I voted for Rush but there really isn't a whole lot of bands up there I care for.

I really would of liked to see Kiss- Dynasty or AC/DC - Highway to Hell.

How right you are with the fantastic "Highway to Hell" :tumbsup:

Well I guess I'll be the only to vote for Nantucket but they get my vote. Yeah it was my birth year but I have heard most of what's on that list and there are some really good rock albums there.

Journey - Evolution. This showed quite a progression from their previous release & has damn good songs & music throughout! Classic & quintessential Journey! Blackfoot, Rush, .38 Special & a couple of other's are all terrific & were even more so experiencing them in person, in concert! :drink:

Wow - nice list - shows the great quality of hard rock that year. I don't have (or ever heard) the Nantucket, Zon, Axe or Airborne, but of the rest, Angel 'Sinful' gets my vote, kind of when they started to shift from the pomp sound and more toward pop metal. Rush and New England are second and third.

Where is PINK FLOYD - THE WALL?

 

How many other of you late 30-somethings remember that one getting a TON of play in 1979? I was in 5th. grade that year and remember "Another Brick In The Wall" getting played while at the rollerskate parties (first Friday night of every month). Man, that was a LONG time ago :)

Well Glad to see Journey - Evolution joint leading this poll - easily their best album IMHO.

 

Anyone who says they dont like Journey who hasnt listened to Evolution, cant really say they dont like Journey, cos they aint heard the best they have to offer. :P

I was born in 1979. does that count? :)

Wow, those rumours I heard about you being sexy must actually be true! As far as I know, a lot of stunningly handsome babies were born in 1979... especially in Sydney on the 9th of May.

Since there was no sign of Kiss' DYNASTY or Judas Priest's UNLEASHED IN THE EAST on this list, I went with Cheap Trick's DREAM POLICE. Cheap Trick were at the top of their game at this time.

 

 

Agreed.. Plus No AC/DC????? Didn't "Dirty Deeds" Come out in 1979????

 

I woulda picked that album..... :tumbsup:

Dirty Deeds was actually 1976, tho it didn't get released in the US till 1981 ... you're probably thinking of Highway To Hell.

    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
