The TRUE Dick Brucinson
opinions? 
I personally find Kill em all quite overrated for example, and also Abbey Road (Beatles).

Ready to get flamed, grilled and anything inbetween:
The Who - Tommy
Some good songs but very irritating parts to enjoy as a whole. The millions "Tommy can you hear me?" don´t help either.
And now we´re talking about The Who, I can´t explain (pun intended) why I don´t like the most of their material either. Baba O Reily is the only song I´d listen to voluntarely. The rest of Who´s Next is just plain boring.
Slayer- Reign In Blood
Sounds like one song chopped to pieces.
Barely any variation inbetween the songs.
Some cool midtempo chug parts but that doesn´t make a classic album. Bad vocals, unmelodic solo´s,... nah I´ll skip ´em. Same as for The Who I find Slayer very bland and boring. And yes I had 5 (!) of their albums in my collection.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
And you may add The Wall and Wish You Were Here too. Nope, not my thing. And yes, the same goes as for the previous mentioned bands: boring to my ears.
Led Zeppelin: same story. Plant and Page never amazed me apart from the fast part of Stairway.
Enough blasphemy for one day I guess.

Metallica - s/t (Black Album) - I've never understood why this album has such a high profile. It's okay, easy listening, but not a 'super album' that towers over everything else.
AC/DC - Back in black - Same as Metallica's s/t one. Nice songs and some of them are outstanding, but IMO other albums are more complete, have fewer hits, but the overall quality is stronger.
Judas Priest - Screaming for vengeance - It's their most plastic sound album; the songwriting is ok but for this album a more powerfull drummer would have been necessary.
Deep Purple - Perfect strangers - The impact of the fact that they reunited was bigger than the quality of the songs.
