Better late than never lol! Getting around to seeing some of your older vids. Awesome man! The Scorpions are an enigma for me. What I mean is...I've loved them for over 40 yrs and I usually don't like my metal/hard rock bands playing balads, but damn nobody pulls them off like Scorps! Maybe it's not a ranking like you put it, but rather just your preferences, but I'd agree for the most part on that order....with a few exceptions. That I chalk up to when one is introduced to a band is usually more special. Whatever, we all like what we like and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Good stuff man! Cheers! 🤘🤘
Most people telling me UJR years are best while I like those albums mostly I prefer the more commercial hard rock. I guess it's because what I grew up with and prefer as I'm a "hair metal" guy first lol. Which is also why I like ballads even tho I'm single and never relate to them haha but the Scorps did it better than almost everyone.
Thank you I appreciate it! I think I'd go a s far as crazy world as their last great album. UJR and MJ def have different sounds but they are both classic guitarists. I prefer Jabs but you can't deny the complex sound of the mid 70s playing of UJR. Many prefer it actually.
interesting List, Black out is my Favorite also because it was the first thing i heard from them, Just did a Scorpions Video also, Looked 2 weeks ago didn't see your video, mine isn't a Ranking vid just talking about the Scorpions.
1. Taken by Force 2. In Trance 3. Savage Amusement 4. Blackout 5. Loverdrive 6. Virgen Killer 7. Love at the First Sting 8. Animal Magnetism 9. Rock Beliver 10. Crazy World 11. Fly to the Rainbow 12. Lonesome Crow And the others. Mmm...
Yeah it's a joke. They put Jay fucking Z in there this year not Maiden Scorpions or Priest. They need to change the name of it. Thanks it's a strong comback album of sorts imo. Looking forward to hearing their new album this year or next!
1. Taken by Force 2. Fly to The Rainbow 3. Virgin Killer 4. In Trance 5. Animal Magnetism 6. Love at First Sting 7. Blackout 8. Lovedrive 9. Rock Believer 10. Crazy World 11. Savage Amusement 12. Humanity: Hour 1 13. Unbreakable 14. Lonesome Crow 15. Face The Heat 16. Sting In The Tail 17. Return to Forever 18. Pure Instinct 19. Eye II Eye
There are a lot of UJR era fans out there that prefer that era the most. I like it but prefer mostly the more poppier arena sound. I will say the 70s scorps era is them at their creative peak. In a sense that they had their own sound. TBF yes it is awesome!
I respect your rankings, but it is pretty much what I expected from someone of your age. I firmly believe what people like the most is going to be; A) First exposure to the band B) What they released from the time you were 13-20 (AKA: high school to college years) I was 16 when Lonesome Crow came out (which was the first album of theirs that I owned), so you'll understand my rankings 1) Lonesome Crow 2) Fly to the Rainbow 3) In Trance 4) Taken By Force 5) Virgin Killer 6) Blackout 7) Lovedrive 8) Love at First Sting 9) Unbreakable 10) Crazy World From here on out it's hard to decide, with the exception of Eye II Eye which would be dead last. Rock on brother! You have a new subscriber FYI - Taken By Force does have an alternate cover
Well yeah nostalgia plays a factor and age too. Crazy world was the one released when I first started listening to 80s hard rock and metal but as for Lonesome Crow 1st one or not you have to admit the sound is completely different from everything they've done just about. It's more like Kraut rockish and I don't really like that sound regardless so that's why I have it so low. Thank you though I appreciate the subscribe and the honest opinion. I tend to notice older fans like the UJR era.
I grew up with 80s hard rock and metal so I'm biased there. It's definitely different and it's great for a lot of people but it's just not my style I like that much. A young band still trying to find what they were at that point I think.
@@husq48 loved lovedrive and blackout especially. UJR style is a bit different style that's for sure. It's still very good taken by force being my fav of his.
Wow surprising but yeah check it out it's a very slow moving almost like sensual album for late nights if you catch my drift lol I think that was the point very sexual album.
Worst to Best! 18. Eye 2 Eye 17. Face the Heat 16. Return to Forever 15. Pure Instinct 14. Humanity Hour 1 13. Sting in the Tail 12. Unbreakable 11. Savage Amusement 10. Love at First Sting 9. Crazy World 8. Blackout 7. Animal Magnetism 6. Fly to the Rainbow 5. Lovedrive 4. Virgin Killer 3. Taken By Force 2. In Trance 1. Lonesome Crow Yes, I love Lonesome Crow.
Well I know many that like the UJR era more but lonesome crow as top that's a rare pick indeed. That's why these ranking videos are so cool so many different opinions. My buddy likes it too because he likes Kraut rock I am not sure if it's his favorite or not but I know it's up there.
I haven't heard anyone say face the heat was better than crazy world but that is what makes these rankings so unique everyone usually has very different opinions. Alien nation rips though
My list has changed a bit. I have Blackout at number 4. Also Crazy World has grown on me and I would rank it a bit higher. But I still prefer Face the Heat over it
Your page is underrated. You rank bands most others haven’t tackled. I agree pretty much with this from top to bottom, I liked Return To Forever a little more than Sting In The Tail that’s all.
Yeah I think I said it may surprise people that sting in the tail being so high haha but thanks man. We are very similar too bad we're so far away would be cool to bullshit about music or a collaboration. Appreciate it.
So sad, once a truly great band went on to produce so much drivel! Last album I bought was "Love at First Sting", and that was the beginning of the end.
I don't understand it either. I'm not a huge fan of the album per say but that song is really good. That and Alien Nation. At least it was in that Segal film lol On Deadly Ground.
@@retro_wanderluster9962 I saw them in 2010 in Nashville Tennessee. I love the scorps but after seeing RATT open for them on the infestation tour, I was satisfied and headed home. I do regret not staying though.
@@olegv.khlevniuk2391 I never leave unless it's a terrible headliner haha 😄 I don't have all of theirs but I have a good many missing dying for the world Babylon and another new one
Wow, been a die hard Scorps fan since the release of Blackout. Other than maybe moving Crazy World down a few spots for my rankings, totally agree. Great review and rankings.
Thank you very much. Crazy world was my first scorpions album being mid 30s so it holds higher place with me always dug it. I tried to be honest with rankings in all my videos.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
Amazing ranking. We got the same taste in the Scorpions. Crazy world was my First album from them so... Rock on, dude.
I don't get why Taken by Force cover was controversial. That is just an anti war cover, a theme so common in metal, I mean kids playing with guns in front of a war cemetery, that is great commentary.
Eye II Eye was HORRIBLE...I heard it when it came out in 1999 and I never heard it again...Pure Instict also sucked big time...I heard it too when it came out in 1996 and, guess what, I never heard it again...also I am not really a fan of the albums prior to Lovedrive, I have heard them but I only liked In Trance...the 80's were the best years of the band, Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout, Love At First Sting, all of these albums were PHENOMENAL, I even liked Savage Amusement which came out in 1988, the last 80s album of the band...and then I liked Crazy World, Face The Heat and Unbreakable...Humanity Hour I was ok...Sting In The Tail and Return To Forever I didn't like that much...their 2022 album Rock Believer is probably their best after Unbreakable...nice review :)
I was gonna get a copy of E2E just to have it on tapehead city sale but it SOLD lmao. The website that sells cassettes and does live listings. I thought it would be rare to have but it sold instantly. You and I both don't get me wrong UJR is great and I like some songs like In Trance and We'll burn the sky among others, but they really found their sound and identity with Lovedrive from that point on it was their strength. Most on here disagree with it saying their original albums with UJR are better even had a few say Lonesome Crow was the best lol. RTF wasn't great but it was mostly old unreleased songs that's why and the new album is KILLER their best since Crazy World IMO it's a return to from and has a mix of lovedrive and amimal magnetism and black out like seventh song and shining of your soul great stuff. Thanks for watching!
return t forever's terrible, worst than eye2 eye, less inspired, e2e's not bad despite the change in sound, mysterious' good, skywrite too, and a few others
I listened to it a few times just wasn't for me as for RTF yeah pretty bad but mostly was unused songs from the 80s the best one for me is catch your luck and play it's a good tune but yeah even the ballads on it were boring 😴 but I'm glad you like e2e most hate it. I dig their new single it rocked
1 Animal Magnetism 2 Love at First Sting 3 Love Drive 4 Black Out 5 In Trance 6 Savage Amusement 7 Virgin Killer 8 Crazy World 9 Taken by Force 10 Fly to the Rainbow 11 Lonesome Crow 12 Unbreakable

Great ranking scorpions are a huge influence on me as a guitarist expecially their albums from fly to the rainbow to love at first sting.

How you explain the material on "Fly to the Rainbow" is great music!

@@retro_wanderluster9962 I did as well, but enjoy the 70's hard rock more. The first 3 albums they did after Uli left were very good though.
@@husq48 loved lovedrive and blackout especially. UJR style is a bit different style that's for sure. It's still very good taken by force being my fav of his.
Never heard The Zoo. But it is pretty good. Definitely will have to listen to that album.
Wow surprising but yeah check it out it's a very slow moving almost like sensual album for late nights if you catch my drift lol I think that was the point very sexual album.
FLY TO THE RAINBOW is probably is probably the best Scorpions song.
Maybe I'm not old enough but man I dunno the first 2 albums just don't do it for me. It's a totally different style though so maybe that's why

Lonesome Crow. Prog album. Masterpiece!!!!!
Great ranking - very close to what I would say. Rock Believer makes the top 3.
I wouldn't put it that high but it's in the top 10 somewhere. Maybe the album of the year already.

So sad, once a truly great band went on to produce so much drivel! Last album I bought was "Love at First Sting", and that was the beginning of the end.
I think the song I like best on face the heat is unholy alliance
and after all these years I still wonder why Under The Same Sun hasn't become a Scorpions all time classic...like Holiday or Still Loving You...
I don't understand it either. I'm not a huge fan of the album per say but that song is really good. That and Alien Nation. At least it was in that Segal film lol On Deadly Ground.
Cool ranking man. I've gotta subscribe, I love ranking vids, particularly from someone that seems to know his metal.
Thanks man. It's basically my life and traveling but that's been put on hold. Music is always what I turn to.
I have that shirt my man! Great minds think alike! Any thoughts on doing a W.A.S.P. ranking? My personal #1 favorite band

Thank you for the comment! One of my favourite bands all time! The early 90s is when I got into music at a young age haven't looked back haha 😅
One song I thought was such a jam, China White.
That's such a heavy song and the lyrics reflect the state of the world today
China White and Animal Magnetism are their two heaviest songs!
Looking into their new 2022 realize here it's pretty good anyways
I like it did a review of it
My favorite album is all albums featuring Uli John Roth.
seems like everyone thinks that but I guarantee you the band wouldn't have found success they did if they kept him.
I don't get why Taken by Force cover was controversial. That is just an anti war cover, a theme so common in metal, I mean kids playing with guns in front of a war cemetery, that is great commentary.
I thought the same thing, it was probably some Karen from back then lol thinking it was a political attack on the country so they had it changed.
@@retro_wanderluster9962 So they just went back to their stupid sexists covers lol. At least they used grown women for those !!
