Behind Living Colour, Kix and GNR lies? Trust me I've pretty much hated anything Queensryche after Empire to today if it involved Geoff Tate, although I did love the last one with the new singer.

 

Operation Mindcrime is still number 2 on my all time fav release list.

Yep. That album changed my life. And I first heard it eighteen years after its release. It still holds the standard for Progressive Metal.

3. Autograph - Missing Pieces - 1988 - 85
4. Aidean - Promises - 1988 - 82
5. 1927 - …Ish - 1988 - 80
6. Babylon A.D. - In The Beginning - 1988 - 78
7. Aina - Living In A Boy's World - 1988 - 77
8. Adrian Dodz - Adrian Dodz - 1988 - 76
9. Black N' Blue - In Heat - 1988 - 75

21. Van Halen - U0812 - 1988 - 39
People will say - OMFG you poofter, why is Autograph in your list? That was released in 1997, you mighty big homo!
Well that's not how I'm going to roll with my ratings. If I have a recording (basically all Retrospect titles) that is released at a later date, but it clearly says when the songs were recorded, that album is going in the list for the year it was recorded. No exceptions. That's where it belongs and those albums are it's true peers. :)

More likely they'll say how the hell does New Jersey score 93%??

 

Wowser dude, ill admit it contains 3 or 4 of their best songs but there's quite a few weaker moments as well.

Yeah, a bit of creative reviewing from me there... which will happen where I see fit, lol.

 

'Homebound train' scored a 6, but I did not include 'Ride cowboy ride,' (which would have actually had a cool hook if recorded properly) and 'Love for sale' which I regarded as interludes and other such stuff. I do include plain bad songs in my scores (like 'Homebound train') but the obviously non-serious, pointless kind of evidently non-album tracks, I don't like to include those.

 

Anyway, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to and that's how I roll. As for the rest of the album, it's pretty freakin' amazing and holds a lot of sentimental value too.

This is my issue. I don't consider my opinion to matter much, as there are so many albums I have yet to listen to.

What a freaking year. At this stage I was buying three albums a week. The sheer joy of going down the record shop and picking up the new stuff. kerrang was compulsive reading.

 

10? 20? No chance. I still regularly listen to this 30.

Not heard that Jojo. Intrigued.

 

Yeah, what the hell is that?

 

<checking the database>

 

 

 

Hi-tech AOR band from germany, went on to form Roko. Only one album, but has always been one of my faves from the era.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
