I totally get what you’re saying about the songs coming across much differently live. This happened to me on Sabbath’s Dehumanizer tour, at first I wasn’t that crazy about the album, their show changed that completely.
Ace put out such a strong album. Rolling Stone didn’t even mention it.
Great list, but I still wouldn’t put Accept or Priest up there, the others look interesting.
The only albums that came out that I really liked were Ace’s, and Weezer, but I don’t get as involved as I used to.
I would add:
Crobot- Something Supernatural
Nashville Pussy- Up the Dosage
Scorpion Child’s eponymous debut
Blackberry Smoke- Leave a Scar- Live in North Carolina
Slipknot- .5: The Gray Chapter
