I've never even listened to Riot V. I have the first 6 Riot albums on Vinyl , though. Not really the same band from what I gather.
It's the same band.

Different line ups... different sound....different name.
How true........but I still like Y & T more.
So, why would I be concerned with which band you perfer ?
I'm just pointing out that early Riot and Riot in general is not near as middle of the road sounding as Riot V. And while they do stem from the same root band they are not exactly the same band. Just saying...
Personal preferences are just that and I realize we all have the right to our own.
Easy there bearded warrior!
You just listed another reason I chose Y&T.....they never went "middle of the road"
Chalk our difference up to taste. Like I said, I feel Earthshaker is WAY better than anything Riot (or Riot V) has ever put out. .
I'm not challenging your taste, because usually we agree.....we just don't agree on this one.
Actually we disagree quite a bit. Y&T are totally middle of the road about thetime of Summer Time Girls and after...although with a hellva guitarist. And I'm not worried if we disagree just stating my opposing opinion. Kind of feel like it's necessary to set you straight now and then ...lol...J/K
