Tough one. Saw Marcello/Vestry and thought that's the clear winner. Then HEAT is in there too, making a magnificent top three, with Hinder at the top of the pile. Three superb albums, but that Hinder album is pretty off-charts.

Can't even try to split 'Lost in the sun,' 'Loaded and alone,' 'Heaven sent' and 'Last kiss goodbye' for best song. In fact, I'm going to make a point to try and put this album on when I get home. I hope the kids are into it, lol. :)

Great albums from Journey (very unexpected), Brother Firetribe and HOL too.

from the graphic Marcello Vestry

But the glaring omission is the magnificent Work of Art debut which would easily be my no 1 for 2008.

Also the first great album from Eclipse as they burst onto the scene.

Nobody has yet mentioned it, but that Crue album was actually pretty decent I thought. Not my favourite though. That was a toss up between Brother Firetribe and Heat. But I'm going with Brother Firetribe as this is my favourite album of theirs. The title track is my favourite.

Yeah, it's a cool album. As was the SOTU one. And Nickelback and Tesla. Seems like 2008 was a really, really strong year.

It gets even better. I obviously know what is in 2010 and I can tell you I have no idea how to choose just one album for that outstanding year. You will see it tomorrow night, what a year...

Dokken LSA, and what a great year that was. BF, Crue, Shinedown, and Whitesnake rounded out my top 5 👍

2010 is a bit like 2021.

You can probably fairly easily narrow down a top 10, but that top 10 could change places for the top spots on any given day

A lot of great albums that year.

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
