Pyromania

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Def Leppard

Release Date June 15, 1999
Just thought I would add to the praise by saying that this is up there with the best rock albums of all time: unlike Hysteria, this has no duff tracks, every song is brilliant. Rock of Ages still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...Billy's got a Gun is one of the Lep's best lyrics...and Photograph is the perfect pop/rock single.

The only downside to this album - like all truly great albums - is that you are forever in mourning that the band cant recreate the feat (I've just bought sparkle lounge!!). But celebrate one of the finest records ever made.

G N' R Lies

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Guns N' Roses

Release Date March 20, 1999
This album has something for everyone (even racists, if you thing about "One in A Million"), but generally was partially opportunistic (releasing the EP - Live Like a Suicide) and another four acoustic tracks. How it would look to fans was very much parodied within the album cover which exploits the tabloid nature of their press at the time. The songs are all solid, even the acoustic version of "Your crazy" generally seems to work better than the electric version. 'Patience' is a fantastic song which, at the time really showed people some of the potential range and scope of the band. "Used to Love Her" is very tongue in cheek and reminds me of the feel of "No Expectations" by the Rolling Stones. Signalled the potential for the band which would be more fully ... Read More:

The Original Bad Company Anthology

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Bad Company

Release Date March 29, 1999
This collection does "exactly what it says on the tin", i.e. delivers a comprehensive but unimaginative compilation of Bad Co's stand out tracks mainly from their first 5 albums. So far so good.

Unfortunately, it contains no reference at all to the elusive Live album nor does it give anything away regarding demo's or throw away recordings which make Songs Of Yesterday, the definitive study of Free's career, such a masterpiece.

I already owned all of the cd's but bought this because it enabled me to economise on space for my ever expanding music collection. Not much of a recommendation in itself. Good job the music is top notch.

Release Date August 30, 1993
Trash is such an amazing album...this is one of the best shock rock albums you could ever want to hear, the album contain my favourite and his most memorable song of all time POISON which is the reason I brought the album in the first place then to my discovery being blown away by the rest of the songs just being kick-ass and fantastic.
This is one for all Cooper fans worldwide...if yourjust getting into Alice then I would start by getting this one first as like I said it contain POISON the song that changed alot of people including me the first time I heard it.

The Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Steppenwolf

Release Date June 02, 2003
I used to have Steppenwolf compilation on Vinyl - not this one - but it got mislaid somewhere. Didn't miss it too much. I was always disappointed that they mimed on "The Whistle Test", this was a vehicle for great live bands and they were supposed to be one of them. It left me feeling they were fakes but I recently caught John Kay & a reformed Steppenwolf doing a real live set and it was excellent. Made me look for a 'best of' again.

This compilation seemed to include most of the good stuff I had on the vinyl (although I'd hoped to get "Snowblind Friend" again - a sad omission) and a few other things I hadn't heard. It works well, nothing too exceptional but a good chunk of American nostalgia. The Pusher & Magic Carpet Ride have always been great tracks but the ... Read More:

Keep The Faith

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Bon Jovi

Release Date March 26, 2001
In my review i cannon't say anything that the other reviewers haven't already said, ''Keep the Faith'' is a truely magnificent album and includes one of my all time favorite songs that Bon Jovi has ever recorded, "Bed Of Roses" --- a great track and one that i never do tire of. This album is one that you will play again and again, it rocks as to many other Bon Jovi albums such ad "New Jervesy" an "Slippery When Wet" 10/10 --- My second favorite Bon Jovi album, 2nd only to "SWWW".
If you don't own this album, you're missing out on a masterpiece and an essential listening album.

How The West Was Won: Live (3CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date December 01, 2003
3 CDs Led Zeppelin live in pristine sound quality is a dream come true. This is vintage and true Page-Plant-Jones-Bonham. CD 1 proves it all.
CDs 2 and 3 show indeed why punk treated them as dinosaurs: over-indulgent, boring, too long versions alternate with a few gems (Dancing days, Rock 'n' roll).
These and all the CD 1 tracks could have made a world class single live album.
