Europe – The Final Countdown (1986)

Fate – A Matter Of Attitude (1986)

TNT – Tell No Tales (1987)

Alien – Alien (1988)

Stage Dolls – Stage Dolls (1988)

Talisman – Talisman (1990)

Pretty Maids – Jump The Gun (1990)

Work Of Art – Work Of Art (2008)

Treat – Coup De Grace (2010)

H.e.a.t - H.e.a.t II (2020)

 

What do we think? They have the wrong TNT album IMO (Intuition!) but otherwise pretty solid. Also nice to see some more modern albums getting some love.

IMO, of course.

With you there. And an open list of great Scandanavian albums would likely pull in the likes of DAD for me. 

They really do delivery some mighty fine music up there.

how is Work of Art not AOR?

It's the very definition of AOR 

Also the best album in the list

I must not have saved it.
