Can't really decide right now but I guess these would make the list anyway....

Magnum - Chase The Dragon

Thin Lizzy - Black Rose

Y&T - Black Tiger

Y&T - Earthshaker

MSG - Assault Attack

Dio - Holy Diver

Too many other contenders to decide between them right now, but all those would most definitely be on the top 15.

Re: Top 15 albums in my collection

illimey — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 00:27:13 +1100

Out of the 1,652 albums Google Play tells me I have, here are a few of my favorites (sorry, not playing by the rules here):

Magnum - On A Storyteller's Night
Magnum - Wings Of Heaven
Magnum - The Visitation
Midnight Oil - Diesel & Dust
Midnight Oil - Red Sails In The Sunset
Midnight Oil - Breathe
Barclay James Harvest - Time Honoured Ghosts
Barclay James Harvest - ...and Other Short Stories
Barclay James Harvest - Once Again
Kansas - Point Of Know Return
Kansas - Monolith
Kansas - Freaks Of Nature
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Adventures - The Sea Of Love
Adam Again - Dig
Bob Catley - The Tower
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel Of Love
Bryan Adams - Into The Fire
Common Children - Delicate Fade
Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Energy Orchard - S/T
Guardian - Fire & Love
Iona - Journey Into The Morn
Jerusalem - Prophet
Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Braver Newer World
Maestoso - Caterwauling
Neal Morse - ?
Pat Benatar - Wide Awake In Dreamland
Petra - On Fire
Phatfish - Heavenbound
Phil Keaggy - All 50+ of his albums
Rez - Reach Of Love
Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl
Runrig - The Cutter & The Clan
Rush - Permanent Waves
Scott Merritt - Violet & Black
Southside Blades Of Eden - Spirit, Love & Fire
Steve Booker - Dreamworld
The Choir - Flap Your Wings

As you can tell, I don't really mesh with the style that seems to be the general focus of this website. I have some Journey etc, but most of that stuff is take it or leave it in my book. The best Melodic Rock/AOR (by my definition at least) song I've ever heard is Steel from Bob Catley's The Tower. That is how the genre should sound!

kaneudeck — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:53:27 +1100

Troy I agree with most of your list but would have to add AC/DC-Back in Black for sure.

2 other older albums that I am not sure if I would have ever given them 100% at the time of release, but have really stood the test of time with me and still fall into playing rotation are

Spread Eagle-Open to the Public
Sweet F.A- Stick to your Guns
