Dr. Feelgood

As noted earlier, the guitars on "Everyone" are strikingly similar to "Somebody Save Me", but that doesn't take anything away from the song. I believe this is going to be a great album. I really liked all 3 songs on their MySpace page, especially "Mindgame".

Crystal Ball - In The Beginning

Crystal Ball - Fire Still Burns

Europe - Prisoners In Paradise The band's finest, IMO. Stellar album, and no fillers in sight.

My choices: Winger - S/T, though i also like DRFSR. Warrant - Cherry Pie as it has more standouts, though "Easy Come Easy Go" off ITHOTY is one of my favourite Winger tracks. Warrant - Dog Eat Dog, though I might have picked Pull on another day. Both exceptional albums! Winger as I haven't heard Warrant's live album. Warrant - Born Again as it has better songs than IV, but both albums were disappointing.

Both GREAT bands, but I prefer both Southgang albums. Songwise: Tyketto - Forever Young Tyketto - Standing Alone Southgang - Georgia Lights (only just) Tyketto - Burning Down Inside Southgang - Tug Of War Southgang - Fire In Your Body Tyketto - End Of The Summer Days Southgang - Culture Clash City Southgang - Misery Southgang - My Best Friend's Girl

I did, check out the the 4th post, I made sure I gave them credit! You sure did...sorry, my bad

I don't think anyone's mentioned Damone...killer band IMO. Aside from that, some of my favourites would be: Saraya Alannah Myles Robin Beck Lee Aaron Dante Fox Private Life Vixen Joan Jett Annica

Have seen a few Lee Child novels at my local library. Any recommendations for someone wanting to start reading his novels? I'm into Forsyth, Ken Follet, Archer, Desmond Bagley etc. so I'm guessing Lee Child should be right up my alley...

Just finished reading Frederick Forsyth's "The Devil's Alternative". F@*king excellent!!!

What are your thoughts on that album? I'm curious, 'cause I've always enjoyed Johnny Lima's releases, even though the quality has dropped with each subsequent release, IMO (with the exception of Version 1.2). On topic: I'm spinning Nasty Idols - Gigolos On Parole It's weird to hear an album full of AOR/Melodic Rock songs from one of the better Sleaze bands out there, but I do put this album on every once in a while, as it's got a pretty nice collection of songs.

Tesla - Forever More

Wildside - Under The Influence Cranked it after a long time, and remembered how exceptional this is!!

Tesla - Forever More Seems pretty good at first listen. The guitars during the verses of "Forever More" are a tad too modern for my liking, and I was a little apprehensive but the chorus put my mind at ease. I also really liked "I Wanna Live", "One Day At A Time", "All Of Me" and "Breakin' Free", all of which stood out. Surprisingly, the songs "Just In Case" and "The First Time", which most people consider to be highlights were the only two tracks that didn't grab my attention.

Really sad news, indeed Just last week i was raving to a friend about how great Blue Tears' first album was. R.I.P. Gregg, and keep rocking in heaven!!

It was always between "Let's Make Love Tonight" and "Take This Heart Of Mine" for me, and i eventually went for the former. Great album!!

"Lad In Sin" for me...over repeated listens, this song has taken over from the likes of "How Many Lies", "Looks Like Love", "Just Another Night", "So Far Away" etc, which are also excellent songs.

Some nice changes there, Dan!!! However, if you've changed "Hard Rock" to "80s Hard Rock", where would new bands who play 80s-style hard rock fit in? In the "80s Hard Rock" category, or in the "Modern Hard Rock" category? 'Cause i believe the latter would contain bands like Nickelback etc, and i don't think a band like Crazy Lixx would fit into that category, so i assume it'll be in the "80s Hard Rock" category and yet the band did not come out in the 80s...it could be slightly misleading..

Dare - Out Of The Silence Blue Tears - Mad, Bad & Dangerous

Dio - Holy Diver

Motley Crue - Saints of Los Angeles Ok, I admit I wasn't expecting too much, but I happily admit that I was wrong. On first listen, this is a pretty raw, in-your-face, beefy album with songs that really stand up for you to take notice. I like the fact that many songs talk about how it was to be at the Sunset Strip in the '80s, I like songs with such lyrics. The first 3 tracks (including LAMF) might need a few more listens to get into, but "Down At The Whisky", "Saints Of Los Angeles", "MF Of The Year" and "The Animal In Me" grabbed me from the word go, and are awesome pieces of sleazy music. "Goin' Out Swingin'" also struck me as a great, blistering closer. Tommy sounds great on the skins, and Vince is surprisingly good. Great first impression, totally unexpected!!

Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School) - Extreme Haven't heard this song in ages but have been singing the chorus all day!!

Dokken - Back For The Attack Crystal Ball - In The Beginning

Tower City - A Little Bit Of Fire I'd given it a listen a year or so back, wasn't too impressed, and had put it away. I picked it up on a whim yesterday, and put it on again, and boy, was i blown away!! I wonder how i thought it to be average back then...it's a great album in the Def Leppard/Danger Danger/Bon Jovi vein. I wonder how i could have missed gems like "Closer To The Heart", "Stop Running", Little Bit Of Fire", "When It All Falls Down" and the awesome ballad "Surrender"!! Is that a great song or what!! Elsewhere also, there's some great hard rock on display. I gave it 3 spins yesterday, and each time it sounded better. The only tracks that are yet to make a mark on me are "I'll Sleep Tonight" & "Ain't Nobody To Love". A great album which i wrongly dismissed on first listen. The vocals are excellent and the harmonies strongly remind me of Leppard & Danger Danger.

Alias - S/T Alice Cooper - Trash Tower City - A Little Bit Of Fire
