The album that started the whole underground idol movement and basically made larger labels realize that alt - idol could make money. BiS' major label debut put in new songs plus hits from their indie days. The album also set the tone for what BiS was: experimental, confrontational, and shocking at the time. Idol is Dead pushed the boundaries of what the Idol system and genre could be.
I'll never forget how mind blowing and revolutionary these guys were early on
Decatur, Il 1986... Master of Puppets was blowing up, and I caught the 3rd show of their very first headlining tour there... no seating just crowd the stage, and I was right there in front, mouth agape
After their break, Cliff Burton handed me his extra large red solo cup of beer, having watched me and a buddy smoke some weed
This first effort is just SO blistering and raw, music like this shocked my Crue/Ratt loving ears

I love Some Girls. Great album and song! Before They Make Me Run never gets old.
I think Tattoo You is excellent as well. I have found those to be underrated components of The Stones catalog. Man, we partied to those albums all the time back in college.

When I saw them live about 10 years ago I kept telling our group I hope they play Little T & A but was not confident they would with such a huge catalog.
Much to my surprise they did play it and made my night that much better.
