Almost impossible to separate my top 10 as most could easily swap position (especially 1 & 2 !!). But I gave it a go. 1. Threshold - Dividing Lines Only just recently released but this was alwa

I may as well do my little rundown now that the year has been and gone. I was just looking at my list wondering where I start and I really struggled. To put that into context, this is why - I have rat

atm...

Devil's Train

Kissin' Dynamite

Degreed

Black Swan

Dan Reed Network

Caught In Action

Treat

Crashdiet

Ronnie Atkins

Giant

then with CiS,H.E.A.T,Tango Down,Gen Radio,GoK still to come with many others...things will change.

Well they are all now released and CiS will definitely be in(where i'm naw sure...or who drops out for it)...maybe H.E.A.T gets in cause unlike most I really like it...Tango Down & Generation Radio are good but some great moments...GoK was to me a bit of a let down if I'm honest....the Top Notch disc and the new Madhouse are also very good.

Some more release to come before 2023...Chez Kane, Captain Blackbeard , Perfect Plan , Wildness , Grand , Satin , Skid Row , The Dead Daisies , Smash Into Pieces plus a few I'm probably forgetting so we'll see.

I'll do what I always do and spend the month of December playing all the contenders over and over until I come up with the end List.

Won't be anywhere near mine either. :(

Nor mine. I had such high hopes  that with Kenny back we would get an album similar to the first 2 but sadly not. Instead the new H.E.A.T album is S.H.E.A.T

For me, (having pretty low expectations after the great II) I find it decent enough.

Decent enough to crack your Top 10, though?

I like the HEAT album. It's just probably their weakest release so far and not something that is anywhere near worthy of my personal top 10 this year.

Can't thank enough the fookin amateurs from the German  online store that cancelled my pre-order of the latest HEAT vinyl!

Update for 2022 as of now for me:

1.  Kissin' Dynamite - Not The End of The Road

2.  Skid Row - Gang's All Here

3.  Def Leppard - Diamond Star Halos

4.  Crashdiet - Automaton

5.  H.E.A.T - Force Majure

Honorable mention - Degreed, Black Swan, Thundermother, Ronnie Atkins

Not sure I see much else coming that will change things for me although the order above could change as I spend a little more time with Skid Row.  It's really feeling like a coin flip between that and KD for me. 

I might try to sample some stuff that I've missed or not given much time to though.

Update for start of November - my top 5 (only including albums I have forked out $ to buy):

1. Fans of the Dark - Suburbia

2. Kissin' Dynamite - Not the End of the Road 

3. Crashdiet - Automaton 

4. Bloody Heels - Rotten Romance 

5. Iconic - Second Skin

I'm probably going to be the only punter to pick FotD as AOTY but the replayability of that album for me makes it #1 for me. I doubt it will be overtaken this late, but you never know.

All decent enough but maybe Perfect Plan is the only one with a chance.

Devil's Train

Kissin' Dynamite

Degreed

Black Swan

Dan Reed Network

Caught In Action

Chez Kane 

Crashdiet

Ronnie Atkins

but things could change when I do my December run through...Ozzy could be in there yet...but I don't see much on the release schedule that should impact anything.
