I think all their early albums (up to and including Detonator) were great. Such memorable riffs and melodies.  Out of the Cellar gets my vote for best album, slightly edging out Invasion.  Infestation was a good comeback.  Always wish they'd have put out one more album with that lineup.   Favorite song is really hard, so many good ones.  But I selected one from each of those first couple albums with my vote.

You've put in a lot of time setting this up. Thanks for that mate, but this is one of your hardest one's yet! I know it's a cop out, but I  couldn't possibly pick a favorite album (from the 80s) and most songs for me are memorable.

You missed Nobody Rides For Free(my fav Ratt song). For the record, Ratt is a top 3 band for me!

Like Dokken, I am creating a Best Of Ratt collection. They sure were awesome the first couple albums!

Did I miss the Dokken poll?  Another top 3 band for me!

Lol, I think you put 'Over the edge' instead of 'Nobody Rides For Free.' I voted for it with that intention. 

I had to show real restraint to not pick most their early tunes. Just tried to select the best of the best. Pretty 'Detonator' heavy and that's my album pick too. 'Out of the crllar' next.

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.
