WHAT CLASSIC ROCK (OR JUST PLAIN ROCK) ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

[RJhog (Admin)]

So what are you listening to right now?  Any genre is cool.

 

For me:

 

Scott's Hidden Treasure

Depeche Mode - Wrong (courtesy of Niels)

Kim Mitchell - Akimbo Alogo (courtesy of Jon)

Next week's Album of the Week (hint: think orchestra)

Shinedown - The Sound of Madness

[Niels (Mod)]

...and U2 - Boy

It's hard to believe these days, that U2 actually was a great band in the 80's, and one of my absolute favorite bands in that decade. "Achtung Baby" from '91 was good (a concert on that tour in Copenhagen is still among my alltime favorite concerts), but they topped with "The Joshua Tree" in '87, and was never that great again. Their first two albums("Boy" and "October") are some of the finest albums, they made, and they were only kids back then. Man, they screwed up later on!!

Hey, I've got a listening-party with myself

Red Dragon Kartel - Same

[RJhog (Admin)]

What do you think of RDC?

[Niels (Mod)]

Hmmm, it had a good start, and some of Lee's riffs are pretty good, though he must have listened to a lot of Sabbath, the last 20 years. I think, it was a bad idea, to bring on the guest-singers, because the "singer" is not bad at all, and I don't agree, that the Zander-track is the best, I don't think Zander fits in, and neither does Di'anno, even though I'm surprised, that he still can sing, well sort of. It' s an album kind of like Slash's first solo-album or the latest SixxAM. It's not bad, but once or twice will be more than enough for me, listening to, I mean.

Oh, and I just had time for the last album of the day, and then it's enough for today:

Metallica - ride the lightning

I think War is good too.

[Niels (Mod)]

It is, but I kind of like the sound of the very young and hungry band from 80' and 81'.

So, what changed since June of 2011 on that Hughes/Thrall album?

[RJhog (Admin)]

Can't find the thread to see what I said then.  I'm guessing, by your comment, that I didn't like it.  Nothing changed.  It's still not very good.  I only bought it 'cause the used CD store had it and quite frankly, I didn't remember listening to it before.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the cable folks paid my neighbor a visit yesterday morning?  They fixed her cable and broke ours.  So, although they did it, we must call and make an appt. for a tech to come out and fix the problem they made.  So we have no cable tv, no internet and no home phone.
