it dawned on me (as I was listening to them today) that I don't think this band has been mentioned BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION not from a Plant/Hughes perspective but the sound of the band. Especially with Bonzo Jr on the skins Ehh... I'm a major Glenn Hughes fan but I hated it when he formed this band...

About 900. I love collecting but there may come a point where I simply no longer have the room.

those two albums were good. I even liked the third, which they released under the band name Motherland. I'm a Bonham fan. I found that Motherland album dirt cheap in a used record store about 15 years ago. It's a solid attempt at going grunge. Rumor is a great song. Before Bonham, Jason was in Virg...

They should've just gotten Great White to play some covers.

I never got this board's obsession with this band. While I enjoy some of their songs, some people treat them as if they are The Beatles of glam. Only album I listened to in its entirety is Animals with Human Intelligence and I didn't think it was all that amazing.

Interesting. Even Hurricane's Over The Edge had been on the charts for 34 weeks and they're definitely D-list.

I mean, we never talk about them. Hardly anyone ever brings them up. While I enjoy that first album, I've never seen anyone call himself a Bonham fan. How in the hell did they ever sell 500,000 copies?

I dig this band. They had a number 1 hit with When I See You Smile. Funnily enough, Journey never did.

Been digging Kingdom Come lately. First album is a classic but plenty of good stuff after that as well. Bad Image is a really good album as well.

Honorable mention goes to Zebra.

Exposed was as good as Feelgood. First Sixx AM pretty good as well, but I prefer the sound of Exposed.

made every heavy metal record sound as if the amps were placed in cardboard boxes? He did it with Motley, with Twisted Sister and with Dokken. Maybe he was fine producing poppier acts, but he sucked ass at producing heavy metal records.

I thought this album title was a joke. Then it turned out it was real.

Mine in no specific order: Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love Def Leppard - Pyromania Whitesnake - 1987 RATT - Invasion of your Privacy Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol Riverdogs - s/t Harem Scarem - s/t Dokken - Under Lock and Key White Lion - Pride Gn'R - Appetite for Destruction I was doubting to include ...

Pretty average band. Without Love has two great songs. Not coincidentally, they were co-written by Jim Vallance. The rest ranges from good to pure filler.

Cool bit about Blue Murder. Didn't know Cozy was in that band.

Nitro doesn't even belong in the top 1000.

https://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_metal-hair-art.html I'd say it's not too bad. But some questionable rankings. Y&T top 30? With Europe only at 43? Also, there's a few glaring omissions. No Zebra? Zebra is better than most bands in the bottom 50. Where's XYZ? You're gonna leave out those ...

To me, their 1st 5 albums are all fantastic. I really like Ear Candy as well. Rest of albums are pretty hit an miss. Not sure why Dogman gets singled out as their best. The first 2 are "great'. They were original and fresh. Dogman always seemed forced to be more heavy, but that would be my onl...

"You know Steve, I think Nikki Sixx must be the worst bassist ever in hard rock."

"I disagree Ian, Bobby Dall makes Sixx look like Billy Sheehan."

I've heard plenty of people claim this is their favourite King's X album and I don't get it. To me, it sounds as if they stripped themselves of the elements that made them awesome. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a bad album, there's a couple of good songs on it but also quite a few that sound l...

I'm calling BS. Nobody thinks Rough Cutt were a great band. Their best song was a cover.

I was hoping this would be about him taking some cheap shots at Poison.

You seriously consider Love Is For Suckers their best album? Might have been the case if they had kept up the level of the first three tracks.

Is easily the best song on Reach for the Sky. This should've been a single.

After reading this thread I might be the only one who actually likes reach for the sky. 😆 Nah. As I said above, I think pretty much Ratt's whole '83-'90 run of EP and albums are great. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I dig the 1999 s/t. It's different but most of the songs are fairly good. ...

Good songs from start to finish and unlike Stay Hungry, it doesn't sound paper thin. This is what every TS album should've been like.

I'll throw in another one: Cannata - Images of Forever This is a hi-tech AOR masterpiece with a touch of prog. Dude used to have a band back in the 70s with James Christian from House of Lords. Christian did backing vocals on the album. Might as well mention the Arc Angel debut from 1983, which is n...

He might be an E lister.

I vaguely remember that album. Didn't Tracii Guns play on it?

I'm not hearing what's supposedly so good about this. Pretty average track. Solo was nice, that's about it.

Who's the old lady with her?
