2004 - Choose your album

[auslander]

Below is a selection of hard rock records from 2004. The rules are simple: pick one album only from those pictured.

[auslander]

For me it would be between the two groups that rose from the ashes of other groups: Alter Bridge and Velvet Revolver. 

But I'm going Velvet Revolver (and Slither is my favourite track). 

*Props to Wig Wam whose 667: The Neighbour of the Beast would have to be one of the funniest album titles ever!

[CureTheSane]

Tesla was one of their best.
Runner up Wig Wam
Honorable mention Veelvet Revolver

[Glen]

Threshold and JSS are missing from the graphic so will go with the 3rd best album of 2004 - the mighty Alter Bridge debut.

Saw them on this tour in a small club and they smashed it. Mark Tremonti is

Also would be remiss of me not to mention a few others from the graphic:

Wig Wam, Tesla, PC69 AND frontline all very good to great 

[Geoff]

Awesome album from TNT, very fine efforts from Wig Wam and Tesla and a pretty decent album from PC69. But this was part of a magnificent run from the mighty Frontline and they take this contest out for me. 

Best track could be half the album, but I'll go with 'This Lie.'

[lettard]

Frontline

then Wig Wam followed by Tesla

[whiplash1972]

PC69 followed closely by Tesla

I've listened to that TNT album so many times but can't get past the fact that most of it is fairly average

No TNT album is ever a complete package, but at their best they're absolutely sublime. 

There's a couple of fillers, but how many albums can boast songs as good as 'She Needs Me,' 'Lonely Nights,' 'Perfectly,' 'You'll Be There,' 'Live Today,' and 'Everything U R' all on one CD? To each their own, but I just love these guys at their best.

It does surprise me how little credit Tremonti seems to get for his guitar prowess.

[Glen]

My favourite song of 2004 and one of the best ballads ever recorded in my opinion. 

Heartfelt perfection. And that intro from Tremonti is pure genius 

 

 

[Glen]

dedicated to anyone who's ever lost anyone 

[Ponen]

This is tough. Both Frontline and Wig Wam are magnificent but will go with TNT. 

Track - She Needs Me.

[Dead Planet]

Tough one ....PC69, Brides of Destruction, Exodus, Edguy, Velvet Revolver, Wig Wam, Tesla and Frontline... all could win one of these 'best of polls' for me.....if I have to pick one right this minute, I'll go with Exodus....

[tobi is an animal]

Edguy fav track Forever

[Doug]

I know a bit out of the norm, but Green Day's album was huge that year. Also, loved Alter Bridge's album.

[Doggy]

Brides of Destruction 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I think I'll go with Edguy. 

Lavatory Love Machine!

[Crazysam]

I liked several of the albums pictured in the montage, but my top choice would be TNT and favorite song is She Needs Me

[nyoilers]

WASP

[tts42572]

Tesla

[Jez]

Within Temptation followed by Wig Wam
