It's been 30 years since their debut "Surprise Attack" and 27 since the follow-up "Wild America" (my fave of the two)... I don't know about you all, but I don't have the same energy I had 30 years ago either. I think it's merely a case of the guys being a little more mellow and less "hungry" 30 years on if you will. Still, I enjoy a handful of the songs on the disc, with Sons of Zebedee, Silence the Sirens, Lights Up the River , and Rose of Jericho being my faves.

I enjoyed their 2016 debut "Heavy Crown", but wasn't blown away by it by any means. I've listened to "II" quite a bit since receiving it Friday, and find myself enjoying it more with each listen... a "grower" if you will.

Really enjoying this one. I actually ordered their debut, Seize the Night on the strength of the samples from TDPOM and got it a few days earlier. Been digesting both. The debut is good, but TDPOM is excellent!

China - The Very Best of... With Child's Play - Long Way on deck

Earlier today... Last in Line - II and Rain or Shine - The Darkest Part of Me and now... Tora Tora - Bastards of Beale

Actually.... All kinds of people did a version of this one evidently...

An alternate version of Ramsey Lewis - Love Will Find a Way ? Lyrics: Are you feeling down and lonely? Feeling like you can't go on? Just remember love will find a way Tell me, are you going through changes Time seems like it's passing by Just believe that love will find a way I see the tears you cry I see the pain that's in your eyes So many times you were so lonely And no one seemed to care But if your hopes for your tomorrows Are drowning in your sorrows Know your heart will show you the way Are you trying to find a beginning Something just to hold on to? Always know that love will find a way, yeah Is it hard this life you're living? Does the world seem so unkind? Don't you worry, love will find a way Some say we've lost our way Some say the world has gone astray If you know where you are going There is nothing you can't do 'Cause problems will come And they will leave you The world will try to deceive you But the truth will always be in your soul Some say we've lost our way Some say the world has gone astray But if you know where you are going There's nothing you can't do 'Cause problems will come And they will leave you The world will try to deceive you But the truth will always be in your soul Do you want some joy in your time? Are you trying to find some peace of mind? All you need to know is love will find a way Do you want some joy in your time? Are you trying to find some peace of mind? All you need to know is love will find a way Do you want some joy in your time? Are you trying to find some peace of mind? All you need to know is love will find a way Do you want some joy in your time? Are you trying to find some peace of mind? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, it was written by Lionel Richie:

Loving these lists! My Def Leppard rankings... 1. Hysteria (Honestly, you could flip flop 1 & 2 depending upon the day of the week; love em both!) 2. Pyromania 3. High N' Dry 4. Adrenalize 5. X 6. Euphoria 7. Retroactive 8. Slang 9. On Through The Night Def Leppard 10. Sparkle Lounge 11. Def Leppard 12.

Dr. Feelgood 2, Shout At The Devil 3. MC94 4. Girls Girls Girls 5. Saints Of Los Angeles 6. Too Fast For Love 7. New Tattoo 8. Theater Of Pain 9. Generation Swine

My ranking of Lynch Mob albums would be virtually identical except put The Brotherhood between Revolution and Smoke & Mirrors. My favorite Lynch Mob song? The Secret

Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

Hmm, safe to say you're a bigger fan of the Roth era then... Van Halen are my second favorite band, so I'll throw out just my album rankings... 1. 5150 2. 1984 3. OU812 4. Van Halen I 5. FUCK 6. Fair Warning 7. Van Halen II 8. Balance 9. A Different Kind of Truth 10. Women & Children First 11. Diver Down 12. Van Halen III 5150, 1984, and OU812 were a HUGE part of the soundtrack of my youth!

Hey man, it's all Dokken, so it's cool. I totally understand why some people prefer the slightly lighter, more "pop metal" sound of UFTA and ULAK over the others... both are GREAT albums as well. Other than Shadowlife and Don's second solo effort, Solitary, I look at all the Dokken releases pretty favorably.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm on vacation this week!

Okay, who's your favorite band of all time? Got it?

Broken Bones 11. Breaking the Chains (The debut is all the way down at #11, and it's a damn solid effort!) 12. Shadowlife 13. Solitary Live Albums: 1.

Nice!

Okay, this is not my normal listening fare... it's the opening theme from the outstanding 2015 Swedish drama series "100 Code" starring Michael Nyqvist & Dominic Monaghan. It has wormed its way into my brain! I HIGHLY reccomend checking out the show if you enjoy dark, demented ,crime dramas...

Love this one from their debut "Everybody Wants" ...

Vixen - The Best of Vixen: Full Throttle to be followed by The Struts - Everybody Wants

16 New entries at HH: https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/newcds.cgi and 11 at BM: https://brutalmetal.com/cgi-bin/newcds.cgi

John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band - Tough All Over

Helix - Live in Buffalo

I don't think there's ever been any question as to Jamie's involvement writing the song. As I said, the Scream recorded their version many moons ago; even IF Jamie was the SOLE song writer (which the credits on BOTH The Scream and Roxanne CDs say otherwise) that doesn't change the fact that the Scream recorded and released it orignally. They did not cover anything, they did what is known as the original version. Roxanne released their version, a cover of The Scream, last year.

I guess I’m the odd man out on this one then, as I actually find myself enjoying it quite a bit. Temp was in the upper 70s here yesterday and I was driving around with the windows down and Papa Roach blasting! 😎 I was VERY disappointed with their previous effort, Crooked Teeth, so maybe I was expecting Very little from this one? Anyway, I quite like the title track, Renegade Music, and particularly Promises. 🤷‍♂️
