BURNING RAIN s/t

 

 

I included this in my 1999 list.

 

After a quick check (Wikipedia, Discogs, official band site), it looks like the first two Burning Rain albums came out in 1999 and 2000 in Japan, but 2000 and 2001 in Europe.

 

So I'm going to include their second album in my 2000 list (see below).

My Top 20 best of 2000 (in alphabetical order)

AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip
American Pearl - American Pearl
Angel Dust - Enlighten The Darkness
Arena - Immortal

Joe Bonamassa - A New Day Yesterday
Burning Rain - Pleasure To Burn
Fair Warning - 4
Fates Warning - Disconnected
The Flower Kings - Space Revolver
Hardcore Superstar - Bad Sneakers And Pina Colada
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Monster Magnet - God Says No
Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Axel Rudi Pell - The Masquerade Ball
Spock's Beard - V
Storyteller - Corridor Of Windows
Symphony X - V: New Mythology Suite
Tad Morose - Undead
Transatlantic - SMPTe
Voodoo Hill - Voodoo Hill

2000 was a great year for my musical tastes. The Symphony X and Angel Dust releases were (for me) the second in a consecutive pairing of album high-points of their careers, and adding to the power metal glory this year was Tad Morose with their heaviest and best album. Bruce Dickinson had also returned to Iron Maiden and produced the best album I'd heard from them since 1988's "Seventh Son..." album, whilst the ever-dependable Axel Rudi Pell put out another solid release.

Hard rock releases included a wonderful debut album from American Pearl, whilst this year's Hardcore Superstar is the only album of theirs that I really like due to its raw energy (a factor that I found lacking on the next couple of albums of theirs that I heard). On the melodic rock side of things, the second Burning Rain album was another quality release, in addition to Fair Warning and Storyteller. And blues rock saw the great debut release from newcomer Joe Bonamassa. But maybe the unexpected highlight for me was Voodoo Hill, a surprisingly heavy rock album fronted by Glenn Hughes who certainly gives it his all (and a singer who had passed me by up until now).

The prog rock genre included more treats from Spock's Beard, Arena and The Flower Kings, as well as the fantastic debut album from "supergroup" Transatlantic. Prog metal, meanwhile, served up my favourite albums from both Pain Of Salvation and Fates Warning.

Already included. From the others I have A.Avenue (boring to these ears, too lite, although nice guitar sound,) and Demon Drive (probably I will list it, since Casanova's Heroes is the reason I have 2 hearts). I am also aware of Damned Nation, have some of their earlier stuff, which probably I don't like because I don't remember it! I had to check my collection in excel form to verify it). Will try to listen to some of the others! Τοο much stuff!

Recently rated DAVID COVERDALE - Into The Light and I think it's quite a little gem for some, for me it's a solid 81.7%, mostly laid back but Coverdale's vocal somehow fits very nice, love it :)

Agreed, I didn't think much of it when it was released but have listened to it a bit over the last year and its really grown. It's like the opposite of Coverdale/Page which I tried so hard that I actually got to like 2/3 of the cd. Now I really struggle with it and really don't care for Coverdale's vocals on it!

Clearly I can't do maths, because I counted 13, but Geoffrey said there were 12.

ah i know, just drop SR-71 from the equation and you get the correct list :D

 

SR-71 > most bands.

 

As for that Coverdale album, wow, haven't thought about that one in an age. I owned it for a long time and for some reason held off on selling it. But I did eventually, and never missed it a second. Wasn't into it at all.
