Revenge & HitS are the Kiss albums I like best (as a whole). I like bits & pieces of the rest of their catalogue as well, but mostly only half (or less) of their other albums... Rocket! Sven.

So sorry for your loss, Troy. Dread the day I'll ever be there - hopefully some time yet... These 2 popped into my mind immediately - 2 songs I play from time to time & never fail to grab me: Lionsheart - Flights of Angels Kharma - Ray of Sunshine Take care all! Sven.

I'll go with Alpha here - probably has much to do with the fact that I discovered Asia with this album. Love s/t and Astra (and Now & Then) too, but I find Alpha is the one I most often turn to for my Asia fix... Rocket! Sven.

I'm with you on the Flying - Extremist combo - awesome albums, that. Since then, I've been particularly fond of his 'Shockwave Supernova' album, and to a lesser extent Shapeshifting & Strange Beautiful music. I'd say those would be the ones to turn to if you like your instrumentals 'song-like', without too much widdling... Rocket! Sven.

Must've been the 2nd half of the 90s, because these albums were released in 94-95 & we didn't have the Euro yet - there was a small music shop in a shopping mall that mainly sold the charting pop stuff & hardly, if ever, had any rock-related albums, and they did a sale - must've been something like (the equivalent of) 5 euros per album, 4 if you bought 5, and 25 euros for 10 albums.

The 'live' part narrows the list down considerably :P One that hasn't been mentioned (I think): Carl Verheyen. close second: Vai. Buggers me I've ever seen EVH, Gary Moore or Vito. Rocket! Sven.

There's a lot of great covers out there, and then there's a lot of meh ones. And I'm happy to be able to fit this one in the first category. Although I'm usually not big on acoustic covers, this is really well done - while it doesn't burst open as does the original, it sets a great haunting mood indeed and in doing so delivers big time. Respect Dennis! Rocket! Sven.

Def. Leppard. Rocket! Sven.

Def Leppard was the first that came to mind. Second was Skagarack... Third one was Lita Ford, but that turned out to be "Little too early" rather than "Little too late" ;oP Rocket! Sven.

Love 3 ; think I like it better than HYF, if only marginally... I dig most of their output - Prime Time is probably the only album I don't have. That live album is great (and I don't usually like live albums!). Rocket! Sven.

Oh Captain my Captain, :P As I am guilty of sneaking 2 of those albums into my top 5, I feel compelled to respond... This was my selection: 1. Cyclorama (2003) 2. Edge of the Century (1990) 3. Pieces of Eight (1978) 4. Styx II (1973) 5. Kilroy Was Here (1983) Quite the mixed bag, right? Yet I don't fit in either of the categories you suggested - since I only started delving into the

I must confess to owning the "Living Doll" single he did with the Young Ones, and the 'Always Guaranteed' album on cassette :P Although "Some People" was the bigger hit here, I always liked "My Pretty One" (the 1st single) better. In my defence, I was only 13 at the time. I've always like his voice (heard his songs regularly as my mom was a fan) but he kinda slip

A bunch of good songs, but I still much prefer Going To Hell. Just as Halestorm haven 't been near equalling 'The Strange Case of'. I've been quite impressed by Beyond the Black's output - some very good & consistent albums there. Stylewise a bit more symphonic than PR or HS ; wouldn't put them in the 'gothic' corner, though... Rocket! Sven.

It's good, but not as immediate / catchy as Strangers in Paradise. Need to give it some more spins, it's drowned a bit in other stuff I've been listening to. But I do remember liking what I heard. Don't see the need for the added 'harsh vocals' though - especially when you have a vocalist like Willy Norton. That aside, it's a balanced and enjoyable album. Rocket! Sven
