Survivor pre Jamison..all excellent and PREMONITION is classic from start to finish. Just more ballsy, even the ballads had less schmaltz.
Another shout out for UFO circa 1980-83. Crazy to think it now with todays work ethic from bands, but we had 4 records in that period! I think all of them are excellent, and because of the stupid Schenker V Chapman thing at the time, some of them have been criminally forgotten! Do yourself a favour and buy The Wild, The Willing... CLASSIC.
...again, DEF LEP Slang and Euphoria. The former is brilliant records, the latter some great tracks (but whimpey drums let them down again..Adrenalize syndrome!)
RATT - The S/T record from the reformed band in the 90's..brilliant record.
SCORPIONS pre-79 and the period of the last 8-10 years, some great records.
MANRAZE..another great band, a satellite project from a big name (Phil Collen/DEF LEP) that people/fans barely take a look at. Weird!
