Wolf, great list. Never heard of Vega or Ride The Sky. Would I like?
Vega are fairly standard AOR fare - maybe a tad better than that but nothing you won't have heard before. Right up your street TAC
Joking aside they are a bit too safe and same-y for me. Classy though. I know Kade likes 'em alot. Guess playing all 3 albums would give that impression.
For me-
Alice Cooper - From The Inside, Constrictor
Metallica - S&M. Man, if only the originals had these arrangements. That would be something.
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Shattered Skies - The World We USed To Know
