...especially Great Radio Controversy.

That's in my top 10 best rock albums of all time.  But despite how good the other two from their first three releases are, I think Into The Now may actually be my #2 from them.  I really enjoy that album.

I've always had just a best of from Tesla, but I recently got their first three releases.  Wow, these are major ass kickers; especially Great Radio Controversy.

Mind = blown.  You never had these??  Three of the best albums of that era.  Period.

Fantastic rock band. :clap:  Saw them open for the Scorpions on the never-ending Scorpions retirement tour and Tesla kicked all kinds of ass.  Just a fantastic band.  :2metal:

Been too long, but saw Tesla again last night. Fantastic as always, and I'll have audio from two new tracks (MP3 and Ricochet) for you guys in a bit.

Dreamy!  No Toronto show; no Phoenix show.   :sadpanda:

Wish they'd come back to New Mex. But I know they will once their new album drops. I still listen to the live cd of them supporting Scorpions from our show. That was the coolest thing a band has done, its not mastered so you have to crank it but its cool having the full show of that night on that night.

and

Personally, initially I think that MP3 is alright, and I'm not too fond of Ricochet, and I really hope they grow on my otherwise I'll find them as a bad 1-2 punch to start off an album.
