Although nobody seems to like it I have to admit that "Big Life" is my favourite.
Why? Simply because I think it has the best songwriting and also a cool fat production (courtesy of Kevin Elson of Journey fame) to it.
Just my 5 DM

Thanks for mentioning Man In Motion Surpunk. It made my miind back to 1988.

The first three NR albums are all incredible to me for different reasons.

Dawn Patrol- I first heard "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" on a local radio station, and I was hooked at that point- then and there!! I bought the album the next day, and it remains to be one of my all-time favorites ever.

Midnight Madness- This was the album that introduced Watson's "caterpillar technique" (that's what Jeff called it in a guitar magazine- listen to his solo on "Rock in America" and you'll know what I'm talking about) which was a creative extension of Eddie Van Halen's "finger tapping" technique. EVH used three fingers for that technique- Jeff used eight. Pretty damn impressive... Overall, the album was incredible. Have you ever heard the term "sophomore jinx"? The term applies to bands that had a great debut album, but failed to repeat that success on the second album. "Madness" didn't fall into that category- this album was just as strong as the first.

Seven Wishes- If I *had* to choose my favorite NR album, this would be it. From "Goodbye" to "Seven Wishes" to "This Boy Needs to Rock", this album covers all of the bases. Great songwriting. Nuff said...

I hate to admit it, but the albums that came out after "Wishes" didn't hold my attention like the first three- but that's my personal opinion. All of the albums that came out after "Wishes" only had a track or two that I really liked (i.e. "Halfway to the Sun" from "Man in Motion", "Secret of my Success" from "Big Life", "New York Time" from "Neverland"), but I still think that NR is one of the best bands out there. Period.

They're are touring the States, and I'm looking forward to seeing them onstage again.

Later...]]> c dog NoticeboardWed, 03 May 2000 17:31:13 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,839,846#msg-846 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,839,846#msg-846

Which had (among others) two cool songs on it... "Sister Christian" by Nightranger and "I can't drive 55" by Sammy hagar... way cool...
Learnt some interesting facts about the NR song... rumour had it, the song was about a drug selling Nun...
