-only EP" to coincide with that tour. So when we saw "$5.98" in a store in West Berlin, naturally we both thought, "There it is! This is the Europe-only thing we heard about!"

...so we each bought a copy, thinking that when we got back to the States, we'd the the most wicked underground metal dudes in school cuz we'd be the only guys with the new Metallica. We figured we were going to make a ton of cash, selling taped copies to the local posers back home for a few bucks apiece!

...imagine our surprise when we got back home and found that the EP had also been released in the U.S. while we were gone, so everybody had it. So much for our underground cred, and our get rich scheme!
