Ok, I'll go first here...anyone who's seen my posts in the comments section here knows that I'm NOT really into AOR, so this'll probably be VERY interesting! My top 10 in no particular order: Toto - Pamela Survivor - Burning Heart Styx - Renegade Rick Springfield - Rock of Life Journey - Seperate Ways Journey - Signs of Life Jefferson Starship - No Way Out Lou Gramm - Ready or Not No More Johnny - Keep On Dreaming White Wolf - She

CD wise, been listening to... Tyketto - Don't Come Easy Mr. Hate - Fragments (Still can't get over what a great eBay find this was! ) I've also been listening to TONS of MP3 stuff by Jillson,Rock Candy,Concrete Jungle, Tindrum, and Sgt. Roxx! In-freaking-credible! Big shout out to one kickass trader I met here on HH!

Jamming to these at work this morning... McQueen Street - S/T ( "In Heaven" & "My Religion" ROCK! ) Extreme - The Best of Extreme House of Lords - S/T (Still rocking to this; the dose last night wasn't quite enough! )

That's Corabi with ESP (Eric Singer Project) doing that one,and yes, Corabi can tear some shit up when he gets cranking! The ESP disc is one disc full of cover songs that I really enjoy!

Let's see, listened to these all day at work: AdrianGale - Under the Hood (Not feeling the love on the live tracks! ) Firehouse - Prime Time (Good stuff,harder than normal for them; not quite as good as their first coupla discs) McQueen Street - 2 (Loving it! Picked up right where they left off!) Listening to these at home: House of Lords - S/T Autograph - Buzz (Interesting....VERY light, but pretty good)

Holy Crap! I scored 8/10! I seem to know the difference between serial killers and programmers...is this good ........or bad?

Listening to.... TV in Flames - Drool (3 former members of Radio Active Cats....VERY similar to Great White) AdrianGale - Under the Hood (Good, but way too short....) WWIII - S/T (Woooo-hooooo ass-kicking melodic metal ) Getting ready to pop in Neal Schon - Late Nite

WELL????????? WELL??????????? I'm DYIN' here!!!!!! Listened to it all the way one time...."Rescue Me" stayed with me pretty good...good stuff! I'll let you know what I REALLY think of it after I give it another listen or 2....been listening to so much new music this week, it's hard to digest it all! Of course, I think you've heard a new song or 2 yourself this week! * Listening to Widowmaker - Blood & Bullets right now....good stuff! Gonna put in Craig Goldy - Better Late Than Never here in a minute....

OMG!!!!!!! Funkolicious is the WORD!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: A WONDERFUL friend just sent me the "Takin' It To The Next Level" and ...........OMG!!!!!!!! I am LOVING this!!!!! I have GOT to find out more about these guys now!!!! ANYONE???? Tell me something!!! Billy Fogarty is the singer on "Takin' It to the Next Level" Racer X - The Scream - DC10 info @ SleazeRoxx

Listening to these this afternoon: Bulletboys - Greatest Hits:Burning Cats & Amputees Tyketto - Strength in Numbers Snakeryder - D.O.A.

Hey Blue, you can listen to some of their stuff at: Nine 24 to see if you like it......they're a rowdy bunch! * Look closely at the girl you see on the page with them.....you might just notice something interesting about her! It's Alex Arden, a former Pentouse Pet of the Month......

Let's see, been listening to: Desperado - Bloodied But Unbowed (Never been a real big Snider/Twisted Sister fan, but this one RAWKS!!! Love "The Maverick", "There's No Angels Here" & "Emaheevol " .......big shout out to Christine on this one! ) Nine 24 - Five Bucks a Cup (A sleaze rock concept album....little strange but good...... ) Johnny Lima - Made in California ( Can't bring myself to stop playing this one yet! )

Been listening to.... Marchello - Destiny (Kinda light, but A LOT of talent displayed here...I believe I prefer their 2nd, unreleased disc over this one;good though!) Y&T - The Ultimate Collection (Y&T rules! ) Johnny Lima - Made in California (I'm 5 songs in on this one, and it ROCKS! metalmaniac I see why this was at the top of your list for 2003....excellent stuff!)

Been listening to.... Tesla - RePlugged Live (DAMN what a great live disc!) Swingin' Thing - S/T (EP) (Got a CD-R of this one...not bad, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't pay $60+ dollars for an original!) Tyketto - Take Out & Served Up Live

Currently in the middle of a double dose of Y&T....listening to "Down For the Count" and "Black Tiger"......damn I love this band!

Well, naturally, some of the songs sound like good ol' Y&T, but quite a few of them are good, blues-based hard rock. Dave's a helluva guitarist as well as vocalist, and it really shines on his solo stuff...if you're into the bluesier side of rock, you'll definitely like it.

Listening to Meniketti - S/T and Mennen - Age of Fools at work today....I've got the 55 year old lady I share an office with singing along with Joss Mennen....kickass!!

Been listening to..... AdrianGale - Re:Program Awesome 80s style hard rock! 7 Months - S/T Interesting band...part progressive, part AOR. Kind of a unique sound, but none of the songs jumped up and grabbed me....not bad though. Big Bad Wolf - S/T WOW! Listening to this disc as I type, and all I can say is.....check the comments section here at HH,and BELIEVE THE HYPE! This sucker kicks @SS!

Listening to some new goodies over the last 24 hours.... McQueen Street - 2 (Welcome back McQueen St! Unlike so many other bands who try to update their sound to sound more "modern", these guys stick to their guns and deliver a disc that picks up right where their self-titled debut left off.....GOOD STUFF! ) Firehouse - Prime Time (Have only heard a few songs so far, but liking what I'm hearing ....) Craig Goldy's Ritual - Hidden in Plain Sight (One of the UGLIEST CD covers I've ever seen, but behind that horrid cover, is a disc full of great hard rock....thanks to those who recommended it...Blue Charvel, Christine, and Mike G.)

Gotta add... Mr. Hate - fragments to the list of favorite cheap CDs! This one can usually be picked up on eBay for around $5, and it ROCKS! If you're into straight ahead hard rock akin to Tesla,Dokken,Scorpions, Talon,Vicious Mary, etc.... grab yourself one of these the next time the opportunity presents itself; you won't be sorry!

Let's see, still listening to the Y&T - UnEarthed disc, along with: Mr. Hate - Fragments (WOW! Had never heard of these guys, and snagged it offa eBay for $5 just for the hell of it...and I'm glad I did. Excellent hard rock from these German guys, with influences ranging from Tesla & Dokken to Shotgun Messiah and Crue.Lead singer sounds like Marq Torien AT TIMES,but actually has a pretty unique voice. Good stuff!) Meniketti - S/T & Dave Meniketti - On the Blue Side (Heh-heh, I'm on a Meniketti/Y&T kick here lately) Peril - Kiss of Fire (RARER than a virgin after prom night! Hard rock outta Michigan with some glam influences present. The production is a little rough in places, but overall a pretty good indie release.)

Listening to Y&T - UnEarthed Vol.1 right now.....DAMN! Leave it to Y&T to put out a collection of demos & unreleased recordings that blows away most of the music coming out today! This f*cker ROCKS! "Standing In the Fire" is an asskicker of a song, followed up by a ballad, "In the Name of Love" that I can not believe didn't make a record before now....AWESOME! Well worth getting IMO!

Let's see,been listening to the following this weekend: Tesla - The Best of... (Man these guys F'N ROCK! Looking forward to their new release in 2004!) Mechanix - Regenerator (KICKASS disc!) D.C. Cooper - S/T (DC is one helluva vocalist) Don Dokken - Up From the Ashes (Love Dokken, but this one is harder for me to get into....a coupla good songs here)

They may have sucked live, but I really enjoy both the Dirty Deeds CDs...working on getting their "Blown" CD released under their current moniker of just "Deeds".....

Listening to Dirty Deeds - Danger of Infection at work today....GREAT melodic metal!
