That's a really hard one. I went with White Lion.

 

IMO, the best album on the list is White Sister's debut but wasn't too much into the 2nd. Also love Whitesnakes '87 and '89 discs and White Heat's album is pretty cool. But I think White Lion's 'Pride' and 'Mane attraction' bring 'em home pretty safely here.

Koogles are we all running out of ideas or is Black bands next. Will it be Sabbath or Crowes? Personally I love The Black Sweden, great Abba covers.

For me, it's White Heart. Classic Christian melodic hard rock. "Freedom," "Powerhouse," "Tales of Wonder," and "Highlands" are all masterpieces.

I thought someone was being racist :P  White Lion hands down. I forgive them for putting out Mane Attraction and still vote for them :anon:

 

 

Mane Attraction kicks ass. You need to give it another listen.

 

 

I've listened to it 400 times and it doesn't hold a candle to Pride & Big Game. Very weak imo....

Geoff, why not Whitecross? Are you a Ratt fan by any chance? ...As you can see from the list, there are some good ones, but I'd say Whitecross deserves to be toward the top, even amongst all of these biggies, they are damn good, listen to their S/T (I may even prefer this over the Whitesnake S/T, K, don't throw shit at me LOL ;) but it's a classic in any circle for sure... Try it and see what I mean!

Hey mate, sorry... Kip's a buddy of mine and I was just surprised by his pick... but I do agree with you to some extent. I am not a fan of christian hard rock, but I have owned all of Whitecross' albums do enjoy their hard rocking nature. 'Triumphant return' has some great moments, and 'High gear' possesses 'Without your love', 'Coming home' and 'Long road' (am I missing one? I thought there were 4 classics off this one) which I absolutely love. The 2 albums after are also quite good too.

 

I sold the first 2 on ebay about 3 years ago, and they both fetched me at least usd$40 each which I was over the moon with.

 

I do like the band musically, don't get me wrong, but the christian message sort of ruins any long-term listening prospects for me as they were very blatant with their message. I still have 4 or 5 of their albums in my collection though... and as I say, I love 4 of the songs on 'High gear'... 'My love'!!!! That's the 4th one - great songs, all 4 of them.

O, okay, I thought maybe you weren't familiar with them. I think your picks of songs are interesting though, as I am more of a fan of the S/T and maybe "Triumphant Return" too ("High Gear" also has its moments I agree), but yeah...

 

I see your point of view on the whole Christian thing (and I am Christian, but don't necessarily like the whole god connection when I wanna rock my ass off you know), but sometimes it can be quite good... Like for instance Rage Of Angels' 1989 disc is in my top ten of all-time, hands down...

:agree: Only heard it for the first time last year, but I loved every second of it. Great disc - not in my top 10 of all time, but an excellent peice of hard rock either way.

 

And yeah, glad we cleared that up too. I have no problem at all with anyone picking Whitecross from this list if that's who you like best... just personally surprised by Kip's choice. :D

Great White.  I love their vibe and Jack's voice.

 

Whoops, I said in my first post it was a competition between White Lion, Whitesnake and White Sister, but I forgot about Great White. They were actually the main contenders against White Lion. I LOVE everything Great White have done... as Chad correctly says, they have such an awesome vibe and their debut and the 'Once bitten' and 'Twice shy' albums are truly superb. I actually really miss 'em. And Kendall on the axe... what a player!!! HUGE fan of the band and they're easily my 2nd choice from this list. :)

Hmmm, I love Whitecross, but I cannot pull myself together to say their my definitive fav out of this great batch of bands... I too love Great White, White Lion, White Sister, Whitesnake (just a classic '87 release that's undeniable), heck I even dig the hell out of the rare White Eagle "Bustin" disc you know, but my only point was I think Whitecross can hold their own in this group, and I thought you were suggesting that someone is nuts for picking them (cuz I thought maybe you hadn't heard them), but I can see clearly now that this isn't the case and you've even jumped into some Christian boundaries (as I kinda remember you saying you hated Christian tunes maybe from another post), but right on Geoff, seems like you and I have similar tastes really...

White Sister & White Heart by a long mile.

 

The White Sister debut is one of the best Hard AOR/Pomp releases ever (the 2nd album was no slouch either), whilst White Heart's 'Tales Of Wonder' is just that - Wonderful and one of the bestest AOR albums in my collection. :headbanger::headbanger:

 

If I have to choose (which I do) then White Sister by the narrowest margin.

  • 2024 HH Donation Drive

    Please support Heavy Harmonies! The donations goal is the out-of-pocket expenses to run the main site and this board for calendar year 2024.

    • He did want her to see " Living' On A Prayer" accurately works
    • No support is too small, and every donation is appreciated. Thanks! -Dan
    • Sorry my donation is small, but you know my circumstances Done It will be under name Andrew Sharp  
    • Well... I mean... it's true.   Time once again to nag/beg/plead/insult (wait, what?) to help out covering Heavy Harmonies' expenses. Costs for the site run roughly US$195 a month, roughly the same as last several years.  So when I say "costs", what do I mean? It's the out-of-pocket expenses to keep Heavy Harmonies running: server lease, bandwidth, hosting support, and the subscription for this forum software, domain registration. The 2023 drive did pretty well, reaching 83% of goal of covering the annual costs. Let's see if we can meet, or better yet, beat that goal! The donation drive will run through Halloween, October 31.   Anyone who makes a single donation of $20 or more and has a board username will be added to the group "2024 Donors". This gets you the following benefits: A nice shiny icon in your profile showing that you are an HH Donor for 2024:  An increase in the size of your PM storage from 200 to 500 messages An increase in image attachment/upload storage from 20MB to 50MB Exempt from the search flood control (normally if you try and do a search more than every 10 seconds, you get an annoying little "please wait" message) No time limit on editing your own posts! This will especially be useful for those with trade/sale lists as you'll be able to edit them rather than posting revised versions. A warm fuzzy feeling inside that you are helping support Heavy Harmonies! If you donate $50 during the drive, either as a single donation or across multiple donations, you will be added to the group "2024 Gold Donors". This gets you the following in addition to the above: A bigger, shiny badge:  All your posts will be highlighted, because if you show this much dedication to HH, what you have to say is obviously more more important! (just kidding, but your posts will be accentuated). The ability to create a forum "signature" that will be added to all of your posts. If you donate using buttons on the main site, please put your board username in the notes section, and if you donate from here on the forum, please PM me the email address that you sent the donation from! Otherwise I have no way to tie your donation to your membership here on the board. If you are currently in the 2023 donor groups but don't wish to donate this year (or can't), at the beginning of the donation drive, your group membership features will revert to the regular non-donator membership group. Membership in the 2024 Donors group will last until the beginning of next year's donation drive, at which point you can donate again to remain in the Donors group with the same benefits, or revert back to your current member group. PayPal donation buttons are found at the top of all the pages on the main site and here on the forum on the right side at the top, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to: Heavy Harmonies P.O. Box 17021 Urbana, IL 61803 USA If you can't give $20, give $10... if you can't give $10, give $5... it's just once a year. (And if you happen to be fortunate enough to be earning gobs of money, please feel free to give bunches! I'm not opposed to having a sugar daddy... or seven.) As always, your support is greatly appreciated! -Dan
