Best reason for having this album is that it was produced by Alex Lifeson from Rush.

I've only got Disc 2: The Jams, from this set, but there is some excellent guitar work on these jams.

Peter Banks' band following Yes and Flash. At times sounds very much like Yes and Flash. Bluesy female vocals add a nice touch.

Led Zeppelin meets Soundgarden but not as good as it might sound on paper.

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.

Century Media sampler with 18 songs from 18 different growlers. Blech.

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.

Vocalist Dave Hamilton sounds like King's X's Dug Pinnick's vocal doppelganger. The vocal resemblance is uncanny.

Decent music, but the vocals suck and are too distracting to make listening to this enjoyable.

At points some interesting music, but I find the vocals to be quite atrocious.

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.

This EP from Primus contains 5 cover songs. Their cover of Pink Floyd's Have A Cigar is absolutely stunning.

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.

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.

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.

Includes Alex Lifeson on guitar and Tony Levin on bass guitar. Lawrence Gowan later went on to join Styx.

Almost sounds like a Rush album to me. Great stuff!!!

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.

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.

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.
