OK, 1990 was so damn good, that I couldn't narrow it down to just one 20 choice poll, so I decided to go with two seperate batches! Man, what a year! Commerical monsters from Poison, Ratt, Queensryche, Cinderella, etc...along with high power indies like Friction, Rock Boulevard, Eli, Roxxi, etc... made this one helluva year for hard rockers! :banger:

O......M........G!!!!!! Make it hard, why doncha?????

 

No prob on the first part.........got no further than House Of Lords ~ Sahara...........then damned if I don't see Spread Eagle.

 

Sat here for 10 minutes staring at the second part.....and decided I just can't do it...... :lol:

 

Roxxi, Eyes, Heavens Edge, Theatre, Victory.........

 

Ok.......yes.......I can do it. Firehouse ~ Firehouse.

Another insanely hard choice. My 2 picks would be Blue Tears and Fate, but unfortunately it worked out that these 2 were in different lists. So, with a deep stabbing pain in my ass, I voted for Blue Tears (sorry Fate :()

 

Of the 2nd list I went for Roxxi, for pure consistency of that killer release. Killed me to pass on Victory, Firehouse, Zinatra and Poison. Even Ratt's 'Detonator' was right up there. :(

 

I say it every time, but this was by far the hardest choice. To review, my 2 choices were:

 

Blue Tears

Roxxi

Part 1 was a lot more difficult than Part 2, as I love the Talisman, Nelson,House Of Lords, Y&T and Fate albums, but the winner is:

 

Valentine - Valentine

 

Along with the s/t Solo album, Hugo's finest hour.

 

For Part 2 - Dead easy for me. One of the Finest AOR albums ever to come out of Canada.

 

Boulevard - Into The Street.

Part I~ Queensryche's Empire. At the time, this album was so far ahead of the standard rock coming out. To this day, one of my all time fave albums.

 

Part II~ Eyes' S/T album. This one is killer throughout. Just a solid album and JSS shines. Essential.

Damn Whip, why'd you have to put Firehouse, Love/Hate and Stryper all in the same batch? Oh well...

I picked AC/DC in the first group and Love/Hate in the second group...

I went with Spread Eagle in the first poll. When I first heard that cassette I was completely blown away, played the crap out of it.

 

Chose Roxxi for the second part. That was one of the harder to come by cd's I recently tracked down, but it was definitely worth it.

Unbelievably hard choices..........but I went with:

 

Warrant and Firehouse....but by the slimmest of margins!!!

One very enjoyable CD that you forgot, whiplash, was The (London) Quireboys - A Bit Of What You Fancy. But from the list... wow, can't decide!

 

Probably go with Extreme's Pornographitti, Warrant's Cherry Pie & Baton Rouge's Shake Your Soul (w/c is to me bordering on becoming a children's nursery rhymes, but one hell of an enjoyable album).

 

LOVE/HATE - great album but when the shock has worn out turns out to be just simple sleaze rock.

 

Poison - Flesh and Blood - undeniably great - a totally different band

 

Eyes - Eyes - of course, with Jeff Scott Soto on board, who would argue. One of the best hard rock songwriter.

WOW! What a poll! In my short time on HH this is the toughest yet to pick my fav's!

 

Part I Fate (Scratch N Sniff) in a close race with Valentine (s/t)

 

Part II Roxxi (Drive It To Ya Hard) in anthor close call with Victory Temples Of Gold)

Hey Whip, You need to do another one of these. This was your toughest one yet by far.

I'm looking foward to 1991. :)

Tough poll, part one-It's almost impossible decide for me I went with Fate-Scratch and sniff. My heart is bleeding 'cause I consider Spread eagle,Cherry pie,Wicked sensation,Pornograffitti,Up from the ashes and Ten(Y&T) masterpieces.

Par two, It's easier there are not so many great albums, I went with Winger followed by Ratt and Hurricane.

    • the debut is by far BJs finest album.  absolute bona fide classic. New Jersey is overrated imo. Prob about 4 really great songs. 
    • Doubtful. Most fans will favour Slippery and New Jersey. Hell, for many years 7800 was considered a weak album by many. The first and second album would only be chosen by the absolute die hards.
    • Roll On Down the Highway-BTO
    • I feel like the fans voting would result in more songs from the first two albums.
    • Looks like a pretty nice compilation to me. That said, this sort of stuff doesn't interest me at all anymore.  There was probably a time it would've but now it's just too easy to make your own playlists in spotify to bother.  
    • Thankfully newer songs are at a minimum, but I really can't see fans voting for stuff from the new album even if they were the two best songs on that album
    • Final track listing revealed. Time to see if it is a genuine vote or the band/label putting in shit from the newer albums DISC 1 1 Livin' On A Prayer リヴィン・オン・ア・プレイヤー 2 It's My Life イッツ・マイ・ライフ 3 Born To Be My Baby ボーン・トゥ・ビー・マイ・ベイビー 4 These Days ジーズ・デイズ 5 In These Arms イン・ジーズ・アームズ 6 Always オールウェイズ 7 Have a Nice Day ハヴ・ア・ナイス・デイ 8 Runaway 夜明けのランナウェイ 9 You Give Love a Bad Name 禁じられた愛 10 I'll Be There for You アイル・ビー・ゼア・フォー・ユー 11 Keep The Faith キープ・ザ・フェイス 12 Bed Of Roses ベッド・オブ・ローゼズ 13 Bad Medicine バッド・メディシン 14 Wanted Dead or Alive ウォンテッド・デッド・オア・アライヴ 15 Blood on Blood ブラッド・オン・ブラッド 16 Legendary レジェンダリー DISC 2 1 Never Say Goodbye ネヴァー・セイ・グッドバイ 2 Someday I'll Be Saturday Night サムデイ・アイル・ビー・サタデイ・ナイト 3 She Don't Know Me シー・ドント・ノウ・ミー 4 Lay Your Hands On Me レイ・ユア・ハンズ・オン・ミー 5 Dry County ドライ・カウンティ 6 This Ain' t A Love Song ディス・エイント・ア・ラヴ・ソング 7 Wild Is the Wind ワイルド・イズ・ザ・ウィンド 8 Tokyo Road TOKYOロード 9 Everyday エヴリデイ 10 I Believe アイ・ビリーヴ 11 I'd Die for You アイド・ダイ・フォー・ユー 12 Living Proof リヴィング・プルーフ 13 Bounce バウンス 14 We Weren't Born To Follow ウィー・ワーント・ボーン・トゥ・フォロー 15 Something for the Pain サムシング・フォー・ザ・ペイン 16 One Wild Night ワン・ワイルド・ナイト DISC 3 1 Raise Your Hands レイズ・ユア・ハンズ 2 Living in Sin リヴィング・イン・シン 3 Thank You for Loving Me サンキュー 4 Last Man Standing ラスト・マン・スタンディング 5 Undivided アンディヴァイデッド 6 Lost Highway ロスト・ハイウェイ 7 Wild In The Streets ワイルド・イン・ザ・ストリーツ 8 Just Older ジャスト・オールダー 9 Because We Can ビコーズ・ウィー・キャン 10 This House Is Not For Sale ディス・ハウス・イズ・ノット・フォー・セール 11 Who Says You Can't Go Home フー・セズ・ユー・キャント・ゴー・ホーム 12 Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars キャプテン・クラッシュ&ザ・ビューティー・クイーン・フロム・マーズ 13 Only Lonely オンリー・ロンリー 14 I Am アイ・アム 15 Burning For Love バーニング・フォー・ラヴ 16 Hey God ヘイ・ゴッド 17 Stick To Your Guns スティック・トゥ・ユア・ガンズ 18 Any Other Day
