From his upcoming release JukeBox Junkie

I don't mind the song, but some of those moves/poses are cringe worthy...  

Aerosmith - Greatest Hits (1980)

Bad Company - 10 From 6

Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock n Roll

The Eagles - Greatest Hits

Foreigner - Records

Hall & Oates - Rock n' Soul Part 1

Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Voume I & Volume II

Journey - Greatest Hits

Kiss - Double Platinum

Ratt - Ratt and Roll 8191

------------------------------------------------------

Glancing through  my collection,  these are some of the greatest Greatest Hits collections in my opinion... they've all taken on a life of their own, and are recognized as essential parts of your collection, even if you already own all the songs on them elsewhere (other than bonus tracks of course). Ratt and Roll 8191 is probably my most listened to Greatest Hits disc ever.  

Dusty Hill's last recording with the band 

Sleazy hard rock from Pensacola Florida; fucking loving this one!

New track “Forest”

The entire album is solid, but “The Only Thing That Matters” is Yacht Rock perfection! One of my favorite songs of 2022 so far. 😎

*Yes, this was already posted above, but I’m re-posting to highlight how f’n good it is 😜

Revisited this one today… 

For whatever reason, it didn’t do much for me when it came out last year, but it really hit the spot today. Good, solid metal that’s better than quite a few of Judas Priest’s releases from the last 25 years. Well worth checking out 👍  

Visualizer video 

New song “Degradation Rules”

Interesting 🤔 Techno featuring former members of Ghost… definitely not my normal listening fare. 😜

LOVE the video! 

Been through this one several times over the last few days, and am loving it! 😎

Creye III is on its way… 👍

Simple thread idea… whenever you get goodies in the mail; post em! 
 

Todays haul… a literal yin and Yang! 😜

Anthrax - XL

Page 99 - For Imagination’s Sake

He is right about the Def Leppard album. I find that it took me 4 listens to fully appreciate it. It's a good album. I could do without the two Alison Krauss tracks, but other than that there are some really good songs deeper in the tracklist. I know it is popular to hatd on the Leps in HH, but I feel people are missing a good album. 

If I were to do my 2022 top 5 list right now, Def Leppard are definitely in it…  I find myself enjoying it more and more with each spin.

FYI, the deluxe version of DSH features a Joe only version of “Lifeless”. I don’t mind the version with Alison Krauss, but I absolutely can NOT get into “This Guitar”; it’s the lone song that I usually skip. 

I’m thinking of picking up the new one and working my ways backwards 👍

Other reviews are stating the bad production is only on 2-3 songs and has been overemphasised by criticism.

Well, the bad production is there throughout, but like I said in the Journey thread, hidden beneath it is a decent album, particularly if you drop your least favorite 3-4 songs from the running order. Regardless, I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews for the album out there, so it’s obviously not a big issue for some folks. 🤷‍♂️
 

Great production can’t save a bad song, but bad production can drag a great song down a bit unfortunately. 
 

On a different note, I always like watching Brendon’s stuff, as there are usually a handful of releases that I didn’t even know about in his lists. 👍

Damn, these guys have been around for a while, and have somehow never had an album submitted to HH... 

I quite like Saturday Night... investigating further. 

Just ordered the CD; good stuff!  

Palace - One 4 The Road

Junkyard - Lifer/Last of a Dying Breed single

Top releases of 2022 so far for Mr Snyder...  yep... bad production and all, Journey is in there . ;-) 

Much like Alice In Chains, I have to be in the right mood to listen to Disturbed, and this suits me just fine today!
