Hardcore Superstar - Hardcore Superstar
How come I haven't discovered this band before? Hardcore Superstar's new album is packed with attitude filled Hard Rock with a twist of sleaze. right up my alley.
UFO - Showtime (both Audio CD and DVD)
Phil Mogg is an amazing singer and is becoming among my favorite vocalists. UFO's line-up with Jason Bonham and Vinnie Moore is very strong and sounds brilliant. Unfortunately only featured on the DVD, the handful of songs recorded with strings;
Pack It up and Go and
Try Me are my new favorites. It can't get much better than this.
Billy Idol - Everything (mainly Rebel Yell, Billy Idol and Devil's Playground)
After the
smashing concert. I have been in a Billy Idol mode. That man certainly knows how to entertain and every time I hear tracks that he played live in concert I am set back to one of the best nights of 2005.
King's X - Ogre Tones
I don't listen to King's X as much as I used to. The Texas trio has made some solid album and "Ogre Tones" is among their best albums. Standout tracks are the single
Alone and the re-recording of
Goldilox.
Mr. Big - Lean into it
Got it on my 18th birthday and we heard it all night, while I officially transformed from boy to man. The record still sounds good and there are plenty of great tunes that stand the test of time.
Ten - Ten
After The Love has Gone, Yesterday Lies in the Flames and
The Torch has gotta be the best 3 Ten songs ever.
