I Hate Myself For Loving You - Joan Jett

DAYs Of Madness - Balaam And The Angel

DAY For Night - Spock's Beard

Don't Talk To Strangers - Dio

Elixir - The Son Of Odin (25th Anniversary Edition w/bonus tracks) Elixir - Sovereign Remedy

And why not? You gotta luv UFO bro Fastway-Bad Bad Girls UFO - No Place To Run (I blame bangerdave) ...

Yeah, not convinced by this ... 'Union Jacks' is one of my all-time favourite albums, and to me The Babys without Waite is like Priest without Halford or Maiden without Dickinson ... I don't see it working

Agreed ...

The World According To Clarkson

AMERICAn Girls - FM

If You Want BLOOD ... You Got It - AC/DC

Classic album!

On a lighter note, saw The Hangover - Part III last night

Love those old WWII movies...my dad never cared for them though...probably had something to do with the fact that he drove a tank through most of Europe during the war... My Brother in law fought in Vietnam,he will watch any war movie or doco but won't watch anything regarding Vietnam. My uncle served with the US Air Force in Vietnam ... he died earlier this year Like my Grandad, he never spoke of his experiences ... I'm tahankful everyday that there are men like them who are willing to put their lives on the line for us ...

Love those old WWII movies...my dad never cared for them though...probably had something to do with the fact that he drove a tank through most of Europe during the war... Yeah, my Grandad never talked about it ... it's only since he died that I've found out about the things he did ... stuff like how he ended up in Berlin at the end of the war, and was airlifted out just before the Russians closed their half of the city ...

Yeah, I've heard FFDP before and I gotta say, they don't personally do anything for me. Not quite as catchy, or shall we say "melodic" are the others you mention. Mark and I have similar modern rock tastes, though, and I know he favours them a bit. I like Stone Sour and wonder why they don't appear to more people here. I guess it's just because no one really has heard them or is willing to give them a go? I only wonder because it's basically pure hard rock / metal they play, and the "modern" part is just a mixing of words. I know a lot of people who are put off by the Slipknot connection ... which is a pity 'cause Stone Sour are actually very good ... like you say, more pure HR/metal than 'shouty blokes with more piercings than talent' ...

The MAGICian's Birthday - Uriah Heep

Eyes Of A Stranger - Queensryche

And why not?

I didn't realise they were still going, either ... a pity, they did some fantastic songs (although I do prefer his previous band, Kooga) ...

I like BFMV's 'The Poison', but other than that they're very much a one-trick pony ... I'd recommend Five Finger Death Punch, who (IMHO) are one of the less annoying and more talented bands in the Funeral For My 30 Second Horizon vein ... Stone Sour are okay, too (certainly far better than Slipknot!)

Metal Heart - Accept

Waiting For An ANGEL - Nevada Beach

Cerys is currently playing Nickelback ... oh, well - we all have to start somewhere!

I like what I've heard so far ... I'll probably pick up the new 'Ryche disc at some point, but I'll be giving Mr. Tate And Blokes a wide berth ... is it me, or is he starting to behave like a certain Axl Rose?
