Robert Plant - Shaken 'n' Stirred
Bought it when it was released. Listened to it 1000s of times. Still one of my favorites. So different and unique .
KISS - The Elder
Great show chaps a good laugh throughout, especially the beer section.
Aerosmith - Nine Lives
Iron Maiden - Virtual XI
AC-DC - Ballbreaker
Metallica - Reload
The Who - It's Hard
Good pick with the WHO ALBUM
A lot of good material
Rush - Hold Your Fire and Presto
Dio - Sacred Heart
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
The Who - It's Hard
These are terrific choices, except for The Final Cut, which made me want to cut my wrists!
Iron Maiden, No Prayer for the Dying.
Absolutely !!!
I really like it, much more listenable to the stuff that came after. They bore me to death these days.
I love this album! Run Silent Run Deep is such a great track
I've been podcasting for over 13 years and I just stumbled onto the Sea of Tranquility. I'm totally hooked especially the U.K. Connection. You guys have great chemistry. I'm going to go back and check out all of the old shows.
Great show guys!
Starz - Attention Shoppers
Gillan - Scarabus
AC/DC - Blow up Your Video
Angel - Sinful
Little Feat - Down on the Farm
LITTLE FEAT! Yeah, I liked Attention Shoppers, great hooks and variety! Starz should have been big!
Van Halen - diver down . Love it 👍
Me too ! 👍
Most Van Halen fans do
Although it's only three cookies and a glass of milk long, Diver Down indeed is stellar, it's one of my fav ep's!😁
Steven, totally agree with Calling All Stations. I do appreciate this album, and it's nice to see someone appreciate it as well. I l love the UK Connection show! Keep rocking, gents!
Thanks Jeff!
Five that I love that tend to get dissed regularly are:
Starcastle - Real To Reel (1978)
Jethro Tull - Under Wraps (1984)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - American Dream (1988)
Jefferson Airplane - S/T (1989)
Boston - Life, Love & Hope (2013)
Off the top of my head.
1,Deep Purple The Battle Rages On.
2,Annihilator Remains
3,Exodus Force of Habit.
4,Marylin Manson Mechanical Animals.
5,Setherial Lords of the Nightrealm. 👍
Mechanical Animals is EASILY my favorite Manson record.
Force Of Habit is much better than Pleasures or Impact.
Annihilator never get mentioned on here. Good shout.
@@ericrobertson2024Some thrash fans didn't like the drop d tuning on Force Of Habit, but I just thought it made the songs heavy as hell!🤘
Gentle Giant - Giant for a Day. An album of well crafted songs that anyone who was into Toto, Supertramp, Alan Parsons, 10cc, even a smidge of Kiss may like. It just doesn't have weird time changes.
Marillion - I can't make up my mind because there are four candidates and I really like them and tend to listen to them more than the EMI albums
Nothing wrong with GfaD ! It's a pity I wasn't aware of it back in the day - As is the case with all GG albums !
Iron Maiden - X Factor first of all 🤣
Pink Floyd - Division Bell and Momentary Lapse of reason
Queen - Made in heaven...I enjoyed it!
Led Zeppelin - Coda
Almost all Volbeat, Bullet for my valentine (not Temper!) and Avenged Sevenfold albums.
Linkin park - Minutes to Midnight and 1000 suns(my favorite)
Apparently most people think the division bell is a great album which it certainly is not,the final cut is a great album that no one likes
While I find Division Bell to be good, if spotty, The Final Cut (musically speaking) is awful.
Rush - Presto
Priest - Turbo
Floyd - Momentary Lapse
Gonna go relisten to American Soldier now.
Presto is how I got started with Rush, and it's still one of my favorites. Neil's lyrics are just incredible throughout.
Ditto that! Presto was played on a loop in my house!
Turbo isn't nearly as bad as peeps say it is, but that Parental Guidance hokum was awful, I felt ashamed just listening to it.
Black Sabbath - Born Again
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
Motorhead - Rock n Roll
AC/DC - Fly On The Wall.
Ozzy Osbourne - Ultimate Sin.
Fine 5 ...ultimate sounds were ought after bark,,but that guitar..🙏
Ultimate Sin is a great album, Jake should be proud. I lost interest in Ozzy after that.
Born Again is in my Top 5 Sabbath albums, no matter the flack it caught, it's phenomenal. And the Motorhead is a solid choice - maybe not the absolute best but there are some killer grooves!
The main problem with The Ultimate Sin is the icy production. Great choices though.
Kingdom Come - In Your Face
Everyone hates them for sounding like Zeppelin but I love this album from start to finish.
"Do You Like It" is such an amazing song that you want to forking blow your speakers off. Simply hard rocking with no weak spots
As a Zep fanatic, I f'n loathed Kingdome Come for aping Zep's sound, but years later came to hear Kingdome Come as their own entity and really warmed up to their catalog! They can certainly play and that bluesy, groove filled style gets me every time! Now I own most of their albums - strong material from a very good band. Yeah, Do You Like It is aces!
Quo‘s Never too Late comes to mind.. hated it in 1981 - now love it !
The Tubes-Love Bomb
Magma-Merci
The Damned-Anything
The last Tubes album for a long time, it's so odd and different all over the place but I like it a lot it's almost like an updated version of Remote Control.
One of my favorite releases from The Damned
Holy moly, I live in Australia and have never heard of Taliesin. Now I shall have to check them out
Maiden - X Factor; AMOLAD, DoD
Van Halen - Diver Down
Celtic Frost - Shit . . Uh . .Cold Lake
Rush - Presto
AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip
BÖC - Mirrors
The WHO - Face Dances
Great video gents! There are some albums here that I really love. My choices are...
REM - Out of Time. I agree Radio Song is crap, but the rest of the album is amazing. My favourite REM album
White Zombie - Soul Crusher. I don't know anyone who's even heard the first two album, nevermind likes them. To me they're just as good as La Sexorcisto and Astro-creep.
AC/DC -Ballbreaker. The first AC/DC album I owned (on tape!). I absolutely loved it at the time. With hindsight it's not as good as I thought at time, but I still like it alot.
Rainbow - Stranger in us All. My first Rainbow album on CD. Not their best, obviously that's Down to Earth (which maybe could have made this list), but still great!
Paradise Lost - Believe in Nothing. A gothic, synthy masterpiece to me, bollocks to most. The production is a bit crap on the original release, but there are some great songs.
Honourable mentions got to the Blaze Bailey Iron Maiden albums, especially X Factor, Motley Crue - Motley Crue and Whitesnake - Restless Heart.
Mike Batt's an unsung genius like a British Todd Rundgren, some great solo albums but most people will know the songs he wrote and produced for other artists like Art Garfunkel, most notably "Bright Eyes" from the 1978 animation classic Watership Down, Elkie Brooks, Alvin Stardust and David Essex. I've always liked the concept album and stage production The Hunting of the Snark that featured a host of famous singers like Julian Lennon, Roger Daltrey, Justin Hayward and George Harrison.
And don't forget Super Womble 😂
Niche, but I can explain:
The Status Quo covers albums in the 90s/2000s: Riffs, Famous in the Last Century and, the one that really got me, Don't Stop.
First CD I remember my dad buying instead of just existing. We played that thing over and over, particularly the cover of Fun Fun Fun with the Beach Boys.
Nostalgia? Of course but very special all the same.
Great topic guys. Let's see more of these in the future.
Good call on Meatloaf, Genesis, and Queensryche. Many of the other titles mentioned, I can't comment on, but actually UFO's "High Stakes" record was pretty good. I really loved the '80s stuff, so this being their first entry in the '90s showed good effort, but was import-only in the States and so didn't stand much of a chance.
Here are a few off the top of my head:
The Cars: Door to Door - Good variety like on Heartbeat City, but much more of a straightforward rock record. For a band on the verge of bowing out, this was a brilliant effort.
Di'Anno: Self-Titled - This may qualify more as unknown than unpopular, but if more people knew of it, they'd probably think it sucks. Paul's first foray into post-Maiden life was puzzling to say the least, but taken for what it was: good, cheesy, pop metal that resonated with those of us who didn't mind the "sell-outs" so much as a sign of the times.
Scorpions: Sting in the Tail - This was a solid return to form an album before they hit it out of the park with their latest one. This was a nod to their 80s hard rock style from start to finish.
Molly Hatchet: The Deed is Done - I loved the record when it came out. Radio led me to "Satisfied man," but I discovered plenty more gems. I'd equate this album to ZZTop's "Afterburner," both with a similar style and sound They're more musically adventurous here and for the most part, they pull it off. Listen to "She Does" for a good example.
Saxon: Innocence is No Excuse - One of my favorites, leaps and bounds ahead of Crusader; heavy, anthemic, much improved production. To me they did well to merge the classic with the current better than most, going more commercial without sacrificing credibility. They'd go on to do that with their next album.
W.A.S.P.: KFD - They jumped the aggro-industrial trend in the late '90s, but what lay beneath was their heaviest, angriest album since the debut. It blew away SNBE that came before and the listless Helldorado that followed.
In brief: Kiss "Dynasty," The Knack "But the Little Girls Understand, Accept "Objection Overruled" and "Predator," Judas Priest "Ram It Down," Kreator "Endorama" ....
These are outstanding picks, especially that Scorps album! Innocence Is No Excuse gets a bum rap, there is some very heavy tuneage on there. Always liked Ram It Down and that Cars album, Door To Door is excellent! Oh, and those often ignored Accept albums were much better than advertised - viciously heavy! Nice work!
Avenged Sevenfold - Life is But a Dream
Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite
Metallica - Death Magnetic
311 - Music
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
Isn't it mainly Avenged fans who don't like it.
@@daicullinane7746 Their non-fans don't like it much either. Very low rated on most sites
@@georgelamie7001 I only picked it up last week and have played it alot. I really like it.
WTF. This is a masterpiece.
Same goes for The Stage.
These are the greatest musicians now.
Death Magnetic was a great return to their roots, I've never understood the hate for it.
Simon choosing Thor Fantastic! I think Only The Strong is his best. I totally agree with Steven’s choice of the Poison album. And I like the Maiden and UFO albums Pete chose. My choices are Krokus - The Blitz, Megadeth - Risk, Raven - The Pack is Back, AC/DC - Fly on the Wall and Saxon - Destiny. Now I intend to play the Meat Loaf and the Danger Danger albums for the first time.
Deep Purple Turning To Crime
Rush - Feedback
From your picks, I love Thor, Peter Criss, London Town, and Calling All Stations
From my own list not mentioned on the show:
Iron Maiden - The Blaze albums (Just love Blaze in general, Wolfsbane, Maiden, and all his solo stuff)
Judas Priest - Nostradamus (wildly ambitious left turn that I think is good for what it is)
Kiss - The Elder (same reason as Nostradamus)
Manowar - Sign of the Hammer (Very different from the rest in a good way)
Tommy Shaw - Ambition (Gets trashed all the time but I always liked it)
Yes - Union (Hardcore Yes fans seem to hate it but I think it's top tier stuff)
UNION is pretty entertaining !
Wishbone Ash 'Locked In' is a fav of mine, not on many folks' top 5 list of their discography. Many thanks lads.
"Still Waters" - Bee Gees. Love you, Simon!
Burning in the Shade - Tygers of Pan Tang
Brian May and Friends: Star Fleet Project. I've probably listened to this album several hundred times over the last 40 years.
Great show again guys. Quality banter! Great to see many votes for Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason album. I grew up loving this and playing it to death. Still love it - even prefer the 80s mix of it. Cheers lads 🍻
My favorite Udo Accept album is Russian Roulette. Love that one.
Nice! Russian Roulette is undervalued for sure! Don't get why more Accept fans don't praise it!
Steven, respect! I love your 2 top choices. I too saw Poison on that tour in the Barras. I loved it. Without a doubt it is the best album musically by them. I think I will pull out "Native Tongue" later today as I haven't listened to it for a long time. I also love the Queensryche album. It is dark, but I find it full of emotion. I half expected a gung ho type album despite what Tate had said beforehand. I was wrong. Really respectful and thoughtful. Another album I need to dig out!
Great choices.
I love Peter Criss' solo album! it's a true solo album! his best vocal performance! Loved it them... Love it NOW!!!
It probably would have done better if Easy Thing and I Can't Stop The Rain were released as singles! Perfect singles
for the late 70's!!! But PAUL wouldn't let him overshadow him again!
I’m not a lyric guy either Steven 😉 😂
I had all 4 KISS solo albums (still do), and I get your point about Peter’s, and I can still hear some of those Peter songs, so that says something, right?
I ignore the lyrics Eric. You'd rather ignore the singer!! 🤣
@@TranquilityFireReid 😂
Simon is The Lancashire Legend 😂😂😂
Pete Wings over America great pick it is a great live album.
I had never that Poison album until last year. It sounds like a Kotzen solo album with Brett singing. It’s really good. I was quite impressed.
Wolverhampton's finest bitter. But the Mild is the one.
By God, it's Thor!
Kiss - Music from the Elder
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
Jethro Tull - Under Wraps
Yes - Big Generator
Bruce Dickinson - Skunkworks
+
Alice Cooper - Alice Cooper Goes to Hell
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
(Alice and BS perhaps not hated but very underrated albums)
ELP - Love Beach
Queen - Hot Space
The Rolling Stones - Dirty Work
Rush - Hold Your Fire
Venom - Calm Before the Storm
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Helloween - Chameleon
Motley Crue - Motley Crue
Iron Maiden - The X Factor
Slayer - Diabolus in Musica
Outstanding list! The Final Cut keeps appearing on these posts, guess I'll have to give it another go. My initial reaction to it caused me to go into a deep coma!
For UFO, I suggest 2004's You Are Here, which features Vinnie Moore.
As Alan Partridge said, 'Wings, the band the Beatles could've been.'
My picks are
Anthrax - State of Euphoria,
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy, Queensrÿche - Promised Land,
Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden,
Green Jellÿ - Cereal Killer Soundtrack
(Although I think Green Jellö we're trying to be bad! I have the VHS too. Blessed be bands that do not take themselves too seriously!)
OK! with all that said... my pick is Nostradamus! I think it is brilliant!!! Priest doing symphonic power metal is a natural step for them and me!
there are some great songs on here! this is a greatly misunderstood album! If it was properly edited and promoted it would have been HUGE!!!!
1. Iron Maiden - The X Factor
2. Megadeth - Risk
3. B O C - Imaginos
4. Rainbow - Stranger In Us All
5. Metallica - Reload
Stranger in us 🌈 all is a wonderful album
I like good albums too, but...
Demolition Hammer - Time Bomb
Killers - Menace to Society
Judas Priest - Nostradamus
Dio - Magica
Judas Priest - Jugulator
M.O..D. - Rhythm of Fear
Malevolent Creation - Stillborn
Overkill - I Hear Black
Pestilence - Spheres
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
Sepultura - Against
Celtic Frost - Vanity/Nemesis
Slayer - Diabolus in Musica
Testament - Demonic
Coroner - Coroner
Destruction - Cracked Brain
Iggy Pop - The Weirdness
Iron Maiden - The X Factor
Pink Floyd - A momentary lapse of reason
The Yardbirds - Little Games.
For a far more head-scratching Mike Batt collaboration than the Justin Hayward album, in my opinion, check out Lemmy’s version of “Eve of Destruction”.
The Black Crowes By your Side and Warpaint.
To be fair Bret was probably dying for a change in the times to do a more bluesy mature album, he's on the record saying main influences are Lynyrd Skynyrd and Zepp, he also like Thin Lizzy, Rush and VH and thinks AC/DC is the best rock band ever.
Bret tried to get Slash back in the day but the other guys didn't agree, what a timeline that would be.
It wasn't really weird that they got a shredder in Kotzen since DeVille was also one, one hell of a feeling player as well, crazy underated.
I think Poison gets too much shit, yeah, there's the Unskinny Bops but there's also the Ride the Winds.
The one that sprang to mind was Under Wraps. Yes, i like that album quite a bit.
I think the songs are great, can't deal with that snare sound though.
Replacements- Don't Tell a Soul
Robyn Hitchcock-Perspex Island
Rolling Stones-It's Only Rock and Roll
🤘🤠👍
Also really like those albums from Robyn and Replacements.
Judas Priest-point of entry
Blue oyster cult- club ninja
Metallica - St. Anger
Aerosmith - Rock and a Hard Place
Genesis - Calling All Stations
Judas Priest - Jugulator
Loved the differing views on Thor's musical capabilities so much, it led me to check out the doco on him.
Put Spinal Tap and The Story Of Anvil in a blender and you get I Am Thor.
Cheers!
An album from a band that’s hated on this channel: Guns N Roses / Chinese Democracy. I freaking love it. For me, it’s aged so well. Fantastic guitar work on it. Just wish that era of the band had released more!
Whitesnake Slip of the Tongue. My second favorite Whitesnake album behind 1987.
Kansas: Monolith
Pete picking Wings' London Town--it is a spectacular album, IMHO. Sir Paul got a bit moody/atmospheric... good
My dad used to drink Utica Club in the 70s!!
The 83 albums..flick of the switch,Born again,Another perfect day,Revölution by night....
Taliesin was a 6th century Welsh bard. Pronounced Tally-es-in
"Bonkses". A Black Country beer and that is the correct pronunciation of the name.
I love the following:
Rush--Hold Your Fire
AC/DC--Fly on the Wall
Judas Priest--Turbo
KISS--Sonic Boom
Yes--Big Generator
I love the Danger Danger first 2 albums
You and me both.
MOTLEY CRÜE - MOTLEY CRÜE
SUPERTRAMP - FREE AS A BIRD
AC/DC - FLY ON THE WALL
For me, Steven, also Calling All Stations by Genesis. One gripe that I have is that some of the songs fade out too early and quickly, especially the title track!
Another one for me is Chicago XIV from 1980. The band did two albums with Donnie David on guitar after the death of Terry Kath. They were of a poppy flavor but still had some great rocking material and a couple disco-oriented songs but after Dacus was fired and Chris Pinnick came in, wow! This guy is a monster of a guitarist and Chicago XIV is decent because I feel that Pinnick gave the songs some grit and power with his playing, especially on the lead-off song, Manipulation.
Supertramp-Some Things Never Change, Yes-anything from 90125 thru Fly From Here, Pink Floyd-A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Deep Purple-Shade of Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones-Undercovered.
Albums im never tired of listen to but most couldnt care less of🤘
AC/DC - Fly On The Wall and Blow Up Your Video
Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier and The Book Of Souls
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day and 1916
Judas Priest - Ram It Down and Redemer Of Souls
Nazareth - Their debut album and No Jive
Dio - Lock Up The Wolves and Master Of The Moon
Uriah Heep -Wonderworld and High And Mighty
Deep Purple - Fireball
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer and TYR
I'm with Steven. Whenever this topic comes up, my go-to is always Calling All Stations
Fastway - Bad Bad Girls
The Cars - Door to Door
Ratt - Detonator
Dio - Sacred Heart
ACDC - Fly On The Wall
Magnum - Goodnight LA
Scorpions - Savage Amusement
Cheap Trick - Busted
I have to agree about Trans and Old Ways both are really good I would also add Are You Passionate which gets a lot of hate . Hopefully one day we will get the full Old Ways sessions because some of the outtakes on bootlegs are as good as the songs on the album.
For me, it's Union by Yes. I recognize that the song Angkor Wat is not a good song, but I do enjoy the rest of the album.
Rick Wakeman called it Onion cause whenever his listens to it he cries.
Rush for me is 2112, of course, and... Roll the Bones. 2nd favorite.
From Jethro Tull, I adore most of their 70s albums, as well as... Roots to Branches. I also like Catfish Rising quite a bit.
And I don't need any Bruce Springsteen albums other than The Ghost of Tom Joad. In fact it is the only one I own.
Honorable mention: Zooropa is U2's all time (and only) masterpiece. Sue me.
Not thought a lot about this topic, but one that jumps to mind immediately is Def Leppard Slang, their ‘grunge’ album. I don’t really like any other bands grunge albums. Yet always liked this and play it more than a few of the albums that followed when I was off the Leppard train, until sparkle Lounge
Paul was, by light years, the best singer in KISS.
1. Dan Fogelberg, Phoenix. It kicks butt.
2. Pablo Cruise, Worlds Away.
Good show, might revisit No Prayer, it was so disappointing at the time.
It's only since I've watched music waffle channels that I've found out some of my favourite albums are not well regarded, like these:
ACDC - Blow Up Your Video
Gillan & Glover - Accidentally On Purpose
IQ - Are You Sitting Comfortably
Jethro Tull - Catfish Rising
Lillian Axe - Poetic Justice
Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Last Rebel
Motorhead - 1916 & On Parole
Neil Young - Are You Passionate
Uriah Heep - Conquest
The Who - Face Dances
Zz Top - Recycler
I don't recall seeing these mentioned, I've no idea of others opinions of them, but they should be more widely known
Presidents of the USA s/t
Michael Bruce - In My Own Way
Mammoth s/t
No Sweat s/t
Kiss of the Gypsy s/t
Can't tell you how pleased I am to see Lillian Axe get some love. Great band.
Also a HUGE fan of the No Sweat album and have a lot of time for the Mammoth and Kiss of the Gypsy too.
What? That's nuts, 1916 was a return to form, got so much praise, it's a solid 4/5 easily.
@@seekah1 I agree it's my fav Motorhead album but in the rankings/discussion I've seen it is usually near the bottom. As you say crazy.
@@merikblackmore Wow ok. Only Motorhead show I made it to and loved every second of it.
Highly enjoyable episode, gents, with laughs a-plenty that began as soon as Simon offered up his first choice. The only personal choice to be added at this time is the album Phoenix by Dan Fogelberg. Yes, it did chart but is was critically panned though it is personally loved. Thanks to the UK trio but consistently entertaining episodes. Pete's beer choice and discussion reminded my of the beer of my youth that could be had so cheaply - Old Milwaukee (which we gladly referred to as Old Mule Water). Cheers!
Wow Thor l saw him my local pub and l can confirm he blew a hot water bottle we all got covered in the rubber what an experience 😂
I first learned guitar back in high school from an Andy Timmons instructional video. He shreds.
I don't know if I *love* it, but I think "The X Factor" is better than the two albums that came before it (and the one after it, obviously). It's got an identity to it that's pretty unique in their discography.
Steven, my Mrs also likes to rate bands hair when at concerts, so much so she tried contacting Hammerfall to find out what products they use because their hair was “wonderful” 😂
Rush Roll the Bones. People shit on it but I love it 🤘
Kiss - Unmasked
Asia- John Payne Era albums
Bee Gees- Still Waters
Fleetwood Mac- Behind the Mask
Genesis- Collins Era and Calling All Stations
Iron Maiden- All 90s albums
Judas Priest- Turbo/Ram It Down and Ripper Owens era albums
Pink Floyd- A Momentary Lapse of Reason/The Division Bell
Yes- Big Generator
Marillion - Radiation
Queen's Hot Space, I like the kind of music which it prefers to fall into, and I think they totally nailed it.
Rush's Presto has fans, there is maybe no truly hated album among the Rush fanbase, but I definitely place it higher in my ranking of their oeuvre than most...
Yes's Fly From Here and Heaven & Earth, I like them to a degree, not classics, but very pleasing and tranquil, rather different from the music of the early '70s, but I think they composed beautiful recordings for the softer genres they were aspiring toward. Frankly, I'd rather listen to those than the limp-prog of those last two studio albums...
In the world of slick, contemporary well-produced neo/neu-disco 'music-snob alternative' girl-pop, I thoroughly like Zyra's Sober, not a well-received album, similar to enjoying her more acclaimed contemporaries Jessie Ware, Ana Frango Elétrico and/or Charli XCX (well just her 2020 album, hm...).
Oh, Tony Banks' The Fugitive, I will champion that, some tracks (or at least the instrumentals) are worthy of early OMD, which still isn't going to sell the prog fans on it whatsoever, but to those that enjoy both dimensions, Fugitive is really gratifying stuff tbh...
Tony Banks can turn his HANDS to anything !!
I can’t wait for part 2
Styx-Brave New World. I think a solid album top to bottom. Maybe not the Styx you’d expect but good songs. Pat Travers-Black Pearl. Poppy, a couple rockers. Enjoyable listen. Outlaws-Wanted. Yes it’s filled with special guests, yes it’s country, yes I like it.
Have to admit I agree with Meat Loaf Blind Before I Stop and Iron Maiden No Prayer For The Dying - really have no time for the two Blaze Bailey albums as it didn't sound like Maiden. Genesis Invisible Touch I still enjoy, Magnum's Brand New Morning will always get a play from me and finally Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.
Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request, Pink Floyd - Umma Gumma & Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer - Third album although I don't know if anyone paid any attention. Lord I love this show, Thor bring back lots of great and bad memories...
Danger Danger was a great band. Definitely underrated guitarist too,
Dio - Sacred Heart.
Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters.
Weather Report - Sportin' Life.
Thor is fun. I can’t take it seriously. It’s like Spinal Tap. I like that Danger Danger record as well. Andy Timmons has some ripping solos.
Danger Danger Screw It is great. Can't believe Pete hasn't listened to them!
Ah a easy one as apparently I am a contrarian a few that come to mind
Status Quo ai t complaining
Mercury Mr.Bad Guy
Jagger She's the boss
Bowie Never let me down
Pete is completely right on Blaze Bailey.
on UFO,..Pete's comment about Mogg/Way,that was 1997/99,...5 years after 1992's High Stakes album,.....not b4
Pete John Waite is 3rd on the bill with Styx and Foreigner
Calling All Stations ... a definite "go to" album for me .... just great ... I by-pass everything from And Then There Were Three (so boring) on (except Invisible Touch and a selection of 1983 Genesis album) to the end but play Calling All Stations a lot ... along with the Hackett era material ... would buy a CAS deluxe set with bonus tracks / live show(s) in an instant ...
Wings' London Town is a grower ....
Will need to re- listen to Neil Young's Old Ways ... not given it a chance - ever.... always loved Trans though ...
CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland
p.s. look forward to the Foreigner show coming up .... awesome band / catalogue and still superb live ... Can't Slow Down, although not loved, is a top top album for me ... and they have a few .... I play it regularly ...
