The Eagles - Greatest Hits 1971-1975

REO Speedwagon - Hi Infidelity

Journey - Frontiers

Van Halen - 5150 (Great fucking album that Sammy KICKED ASS on)

Twisted Sister - Love Is For Suckers (I know I'll get some shit for this, but it had a lot of rocking tracks on there)

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle (Fogerty still remains one of my favorite rock vocalists, EVER)

Def Leppard - Hysteria (I never thought Leppard could top "Pyromania", but "Hysteria" blows it away)!

Dude, whatever the fuck your name is, I don't know whether to laugh or cry for you. Every band/album that I emboldened is pure shit. Michael fucking Bolton? You should be banned from this site altogether. Just pack up your shit, and turn around and scat.

Hahaha, Michael Bolton? Asia? OMFG. Hugo? Hysterical. Dude, Winger? OMFG.

How can any fan of melodic rock not enjoy the Hugo debut album?
And why dont you like Europe? You probably only know Final Countdown. Let me tell you this sunshine, Europe are a million times harder and heavier than Journey ever were.
And early Bolton has some fantastic melodic rock.

by **youkeepmewaiting** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 4:31 am

Not including all the Journey and Perry stuff.

Hugo - Hugo (What an album. Gary Hughes did a great job. Amazing and powerful vocals. And fantastic hooky choruses)
Mark Free - Long way from love (This guy should of been one of the biggest melodic rock singers ever)
My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade (What a shame these guys suck live. Great recorded vocals. Floyd meets Queen dounced in heavy rock)
GnR - Greatest Hits (I normally dont allow Greatest Hits albums to be classed as an album, but its steller)
Pride Of Lions - Pride Of Lions (Jim Peteric just gets better. And Toby kicks arse)
Survivor - Vital Signs (Jim P again)
Magnum - Storytellers Night (Should of been big in America, just didnt have the looks - No offence Bob)
Meat Loaf - Bat 1 (Jim Steinman is a legend)
The Storm - The Storm (I swear everytime Kevin ryhmes "Win it" and "in it" on both of The Storm albums I want to throw my CD player, but never the less great songs)
Lost Prophets - Start Something (Think these made a slight splash in the US with this second album. Fantastic welsh rock outsfit)

Some of the cuts off Bolton's first 2 albums aren't bad. "You're All I Need" from "The Hunger" is a Journey song sans Perry. He should've stuck to rock but his bank account disagrees.

Here's "Fool's Game" from his s/t release.

Didn't like that he covered Dock of the bay but I do like Neal's playing on it.
Here's shots of Neal, first at 0:30, then the lead at 1:53.

You bet!

His rendition of Solitary Man (Neil Diamond) is breathtaking- including the video :twisted:

. Not a bad song in this record. The cheeky "Can't do a thing to stop me" is brilliant. And then the title track is purely HEAVEN for me.
