    Agree!. Also I like Vanilla Queen which is another good track off Moontan and in fact the whole album is a great album.

    Ronnie James Dio (Official Tribute Thread)

    As well as the Rainbow and Black Sabbath stuff with regards to his solo stuff I personally like Sacred Heart and Lock Up The Wolves. I bought Angry Machines about 6 months ago but haven't got around to listening to it properly but about 3 years ago a rock friend played me a couple of tracks off...

    I originally bought this double-vinyl Rainbow compilation album when it first came out back in 1982 but 'got rid of it' nearly 40 years ago. The track selection was the usual stuff off the first 5 studio albums between Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (1975) & Difficult To Cure (1981) with no rare...

    What Music DVD Are You Watching

    LYNYRD SKYNYRD playing the Knebworth Rock Festival back in August 1976 when Skynyrd 'blew the stones off the stage' allegedly??. Talking of rock bands playing Knebworth I wouldn't mind seeing the 1980s reformed DEEP PURPLE and MOUNTAIN playing the 1985 Knebworth festival IF IT WAS FILMED(?)...

    Led Zeppelin?. Even though I have virtually everything they ever officially put out I rarely listen to any of it. Led Zeppelin are (or were) a very important band in the development of British HEAVY ROCK (and heavy rock in general world wide) with some people claiming that they were the "first...

    Why do the songs that Sammy Hagar did with Van Halen have a different style from what he did with Montrose or solo?

    I did read that Van Halen when they were on the way up before 1978 and playing colleges across the states before the release of their debut album they did use to cover at least one Montrose number in there set which from memory I think was Make It Last the final song on side 2 of the Montrose...

    I listened to a 'Skynyrd' compilation cd last night the first time after not really listening to any of the bands stuff since the early 2000s (the Ronnie Van Zant era skynyrd I mean) and it all still sounds pretty good 20 odd years later!. Before listening to Skynyrd last night I played a...

    Founding NAZARETH Guitarist MANNY CHARLTON Dead At 80

    Oh no!!. I am sad to hear about Manny's passing. Possibly unfairly overlooked to some extent in his own time back in the 1970s (and early 1980s) probably because heavy rock during that decade the 1970s was dominated by many great electric guitar players but I liked all Manny's work on the...

    I like this live album a lot in fact I bought it on vinyl back in the 1980s and so far I have bought around 6 (six) copies of it on cd. Joe's version of Turn to Stone on this live recording is worth the admission fee alone along with Rocky Mountain Way and Meadows and in fact all six tracks on...

    Cat Stevens (Official Thread)

    Yeah I like this album quite a lot and have it on cd. I remember hearing the song Matthew And Son when it first came out and it was in the UK singles chart back in 1967 or 68(?) and I liked the song back then and I still sometimes put the album on to listen to it although the follow up album...

    Iron Maiden to Cover Paul Di’Anno’s Surgery Costs

    Bruce is or was a Ian Gillan clone vocally but I thought Bruce was ok when he was fronting Samson the NWOBHM band around 1979-81 before he joined Iron Maiden. In Paul Di Anno's book The Beast (published in the early 2000s) Paul claims that he gets rock musician's coming up to him all the time...

    I always thought Kate's Running Up That Hill was a good song when I first heard it back in 1985 and occasionally in subsequent years so it doesn't surprise me that a new generation have picked up on it and took it to the UK no.1

    Iron Maiden to Cover Paul Di’Anno’s Surgery Costs

    Personally I believe that the two 'Maiden' albums done with Paul are their best albums and I liked the opposites in the band during 1980-81 with Paul coming from punk and wearing his hair shorter and also wearing black leather in contrast to Steve and Dave in particular with those two coming...

    Tears For Fears (Official Thread)

    I am not a fan of this band BUT I must admit I do like Everybody Wants To Rule the World and Sowing the Seeds of Love and even Shout which all remind me of the mid-1980s.

    The truth is 70s guy after I 'messed up' accusing someone(?) of 'barring me' from the forum at the back end of last year it turned out to be a new computer programme that had been installed but it messed my classic rock account up so I couldn't log in but the story doesn't end there in the...

    4 70's Alice Cooper albums poll

    About the only decent album from the earlier 1970s was BILLION DOLLAR BABES from 1973 although the last tack on that album I Love The Dead was boring. With regards to the other earlier 1970s albums, a few individual tracks were ok such as UNDER MY WHEELS and SCHOOLS OUT but overall nothing to...
