    Old School Thrash/Death Revival

    Can't comment on Deathevocation, but I'm totally glad to see the resurgence of a genre I thought was dead & gone forever. There are a lot of first-rate thrash bands springing up across the globe. Sure, there are far more subpar imitators but I've discovered some bands that are sure to be...

    Mott the Hoople: The Unsung Champions of the 1970's

    Nice to hear some kind words about post-Ian Mott. I love the classic stuff, especially the last three albums but I also freakin' adore the Mott albums. Especially Shouting & Pointing. It's a shame the band imploded so quickly. The energy & hooks on the final album are off the rails. I...

    The La's (Official Thread)

    Re: The La's Mavens is a mess & it's a damn shame because this album showed tremendous potential & had he kicked his bad habits & stayed the course, the band may well have been prolific & legendary. Nothing more frustrating than seeing a prodigal talent just being pissed away.

    SNFU (Official Thread)

    I love SNFU. Their 2nd & 3rd albums are classics. My old band used to play "The Ceiling" at every gig on our first tour & people flipped over it. I also really dig "The One Voted Most Likely To Succeed", prob their finest late period album. I actually just started watching the Chi Pig...

    Mud (Official Thread)

    Mud had a ton of potential, but they spent way too much time on the 50's revivalist spiel. The glam tracks were far superior & even some of the more aggressive songs like "Nite on the Tiles". Perhaps a better singles act than anything else.

    Exciter (Official Thread)

    When I think of Exciter, the term "also ran" comes to mind. Their debut is pretty solid, albeit a bit crude & basic, but they seemed short on creativity more often than not. Beehler's vocal histrionics always bordered on monotonous & at times even grating. Oddly enough, I think the band...

    What Did You Listen To In The 80's?

    I was mostly just following my favorite 70's acts who had managed to survive in the 80's. Even throughout the 80's, I mostly despised the typical 80's radio fare. I was a huge metal head & did a metal show on the radio through the entire decade, so I was a big supporter of all the thrash &...

    KISS (Official Thread)

    Seriously, start with Kiss Alive! If that masterpiece doesn't knock you on your ass, nothing will. A bonafide classic.

    Enuff Z'nuff (Official Thread)

    This song never fails to floor me. One of the most poignant Vie songs ever. Love it!

    Crack the Sky - Animal Notes (1976)

    Great song, but Jesus, Someone actually bothered to upload that video to YouTube? It's unwatchable.

    UFO - Obsession (1978)

    Re: UFO Obsession (1978) A brilliant album & easily my favorite UFO album. Pure class is what this album is. It's an intelligent, dynamic & perfectly paced record that I'd be hard pressed to find a flaw in. Maybe the only slightly weak tracks would be Hot 'n Ready or Born To Lose but even...

    Videos We've Never Seen

    May not be rare to our UK friends, but I've only seen this video on US television once & that was in 1987! 3nMAjtWYjyg And I don't think I've ever seen this video...wow. JhQ6dMqJJ24

    Danelectro Guitars

    Love Danos. The most comfortable necks I've ever laid my hands on. Love the tone too.

    Skyclad (Official Thread)

    Re: Skyclad: Folk/Thrash Love this band! Never was a big Sabbat fan, but Walkyier's lyrics are profoundly intelligent & poetic. The band, IMO, is dead without him. "Jonah's Ark" & "The Answer Machine?" are standouts.

    Saigon Kick (Official Thread)

    Nothing but respect for this band. Once upon a time my old band & Saigon Kick were being courted by 3rd Stone Records (headed by actor Michael Douglas believe it or not) & only one band got the contract. Guess who? Lol. They were incredibly diverse & talented. They've done some reunion gigs...

    {Resolved} Photo Albums issue?

    Re: Photo Albums issue? Ah, you could be right. I never saw any limits stated in the FAQ so in my overindulgence I maxed out my first two albums. :D

    {Resolved} Photo Albums issue?

    Re: Photo Albums issue? Yea, the "upload pictures" option is not visible. I've created two previous albums without incident.

    {Resolved} Photo Albums issue?

    Re: Photo Albums issue? Nope, no such icons or text. That's why I got confused b/c I remember them being there to begin with. Hmmmm...

    {Resolved} Photo Albums issue?

    I created a new album but there's no option to upload photos to it. Am I missing something or is it a glitch? Any suggestions would rock. Thanks!

    The Move (Official Thread)

    I absolutely love the debut, even if it is essentially a ton of singles compiled on one LP. It's extremely diverse & there are more hooks than a tackle box. The last remaster is particularly good.

    Nazareth (Official Thread)

    Ah well you know what they say, 'different strokes' :) That track has a lot of atmosphere, to these ears, which is something not commonly found on a Naz album. That's why I dig it so much.

    Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (Official Thread)

    Re: The Official Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show Thread The '70-'75 era of this band is hard to top. They were irreverent, raucous, hilarious & stoned out of their everlovin' minds. Thanks to Silverstein's songwriting! Their move to Capitol effectively neutered them musically & it was...

    About Us is def my favorite of the three & yes, What Comes After is the highlight of the record. No question.

    Thundermug (Official Thread)

    Bitchen! I love this band. Went thru the trouble of tracking down their three LPs, two CDs & all of their singles. I LOVE the first three, especially Ta-Daa!!!. Highly recommended for fans of hard rock with loads of pop hooks. They should've been much bigger than they were.

    Nazareth (Official Thread)

    11 pages for a Naz thread? Whodathunkit? So glad though, as these boys have always kind of been unfairly regarded as third tier bonehead rock. Nothing could be further from the truth. While I admit that Naz have never been masters of "the hook" at least on a consistent basis, they have...
