Hmmm... I only recognize 2 of those bands, so I don't think I can play this game.... but how about this one :twisted:

You mean who WE rate as top albums, right??

Sure. Although this IS a melodic rock site. Feel free to include your modern sounding alternative music, Meanie....

Released too close to the end of the year to be considered, IMHO. Nelson's new one is about in the same boat. I included it tho'. If What If makes a bunch a people's Top 5 lists it is mainly due to the Recency Effect....

And we all (well the few who follow Melodic Rock) know that Drew's #1 of 2010 is Coup De Grace by Treat... :lol:

Considering it's only released "this year" in Japan, Europe/US is beginning of 2011..............fine, I'll save it for next years list. :mrgreen:

Daaaamn I love that track........Kevin Shirley was right, killer ballad!

You're stuck too much on this melodic rock thing. Most of us here are here because of Journey only initially, and many of us follow more than just melodic rock, so live with it :twisted:

Some of my favorite new albums in 2010, mainly instrumental albums:

Eric Johnson - "Up Close"
Lee Ritenour - "6 String Theory"
Prashant Aswani - "Sonically Speaking"
Joe Satriani - "Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards"
Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion

My No. 1 album would definitely be Heart's "Red Velvet Car." I think it was another nice nod to '70s era Heart with enough fresh elements. As a longtime fan, I couldn't be happier with it.

My biggest surprise was Ratt's "Infestation," which was a much better album than I thought they could come up with. My biggest disappointment was probably Giant's "Promise Land." Liked a few tracks, but overall not reflective of their output with Dann Huff.

Since we can't turn back the clock 20 or so years, as far as 2011 I am looking forward to new albums from Mr. Big, Chickenfoot, Journey and (supposedly) Van Halen.

If you wanna have a listen and you're quick, some guy has put them all up on youtube...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cyQUJ1HqXU There is some kickass stuff on it. I absolutely love the raw/real feel of it......no overdubs, pretty much what you're going to get live. :lol:

But I'm sure they'll be pulled shortly......

My cd/dvd arrives tomorrow.

Considering it's only released "this year" in Japan, Europe/US is beginning of 2011..............fine, I'll save it for next years list. Daaaamn I love that track........Kevin Shirley was right, killer ballad!

The official worldwide release is Jan 21, so for me it will be a 2011 release. I'm yet to start work on my Best Of 2010.

I actually saw the link you posted above...and have been checking a few tunes out. The song that has grabbed me so far is "All The Way Up." Eric sounds great....

It's Kill Me With A Kiss. Good choices, but I'd add Undertow and American Beauty also, I really like that one too. Definitely a solid comeback album.

Yes he does, which is cool, because that is their 2nd single and video release after Undertow.

I pay NO attention to your year end reviews because your conclusions are all wrong....except I do look forward to your Dickhead of the Year award.

I am betting 500 bucks Robbieg walks off with the hardware.
