<p>If Queen are in the Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal, than they are considered hard rock at the very least. Sure they dabbled in other forms, but so have a lot of hard rock/metal bands. Basically, what does Scott REALLY know? NOTHING. </p>
<p>I have a Gillan album. Gillan's Inn, I believe. Might be a greatest hits or something like that. I could check, but what's the point? This is a decent album, I'll give it that.</p>

<p>Yes, Def Leppard. Sadly, it's the awful Hysteria.</p>

<p>The Island Party was always about the album. That is why I tried to place them in corresponding categories, but there is a chance something should have been here rather than there.</p>
<p>Future Shock is the highest charting album by Gillan. #2 in UK. As for why the line up shouldn't work, because it was made of little known or unknown musicians. If you consider that Coverdale, Blackmore got big names and colleagues from Deep Purple, Gillan went the other way.</p>

<p>The keyboardist was Colin Towns, (unknown to me at the time, but he played with Gillan previously) And yes, he is really good. After he left Gillan, he started to work on Soundtracks. Now he's into Jazz. Oh, almost forgott, he also played on the biggest Spanish Heavy Metal album (Volumen Brutal by BARON ROJO) They gained an international recognition with that album. (But of course, not in USA, so I doubt you know about it).</p>
<p>John McCoy was the bassist, from a third rate Metal act, Mammoth. Although, he is a great producer. Especially around the time Future Shock came out.</p>
<p>Mick Underwood played drums. Now, with the age of instant information, I know he had a respectable career, but at that time he was completely unknown to me.</p>
<p>And the biggest surprise was Bernie <span>Tormé. I knew he was a Punk guitarist. I just couldn't imagine him playing with Gillan who previously worked with Blackmore. </span>Oddly<span> enough, he gained my respect and I have few of his solo albums too.</span></p>

<p>I own exactly zero Gillan solo albums, that's also the same percent of chance I had at guessing this category! I like what I'm hearing though it sounds very close to Blackmore-less Purple. Also, he could use some help in selecting hs album cover art! Wow! I am glad he found success somewhere, but this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of this album so I'm guessing that success was not in the US? I like what I'm hearing especially whoever that keyboard player is, he's brilliant! …</p>

<p></p>
<p>And yes Queen... Hard Rock Queen I might add! I'll concede your point if one were to consider only one album at a time. But by that logic we could also put them in Pop and Disco categories depending on your selection. I considered the whole body of albums in my logic and there are some song titles and lyrics on the Works album that could have fit your clue. I leave it there as your were gracious enough to award me half!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Onto my guesses which are always 100% well thought out, logical, orderly and categorically correct ... always!</p>
<ul>
<li>AOR: Europe - Out of this World</li>
<li>MELDOIC ROCK: Def Leppard - Pyromania</li>

<p>You know what...</p>
<p>You caught me in the good mood. Even though I don't get your reasoning how the clues in ROCK pointed to Queen, and regardless to what category Queen falls in (BTW, THIS album, Miracle, sounds to me more like Hard Rock than Rock) I will give you half the points, because You still didn't guess the correct title of the album.</p>
<p>So there. Let's see how far this gonna take you?</p>
