Lynch Mob - The Brotherhood. 100% real hard rock - no Italian weirdos writing all the songs, no guys on the record that can't sing or play anymore without studio magic. Just a kick ass album from start to finish.

Honorable mentions:
Terry Illous - Gypsy Dreams
Wasp - Golgotha
LA Guns - Tales from The Strip
VH - ADKOT
Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad

When I read the title, Somewhere In California was the first album that came to mind, and there you had it first.

I saw this listed a couple of times. Gave it a listen and whilst it isn't terrible I have no desire to ever listen to it again.
