John Q,

You forgot about Uriah Heep on 'Salisbury', but that's not the point.
Like I said, I never expected to like, never mind buy, another Scorpions album ever again. And I appreciate what Peter has to say about the band's standing today. You would be hard pushed to find a less 'cool' band on planet Earth, but like I said in my first post, give it a try and then if you think it's a pile of shite then that's up to you.
However slagging both the record and the band without listening to it is both unfair and very blinkered. How many more bands might your pre-conceptions prevent you from hearing?
