Mine is The late 90's outing "The Unforgiven" with Kelly Keeling. Simply the overall best album musically and lyrically from him. Great stuff!

I was introduced to MSG with Perfect Timing and while that's a decent album I didn't really start listening to him until the 1991 self titled release (which I find near perfect in every way)

Now, I went back and rediscovered the Barden era and find One Night at Budokan to be my fave Barden era release.
