One of the catchiest choruses I've ever heard is "Love Bomb Baby" by TIGERTAILZ. That song practically defines what a great glam-metal anthem should sound like. Monster hooks with shout-it-out gang backing vocals. Whenever I listen to that song, it sticks in my head for days. I guess you could call it taffy for your eardrums...

 

Keep the faith.

Bulletboys - Smooth Up

David Lee Roth - Just Like Paradise

Mr. Big - To Be With You

Poison - Stand

Queensryche - Last Time in Paris

Quiet Riot - Trouble Again

Ratt - I Want a Woman

Skid Row - Firesign (If you've never heard this song, I'd reccomend picking up "Subhuman Race" just to do so...in-freaking-credible!)

Slaughter - Up All Night

Tigertailz - Love Bomb Baby (Catchy as hell!)

Twisted Sister - Wake Up the Sleeping Giant

Vain - Laws Against Love

Van Halen - Love Walks In

Warlock - All We Are

Tyketto - Forever Young

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

Yngwie Malmsteen - Heaven Tonight

 

 

Hmmm, wish I could've thought of some more! ;)

 

Seriously though, when I think of the songs listed above, I don't think of a guitar solo,a bass line, a particular drum beat, or even the singer, it's the chorus, the words, and how well they flow. These songs, to me, have it going on!

Man, forgot 1 of my all time favorite songs, it may have never been officially released but I have a demo from a band called Wikked Gypsy, I believe they were from L.A. but I may be wrong. The song is Shoot Me Down Again. If you can find the demo it's definitely worth a listen.

There's also "Don't Say You Love Me" from KEEL... :omg:

    • Yes this one's not bad. Have added to my playlist. 
    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
