Once again it comes as no surprise that the debut album from Stone Temple Pilots Core came in with the most votes in this week’s 50 Years, 50 Albums.

It certainly comes with no surprise that Rush’s Moving Pictures album came in with the most votes this week as we focused on the year 1981.

A family band out of Nashville, Brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill with cousin Matthew Followill formed Kings of Leon in 1999. To describe the band’s music is a combination of southern rock, garage rock with a heavy dose of alternative sound, basically making this a kick ass band. Their fourth album Only by the…
Well, it comes with no surprise that Bruce Springsteen came in with the most votes this week for the Hall of Fame although Kiss’s Alive and Queen’s Night at the Opera certainly got their fair share of votes.

This is the third debut album in our Hall of Fame. Guns ‘N Roses Appetite for Destruction. Released in July of 1987 when hair metal bands were dominating rock station charts, we all thought that this was just another hair band out of L.A. That’s until you dropped the needle on cut one, side one…
