Man I'm working hard on Metal Month II, but it must be time to rejuvenate this ol' journal again, so here first of all is an updated list. Which I'm not going to follow. More after.
The list so far. Albums in
GREEN have been reviewed already.

Michael Jackson ---
Thriller (I've decided not to bother with this, as really there are only about three tracks on it that I don't know, so it kind of goes against the spirit of what I'm trying to do here. I also looked at
Bad, but same thing really. So I think I'll just pass on Jackson; his music is too mainstream and commercial for me not to really have heard, in one way or another, his albums regarded as classics)
Metallica ---
Master of puppets (Reviewed for Metal Month '13, so no longer a valid choice. May replace with another Metallica. Suggestions?)
