I was 11 in '81 and still have my original vinyl of most of these. These were some of the first records I got - w/Mom & Dad's money. I used to spin Foreigner 4 over and over. When I hear "Juke Box Hero" to this day I get that same feeling, not sure what it is, but I get it. Awesome. I was 11 in '81 and still have my original vinyl of most of these.

I'm still trying to figure out Saga's "Chapters" and frankly I think they're just jerkin' me around. At least the Rush and Dream Theater concepts are consistent.

Although I have programmed the Fear series together and it does sound pretty good (although IV is sonically a misfit).

Only in recent years have I been able to appreciate his music (and I do) but in school, it was damn near intolerable. All the guy had to do was fart into the mic and everyone crowned it the next glorious composition. Years later, when it was announced he was engaged to Julianne Phillips we literally had girls weeping, WEEPING, on the steps of the school. <br><br>Only in Jersey, man.
