    I have five of them. Thought the Garth Brooks double live one would be top five honestly. I remember that was huge when it came out.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    I was suprised to see the Hootie and the Blowfish on this list.

    I only have one, but I never owned too many albums to start with.

    AC/DC Back In Black <-- What self respecting child of the '80's didn't/doesn't have this one.

    The only one I owned was the Metallica album and could not stand it.

    It's easier for me to list the ones I haven't owned than the ones that I have:

    Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Whitney Houston, Garth again, Hootie, and the Elton John.

    I would have thought that Dark Side of the Moon and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack would have appeared on that list.

    The fact that not one out of Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, or Master of Puppets made the list makes me weep for humanity. Ok, that's overkill, but still, I am surprised Master of Puppets didn't make the list.

    It may be related to the heavy radio airplay that 'Enter Sandman' received. The same cannot be said for any of the songs from 'Master of Puppets', which was a far superior album, IMO.
    FWIW, 'Ride the Lightning' is my favourite Metallica album, which I still have on vinyl.

    Yeah, I figure And Justice For All probably sold more than MoP

    Shania Twain was the only reason I ever listened to country music. That album photo reminded me why.

    I can't believe Shania Twain has the 8th best selling album of all time!
