& then

DON'T Believe A Word - Thin Lizzy

ONCE In A Lifetime - Vandenberg & then Alone AGAIN - Dokken (FF was so fast that my first one was a sec or two behind his)

Breaking Waves - Neal Schon

Way Back To The BONE - Glenn Hughes

Livin' In A World GONE Mad - Sahara Rain

O Father - House of Lords (great song that stays with ya for some time)!

Call OUT The Warning - Fifth Angel

Yep. that's what I put in my Bacardi!

Maybe the "reason" they split up was the old, classic & for the most part oft used reason/excuse/explanation of "artistic differences" which tends to get used with most bands/members when they need a break from each other (like a vacation wouldn't do the trick? , hell, some bands take years off/away from each other and/or in between recording sessions, tours or P.R. stuff), but it may have been the boozin', the broa...(no offense to the any/all ladies ) er, ladies & then you have the record exec's wanting/waiting for the next "hit" single or record, lol, cd, well, whatever. Oh, & then there's that little thing named druuuuuggs' involvement for all the ingredients of a split up, not to mention probably lack of ideas for new material, in some cases. Thas IMO, of course I could be wrong!

GOODBYE Blue Sky - Pink Floyd

DARK Lady - Scorpions

There's Only ONE Way To Rock - Sammy Hagar

Glory - Positive Buoyant

"Sing For The Day" - Styx

Sea of Life - Saxon

I went with Dokken, but I must say this is one of the toughest poll's! Most, if not all, of the bands were really in stride with these releases. The combination of Dokken's melody & Lynch's fretworks are exceptional, but Warrant & Crue's releases' were & are still up there! Man, this was a tough one!

KINGDOM of Desire - Toto

Flow River Flow - April Wine

HEAVEN is Falling - Jaded Heart

Southbound TRAIN - Tangier

THERE's Another Side - RTZ

ANOTHER day - Fastway

JUST A Little Bit Of Love - Johnny Van Zant

Ok, studio album? I went with III, it has different styles, beats & great songs. 'Since I've been...." is a fantastic blues song & how many bands were bold/crazy enough (at that time) to mention a Tolkien reference in a song? Yep, there is 1. If this was for favorite studio 2 lp's, I would go with Physical Grafitti in a second. They also took quite some time off before recording it, too. (I think 2 yrs?) Although 'Presence' has and is 1 of my personal fav's. Good & tough (for me at least ) poll!

Something with Cherry in it.....on it....consisting of, um, cherries maybe? Great song & band! Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East
