What do you think guys. And please, feel free to tell me if you think this is a shit idea for a thread... but I've been thinking about this for a while. Maybe getting some classic albums and doing a poll for favourite songs, just to see what sort of stuff people like. I don't know, probably bores the shit out of everyone else, but I'll be interested to see how this goes.

 

This is personally in my top 5 albums of all time and I love every single track. Runners up were 'Quicksand', 'April 2031', 'Andy Warhol was right'... but for me the winner is: 'All my bridges are burning'. Perfect hard rock.

 

So what does everyone think?

'April 2031' for me. But I too love the whole thing (not a big fan of "Machine Gun", but afterwards its killer tunes all the way), so was a tough choice, but this track slightly edges "Andy Warhol..." & "Quicksand"...

Curse you Geoff! :P This is a tough one. Let me just say that this is Warrant at their peak. I went with Sad Theresa but there are so many good ones. Tough one...

I always liked "Inside Out," probably Warrant's heaviest-ever track, and I always got a kick out of when Jani snarls "Get this mike outta my FUCKING face" at the fade out...

IMO, Warrant's best album. Chock full of great tunes. I voted for "Let It Rain", but just so many tunes on that album stand out. LIR is just my favorite, especially for sentimental reasons.

Without having to even think about it I picked "Sad Theresa". At a party in college I was talking to this cutie named Theresa and I asked her if she had ever heard this song. She hadn't and asked me to sing it for her, so I did. It was a great ice breaker and we sat and talked for a couple hours. I bumped into her a couple weeks later and she told me she had bought the cd and told me she will think of me singing to her whenever she hears the song. :wub: My apologies for the boring story to such a simple question. :P "Hole in the Wall" is a close second and Dog Eat Dog is my favorite Warrant cd.

I was expecting many more votes for ''Bitter Pill'', simply one of the best songs ever, the mad German choir part still makes me pump my fists. Although the frontrunner at this time in the poll ''All My Bridges Are Burning'' is another killer track. If there was a poll for Cherry Pie my vote would be for ''Mr. Rainmaker'', it's simple, but hair rock at its best.

"Bitter Pill" is great. The "dueling voices/speaker" part is great. But, through and through, DED is just a superb album. Cherry Pie is only slightly behind it, but Dog is still Warrant's finest work to date.

First off, great poll G. Second, great album!! I have always loved this one. I still listen to the DRFSR more but I am a traditionalist. I went with April 2031. Great song but so are the rest of them. A very solid album. :banger:

Hmm, a good mix of votes here. Two surprises: (1) That 'Quicksand' doesn't have more votes. (2) 'Andy warhol was right' doesn't have a single vote yet.

 

Lyrically the 2nd verse of 'Quicksand' is my favourite moment of the disc, and solo is one of the best I have ever heard, ever, in my entire life. :)

 

And yeah, lyrically 'Andy Warhol' (and musically too, in fact) is just superb. Defnately my 2nd and 3rd... oh, and of course 'April 2031' too. But yeah, to each their own. It's cool to see so many different opinions. :)

 

And agree, 'Bitter pill' is f*cking awesome... but as said, I love them all. 'Inside out' used to be my sole "go-to" song when I was pissed off. Love that tune too!

I agree with Geoff and hsf this album is a masterpiece, the best warrant album with very mature lyrics. I pick Andy warhol was right, more than a song a real masterpiece. bonfire,Bitter pill,April 2031 and all my bridges are great tracks as well. What a shame that warrant don't make others cd in this amazing style.

Not Warrant's best but still some good tunes. I'd have to go with Hollywood (So Far So Good).

I voted for Quicksand but every song on this is great. This is great album.

 

If I could change my vote I'd change it to the excellent ballad "Let It Rain", which has become one of my fav ballads of all time.

 

This album should of been huge IMO and they should of really pushed the new Warrant look and sound and great lyrical content of this release. A video for 'April 2031' and 'Andy Warhol Was Right' would of been amazing. But of course Soundgarden put out 'Black Hole Sun' two years later but Warrant could of beat them to the punch with 'April 2031'. The big problem was these bands were supposedly only singing about partying and getting laid but for the majority of this disc Warrant prove that to be untrue with the Jani turning in the best lyrics he's every wrote.

MACHINE GUN!! :headbanger:

 

I remember NOW & THEN RECORDS had a listening party with free pizza and a goody bag.

I remember a hot A&R chick came in and we did a questionaire about the album..

I even caught a free WARRANT t-shirt.

The goody bag had 3 c.d. singles in it.

WAR BABIES-BLUE TOMORROW

MANIC STREET PREACHERS-SLASH 'N' BURN

    • I just found out about Shotgun Mistress great group.
    • Vain: ‘Disintegrate Together’ (May 1, 2024) https://sleazeroxx.com/vain-to-release-new-studio-album-disintegrate-together-on-may-1st/     I didn't want to put someone else's website up here but I wanted you to see this because if you want the CD it says theres only gonna be 200? Ya why bother for 200 but thats what it say's so I thought you would want to know. Your in the USA with me so you got a good shot a getting one. I think it may be just 200 LP's vinyl ..... 
    • I just ordered, Shotgun Mistress – [2021] Shotgun Mistress & Pre-ordered Shotgun Mistress - [2024] Kings Of The Revolution. I just found out about these guys great stuff can't believe I had never heard of ....
    • Man, I really miss places like this! I could spend hours in them just looking at all the stuff. You’re a lucky man to live near there.
    • New album out June 28. Not my style per se, but well executed IMO.  
    • "Still in Love" and "Sweet Melody" by Lancia    
    • I posted about this record store (well, CD store really... it has a fair amount of vinyl, but the focus is CDs) 2 years ago. I go there about once a year, and every single time I do I keep kicking myself to go there more often. Not only for the sheer enjoyment of being able to shop the music genres we love and view all these releases in hand, but because it's so damned overwhelming. There's never time to go through things at leisure, pulling out boxes under racks to rummage, because even flying through things and NOT exploring new artists, it's still 3-4 hours to go through the alphabet... let alone stopping and using their listening station (they'll let you listen to used/opened material, not still sealed merch). It's only an hour and a half drive for me each way, so there's really ZERO excuse for me not going over there more frequently. This time I remembered to take a bunch of pictures, pulling out releases from artists we enjoy just to show what they had in stock... a lot of material you'll never see at any mainstream store (even if there is any that carry CDs anymore). Sure, the prices are more expensive than what you'll pay at Amazon and other online stores, but they're not as bad as you would think, and there are bargains to be had amongst the used material when it comes to OOP discs. And to be fair, being able to view all this stuff in-hand is worth it IMO. (Although every now and then you'll see an OOP disc that is WAAAAAAAY overpriced, but at least they have the odd and unusual.) They have one of those old-school "buyer club" stamp cards, with 20 spaces. One stamp per disc purchased. Every other stamp you get a dollar off, and when you fill a card you get $16.99 off your purchase and then you get a new card. On your birthday, you get $1 off every CD and that's on top of the buyer club card discounts. First the pics from when I was going through the aisles, starting with some general pics. Every single artist has its own title card, so look at the variety and depth of the artists. Also, look at the overstock in boxes underneath all the racks! That's the shit I never have time to go through (except when there's a specific artist I'm focusing in on). You've got CDs in the racks, then ringing the entire room is a shelf of box sets and limited editions, then above that VHS tapes, and above that vintage audio equipment. Sections for DVDs and blu-rays (not just music, but movies as well, including a small section of 4K and 3D titles). There's a smaller upper room level that is nothing but vinyl. If you're going to go, plan at least a full day, not just a quick drive-by. They're open from 11AM - 7PM Eastern Time.     Expensive at $249.99, but how many places have a still-sealed copy of the Vanden Plas Epic Works box set???     And now the stuff I picked up this trip. Most is completist fodder. There are a few artists where I literally want an example of every single pressing, even if I already have other label/year/country versions... call me OCD.               I picked up this one for trade/resale even though I already have it, as it is the LOOOONG out of print original fan club edition.     Hmmm... didn't know there was a solo effort, and it seems to be thematically related to the Threshold album "Legend of the Shires".       More OCD completist fodder. I didn't know that Avalon Records (Japan) licensed releases for South Korea.         Live albums aren't normally my thing, but this appears to be way out of print, and for $10 why not?   A few OOP releases for my multichannel audio collection       I'll be posting more about these once I get my shit together, but I'm WAAAAAAAAAY fucking late to the game when it comes to the Jethro Tull 40th anniversary CD + DVD special editions. They only reason I knew about them at all is that I saw a blurb about the 40th anniversary edition of "Broadsword and the Beast", which is my alltime favorite JT album, the first one I ever heard, and I love the album cover... which led me down the rabbithole of all these anniversary editions and their multichannel mixes. Unfortunately a few of them are now OOP and insanely in the $150-300 range. I ordered all of the ones that were still in print (or that had been reprinted), but there were still 4 that I needed... and they had one of them.   And lastly, the most expensive purchase of the day, going back to previous box set discussions, this was one that wasn't on my radar at the time it came out. Based upon eBay listings, it's now a tough find... and they had one still sealed. No, it's not the Amazon exclusive that was signed by Biff Byford, but autographs aren't important enough for me to spend the $500-$1,000 that the signed version now brings. This one will do nicely at a fraction of the cost... a huge and hefty tome (literally).   So when all was said and done, a great (and expensive!) shopping day, but a place I wholeheartedly recommend visiting should you find yourself out here in flyover country.
