Motorcycle Man - SAXON

Why? back on topic - Seb Bach - Angel Down (half of it is good and half forgettable to these ears) Loverboy - Just Gettin Started Saxon - Best Of WildKard - Mego....

Pretty much a no brainer for me............ 25+ yrs of metal which is IRON MAIDEN.

Not many stand out releases in the modern rock genre this year im afraid. Certainly nothing even close to the brilliance of Papa Roach, Bulletproof or Skillet from 06! Cheers

Is it anywhere near as good as Nightwish? np Goodbye Thrill - s/t Poodles - Sweet Trade Pagan's Mind - God's Equation

PAGAN'S MIND - God's Equation Nothing else is getting a look in at the moment!

HS by a long way

Again..........

'DTD' - Bulletproof Messenger

ATREYU - Lead Sails... BULLETPROOF MESSENGER - Crucial Line........................been a while, still a great album!

There have been stronger individual songs like 'Shelter', 'Gods Come Together', 'Lost in Illusion', 'Followed by the Moon', 'High as a Mountain'. But, overall as an album, yes I agree it is their strongest since 'Electrified' I usually agree with both of you chaps, but not here. I preferred "Thunderdome" by a long-shot, & sold my copy.... Next up: FABER DRIVE - Seven Second Surgery AVENGED SEVENFOLD - S/T You sold 'In10sity'??? lol, it's not that bad is it?? Spinning: Cauterize - 'Disguises' x2..................... You sold it?! Jesus, In10sity is one of my fav albums of 07. I agree the best songs of Thunderdome are better.....but overall In10sity is more consistent. back to topic - PAGANS MIND - Gods Equation ...........again

PAGANS MIND - United Alliance I love this song!

PAGANS MIND - God's Equation Yet another mind blowing prog metal release in 07

There have been stronger individual songs like 'Shelter', 'Gods Come Together', 'Lost in Illusion', 'Followed by the Moon', 'High as a Mountain'. But, overall as an album, yes I agree it is their strongest since 'Electrified'

'Im On Fire' - BROTHER FIRETRIBE

TED POLEY - Collateral Damage & Smile ATREYU - Lead Sails.. BROTHER FIRETRIBE - Flase Metal

Frontline - The Seventh Sign

Gotthard for me. Giant and GnR come close but not enough material to compete.

Well Glad to see Journey - Evolution joint leading this poll - easily their best album IMHO. Anyone who says they dont like Journey who hasnt listened to Evolution, cant really say they dont like Journey, cos they aint heard the best they have to offer.

Is it any good?

Drinkin double shots..feelin fine. Mmm, I like it I like the way, the way it makes feel.

Journey for me by a country mile. Yeah, of course Escape and Frontiers which have already been mentioned. But for me the real classics are Evolution and Infinity.......timeless stuff. Cheers

Jesus, I really cant believe what I am reading in this thread. Mostly I agree with the thoughts and opinions of most posters here, but I totally disagree with some of the comments about 'Sweet Trade'. I think this album kicks the debut's butt! For me there were only about 5 songs on the debut which I considered to be really good....Night of Passion, Shadows, Dont Give Up On Love, Kingdom Of Heaven and Crying. Quite a few were pretty annoying to say the least - Lie of Me, Song For You ( WTF!), the title song, the awful cover etc etc. Whereas here the first three tracks are all up-temp rockers, catchy - good stuff. You have the killer combo of 'Thunderball' (some might not like it, but Ive loved this track from the moment I heard it!) and Bon Jovi-esque 'Reach The Sky'. And towards the end the brilliant trio of 'Band Of Brothers' (killer guitar solos), 'Heavens Closing In' and of course my fav 'Kiss Goodbye' (which is one of my favourite tracks this year!). To be honest after this track I switch off, as the so called 'best track on the album' ( ) pales in comparison. OK, its certainly not the best album this year (nowhere near Ted, Alter Bridge, Threshold etc), but its gonna make my top 10 no questions asked. Cheers.

OK, here are some of mine in all their awesomeness! CROWN OF THORNS - Dying For Love SEVENTH KEY - Sun Will Rise BON JOVI - In These Arms BOSTON - More Than A Feeling DANGER DANGER - Under The Gun HAREM SCAREM - Lucky Ones WIGWAM - No More Living on Lies / Gonna Get You Someday HEAVENS EDGE - Come Play The Game JORN - Sunset Station JOURNEY - Separate Ways REO - Ridin The Storn Out SURVIVOR - Too Hot To Sleep PC69 - Shelter GIANT - Stay & loads & loads more..........the best thing about the melodic rock genre is the damned catcy choruses! Cheers

TED POLEY - (Heads Up!) Look Out Below! Amazing that this song is still going around my head, even after listening to 'Smile' twice yesterday................must say something.
