Best I've been to ? Rolling Stones at Maine Road, supported by the Dan Reed Network, 1990.
Worst ? A work colleague's mate was playing in a band doing a gig at Birmingham University.
Sat down at the back with a pint while the band murdered Deep Purple's "Black Knight". Halfway through,
the frontman stops singing and yells "what's the matter with you all ? There's people at the back SITTING DOWN !!"

The albums below fulfil two criteria.
1) They are the first album that I purchased from the band - the albums that made me sit up and take notice of them.
2) They are albums I still return to and play most regularly, even though I often have several other excellent albums from the band.
Rush - Power Windows
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beastie
Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust
Propaganda - A Secret Wish
Latin Quarter - Modern Times
Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja
Faithless - Reverence
Springsteen - Born to Run
Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night
Nightwish - Imaginaerum
Dire Straits - Love over GoldPower Windows ? Good shout.... for me its a coin flip between Power Windows and Grace Under Pressure.

Oh @cmatthewbacon, this is more difficult than mine!!
Firstly, I think everyone here would agree that Queen’s Greatest hits, and Madonna’s Immaculate Collection fit the bill of All Killer no Filler.
Then, for me,
Sex Pistols - Never Mind
Who - Who’s next
The Who Sell Out
Genesis - Seconds out
Pretenders - Pretenders
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
Stones - Let it Bleed
Led Zep - 4
U2 - Joshua Tree
Stevie Wonder - music of my mind
Jethro Tull - Songs from the wood
Todd Rundgren - A wizard a true star
Yes - The Yes Album
and many, many more.
Hmm... if I was choosing a U2 album to fit the bill, I'd have gone for Under A Blood Red Sky rather than the Joshua Tree.
Led Zep 4 ? But it had that excruciatingly long track that went on forever and ever about some winding stairway....

Another vote for Def Leppard's "Hysteria". Not a single track on it that doesn't scream "don't you dare skip over me, oh and TURN IT UP !!"
Oh, Mrs Hx just shouted out "REM - Automatic for the people"

There was a good one on the Telegraph about the German football association invoking an old rule about only players who live in the country they are representing being able to play in the Euros..... meaning that Harry Kane could only participate if he played for Germany...

If I was going to go to a Rammstein concert, I think my first and foremost concern would be permanent hearing loss !

Steve Harley has permanently gone upstairs. I suspect it did not make him smile.

In the English speaking world?

Do Technical Instructor Training courses have to be taken in pairs ?

I know it's cheating, but I'd like to nominate the band "Various Artists" and their run of albums "Now That's What I Call Music" 1 - 117 ......
