The Layla Sessions 1990, Comp by Derek & the Dominos I've only got Disc 2: The Jams, from this set, but there is some excellent guitar work on these jams. Comment by rushfan4 5 months ago
Mark I 1975 by Empire (Peter Banks) Peter Banks' band following Yes and Flash. At times sounds very much like Yes and Flash. Bluesy female vocals add a nice touch. Comment by rushfan4 10 months ago
When You See The Sun 1997 by Jason Bonham Band Led Zeppelin meets Soundgarden but not as good as it might sound on paper. Comment by rushfan4 12 months ago
In Praise Of Learning 1975 by Henry Cow At least for me Dagmar Krause has a voice that reminds me of fingernails on the chalkboard. The third track reminded me of individual orchestra members warming up their instruments prior to a performance, except that I think that I'd rather listen to the orchestra warming up.

What's That Noise in the Basement! 2008, Samp by Various Artists Century Media sampler with 18 songs from 18 different growlers. Blech. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Thunderbolt: A Tribute to AC/DC 1997, Trib by Various Artists A tribute to AC/DC from performers such as Quiet Riot's Kevin Dubrow, Skid Row's Sebastian Bach, Rainbow's Joe Lynn Turner, Great White's Jack Russell, Motorhead's Lenny Kilmister, Ratt's Stephen Pearcy, and Twisted Sister's Dee Snider.

Millenium Meltdown 2007 by Dave Hamilton Vocalist Dave Hamilton sounds like King's X's Dug Pinnick's vocal doppelganger. The vocal resemblance is uncanny. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Blackwater Park 2001 by Opeth Decent music, but the vocals suck and are too distracting to make listening to this enjoyable. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Hopes and Fears 1978 by Art Bears At points some interesting music, but I find the vocals to be quite atrocious. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Steel Umbrellas 1994 by Saga I've become a pretty big Saga fan in recent years since discovering them. They aren't the most progressive of bands, but usually they at least show some progressive tendencies. I was disappointed that there were none to be found on this album.

Bring 'Em Bach Alive 1999 by Sebastian Bach First solo album from ex-Skid Row vocalist. Some new studio songs and some solo performances of Skid Row songs. Fans of Skid Row should probably have this; other will probably have no interest. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Pawn Hearts 1971 by Van Der Graaf Generator I have to admit that I really don't like this album all that much, YET. I fully expect that it will eventually grow on me, but I am new to VDGG and I find this hard to enjoy at the moment. I am a bit better with Peter Hammill's voice than when I started with VDGG, but I still don't really care for David Jackson's saxophone playing. At times the sax playing is decent, but mostly it just sounds like he is strangling a cat. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Pictures at Eleven 1982 by Robert Plant Debut solo album from Led Zeppelin front man. I think that this is the most Zeppelin-esque of his solo albums and should appeal to Led Zeppelin fans. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Lost Brotherhood 1990 by Gowan Includes Alex Lifeson on guitar and Tony Levin on bass guitar. Lawrence Gowan later went on to join Styx. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago

Who's Better, Who's Best 1988, Best by The Who In my opinion, an excellent compilation. For me, The Who are one of those bands where the greatest hits album is much better than any of their individual albums. Comment by rushfan4 2 years ago
Take Cover 2007 by Queensrÿche Unlike many, I tend to enjoy cover songs and cover albums as a way of seeing how some of my favorite bands might sound doing another bands music and there are always a few song that I have never previously heard before so it might lead to new discoveries. That being said, while a fun listen, I would guess that this was done under label pressure and to fulfill contract obligations and won't appeal to those who frown upon these kind of albums.

The Mob 2005 by The Mob King's X meets Winger. This supergroup's debut and only album to-date, brings Doug Pinnick from King's X together with Reb Beach of Winger fame to create a very enjoyable hard rock/hair metal album. The album was produced by Kip Winger and also includes Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger on drums and Timothy Drury from Whitesnake and formerly of The Eagles on keyboards. For fans of the aforementioned bands. |
