Imagine the irony if Bon Jovi released a great hard rock album again and kick started a revival of the genre. Oh how I'd eat my words (and gladly so).

I wasn't even a sparkle in my dad's eye when these came out but so many classics! I would add in: Mott the Hoople - The Hoople Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory King Crimson - Red Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Yes - Relayer

I went looking for the album and they have already released about 4 others... never heard of them before either.

Grand Prix - S/T (Rock Candy Remaster) Grand Prix - Samurai (Rock Candy Remaster) Petra - Never Say Die (Girder Remaster) Adriangale - Final Piece (2 CD) Various - Footloose (Expanded Soundtrack) Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted Children Collide - Monument Children Collide - The Long Now Children Collide - Theory of Everything Coin - Uncanny Valley

Those GANG vocals!!! Love it.

Keytars are cool. Don't argue.

A fair call I reckon. But if Jon only cared about what his current fans want, he'd just have pictures of himself on every album cover and he'd keep selling by truckloads to all the middle-aged housewives.

InVader is basically halfway between the first 3 and Turborider in sound I reckon. While it and Turborider have grown a bit on me, I much prefer the first 3 albums.

Even Satan would've beaten Hilary in an election.

NYOilers top 5 list of greatest presidents: 1. Nixon 2. Biden 3. That guy who shot Lincoln, he was President right? 4. Satan 5. Bill Clinton's wife, what do you mean she lost???

I mean it IS February now... what's the hold up?!

Not a fan of Dominium. Tried to see why you guys seem to like it so much. But can't get into it. Sounds like a rock version of Andrew Lloyd Webber to me... Cyhra are a lot better. I quite like that but it really isn't a top 5 album. How either of these are better than Temple Balls in anyone's view astounds me. Each to their own, I guess.

I felt for you after that question. Whiplash was nice about it and Karpet was his usual self 😜

When Bon Jovi toured Australia I think 4 years ago all the women in my office at the time were arranging to see him. They all liked his new stuff and werent fans of the 80s output. It seems his main fanbase these days (pun intended) are women aged 40+ and he writes his music for this fanbase. Fair enough. But not for me.

I have that album. Good Aussie band.

I'm the opposite to Geoff. Not excited at all. I HATE country Bon Jovi and I bet it is the same shit. I can't see any chance of getting an album like their first 5. I mean anyone who still calls themselves die-hard Bon Jovi fans based on their last 25 years must enjoy the crap he keeps dishing out release after release.

Who knew there were so many pink beach albums.

Halestorm - Into the Wild Life Morningstar - Venus (Rock Candy Remaster) Roadmaster - Hey World (Rock Candy Remaster) Masters Apprentices - The Very Best of Rage Against the Machine - Renegades Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire Pavement - Brighten the Corners Kanye West - Graduation

I read somewhere they are doing some mentoring of younger band talent or something? Cause like Sweden doesn't already produce the most hard rock bands in the world at the moment anyway...

How many bands/projects has this dude been in already? I get it, he is a good player, but seriously he must be going for the record!

Is this the same Fear Not who released an album way back in 1993? Very good hard rock album.

Keepers of the Flame - Ignition Cats in Space - Day Trip to Narnia Golden Grass - Coming Back Again Fleetwood Mac - Mirage Fleetwood Mac - Behind the Mask Fleetwood Mac - Time Fleetwood Mac - The Dance Steely Dan - Katy Lied (Remaster)

I guess I have to remember it isn't THE actual top 5 hard rock albums of the year, it is just Dan's top 5.

Ok I will throw out a few more just because. Arctic Rain - Unity Grand Design - Rawk Mammoth WVH - II Seventh Crystal - Wonderland Winger - Seven
