Either of the first two albums would be worthy of being my "favoite". Both are outstanding, exemplary pieces of classic southern rock.
Flipping a coin .... Second Helping gets my vote.
My vote goes to Ozzy, however, I do love Nighttrain as well.
The lyrics on the first verse always made me chuckle:
Well, I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase under my arm
Said, I'm a mean machine,
been drinkin' gasoline
And, honey, you can make my motor hum
For my money, the Santana version is infinitely better than the original Zombies version :bow: One of my all-time favorite covers. I like the vocals better and Santana just crushes this song with his impeccable playing style, phrasing and tone.
Bat Head Soup (2000)
(an Ozzy Tribute album)
1. Mr. Crowley - Tim 'Ripper' Owens/Yngwie Malmsteen/Tim Bogert/Tommy Aldridge/Derek Sherinian
2. Over The Mountain - Mark Slaughter/Brad Gillis/Gary Moon/Eric Singer/Paul Taylor
3. Desire - Lemmy Kilmister/Richie Kotzen/Tony...
Gotta be honest, I think that Beggar's Banquet is highly overrated. Couple of decent tracks, but no where near worthy of the accolades that some people give it. I'd take Some Girls over BB any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Let It Bleed is a damn decent album, and is also far better...
Love both. The intro and theme of Hells Bells has long made it one of my favorite AC/DC songs. Back in Black has a bit more of a party song feel to it, while Hells Bells is a bit darker.
I also think that Hells Bells has more of a feel of the Bon Scott era, which I have an appreciation for.
I'm going to go against the grain here and give Billy Joel some love. The Stranger is an awesome album, love almost every song on it.
The reason that I'll give Billy my vote is this... Yellow Brick Road is also a hell of an album, but it's about 8 songs too long. Had that album only been the...
The one and only Mr Scary.... George Lynch (from Dokken, Lynch Mob, Solo work, Sweet & Lynch, The End Machine, Souls of We, KXM, T&N)
Just a couple of songs:
Dokken - Mr Scary
From his first 'solo' album - I Will Remember
Jonny Lang - Smokin' (1995)
Hard to believe this kid was only like 14 yrs old when this album was recorded/released.
To be playing blues guitar like that at that age is pretty amazing (if you ask me).
Tesla's latest album came out about two weeks ago, I just finally got my grubby hands on it and gave it a listen. Pretty good stuff. Similar to their first 'unplugged' album from 1990 (Five Man Acoustic Jam), but with a change in the song lineup. This album was recorded live and mostly...
Sabbath, but I will say that I still like much of Zep's last studio album. It really would have been interesting to see where the band was going after that album, had Bonham not died.
Musically, I think that On Fire is a more interesting song. Its biggest downfall is the chorus, which just sounds screechy and cringeworthy. The rest of the song is pretty damn good.
That being said, that chorus is enough to make me vote the other way. Atomic Punk gets my vote.
Mother.
I don't care who cringes, I'll say it. I think that Ace of Spades is vastly overrated. That's not to say it's a terrible song, but I do not think it's worthy of the praise that it gets from people.
Of their three studio collaborations, this one is my favorite! Love this album, with the highlight for me being the Bill Withers track, For My Friend. :bow:
I may have to check that out for the reason that I'm not a fan of anything of theirs. Some of the music is ok, but I have yet to hear anything that made me say "holy shit, I need to hear that again".
