The Wolfster had mentioned using this thread as a starting point for bringing up classic albums and/or old school bands that deserve some recognition or discussion. Of course I support this!
This was the Wolfster’s idea but I’m sure he will agree that the Official Hard Rock /Classic Metal Music and Discussion and Memorabilia Thread has no order, rules or regulations; so any time someone wants to bring up a band or classic album, let’s do it!
Brent started with this awesome thread and Wolf came up with the idea, but I’m confident they will respect me to start things off with three albums I listened today:
Rush- Moving Pictures- I really think this is bar none one of the greatest albums ever and one of the defintion albums of classic rock. The album plays like a classic rock greatest hits album and pretty much every song is a classic rock classic. I hear people complain about Vital Signs but screw that, that song is fuckin awesome. Rush is one of my favourite bands and this is my favorite Rush album, so that should tell you how awesome it is
Kiss- Lick it Up. Now while Creatures of the Night is my favorite Kiss album, I think Lick it Up is a perfect beginning to the non make up years; which is a very underrated era of Kiss. This album continues the extra heaviness of Kiss and includes one of my favourite Kiss songs; the extremely underrated “Not for the Innocent”. 80s Kiss is major kick ass.
Joe Satriani- Not of this Earth. When it comes to guitar instrumental albums, I’m sure everyone on this thread has heard Surfing with the Alien. That’s my favorite guitar album but this one is 1a); this one seems to fall under the radar but I think it’s pretty much a perfect guitar album. It definitely has an 80s vibe but that’s what makes it awesome! It goes perfectly hand in hand with Surfing with the Alien
