from podcast #1 here are the songs I rated 8.5 or higher that I didn't already know (basically half the show!)

9.5
Pretty Maids - Until it Dies
Armored Saint - Tainted Past

9.0
Running Wild - Rolling Wheels
Judas Priest - A Touch of Evil
Europe - Break Free

8.5
Vanden Plas - Push
Guardian - Time and Time Again
Nation - Nation
Lizzy Borden - Voyeur
Firehouse - Reach for the Sky
Destinations Calling - Revolution in Mind
Vicious Rumors - When Love Comes Down


Are these songs fairly representative of their respective albums or are some of these outliers on an album with a lot of dreck?

Without going into great detail , the only band in there that is very patchy IMO is Running Wild.  The rest , for the most part, generally produce albums I would rate as half killer/half filler at worst.

Post deleted.........just tried a new Christmas avatar (just for Tim) but I couldn't live with it for more than 5 mins    

[TAC]

 

Can someone make it snow in my avatar for Christmas? That'd be cool.

Yes, Running Wild is patchy, but it was good to hear them.

And with Firehouse, go with the s/t debut.  I found Hold Your Fire to have quite a bit of filler.  Their subsequent albums were pretty good though - but, like all glam bands, the mid/late 90s didn't give them much exposure at all.

[BlobVanDam]

Nah, stick with Hold Your Fire. Solid album. Didn't like anything else they did.

[TAC]

Nice to see Hath rate Armored Saint 9.5, and a certain suck song didn't even make the list. Hath knows what's up!

Not into Firehouse. And I definitely didn't like Voyuer.

[bl5150]

Hath has already heard the awesome song - that's why it didn't make the list 

[BlobVanDam]

What especially awesome classic song are we talking about?

[TAC]

I'm not listening!

[bl5150]

What especially awesome classic song are we talking about?

It's a number between 10 and 20

[TAC]

It's a number between 10 and 20

It's a number that both 10 and 20 have in common.

[bl5150]

    I wish I could put my Christmas avatar into your Profile..........then I could live with it 

[BlobVanDam]

If I were to take a complete stab in the dark, I'd say it's a number that if it were represented as an age, would be legal in some places, but not legal in others.

From what I've heard from Running Wild, they appear to be solid, but patchy seems accurate.

The s/t from Firehouse is the way to go; besides Reach for the Sky, Hold Your Fire did nothing for me.

[Lowdz]

Nah, stick with Hold Your Fire. Solid album. Didn't like anything else they did.

I'd say the first two are excellent but both albums have a couple of tracks that aren't in the same league. Nothing much of note after that apart from the track Acid Rain.

ive heard MP hates the snare... 

[wolfking]

I have one Firehouse album, but I'm not sure which one it is.  It didn't do anything for me though.

I have a Running Wild compilation and I didn't think that was all that special either.

Still need to check Armored Saint from you guys only saying good things about them.

Good song I see there from the Carpe Diem album from Pretty Maids, good stuff.

[jjrock88]

Armored Saint needs to be at the top of your list Kade

[wolfking]

I don't own anything from them, so that's definitely one band that will be available in my roulette.

[jingle.boy]

That's right... you keep on recommending your best stuff for him now.  NOW dammit.

Sent for Round 1!

[BlobVanDam]

Another Primal Fear song.

I don't like it near as much as The End is Near, but I like it a lot more than the second song. Decent.

[Bolsters]

Sounds like Primal Fear.

[bl5150]

For anyone who missed Tim's Christmas avatar..............I managed to capture it before he deleted it.

King Kobra is rated a little high though.
