cal1br3tto Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 "Resolution" - Great White  Was not expecting to like this album ("Elation") at all. I was wrong; great vintage-sounding bluesy hard rock.
imawesome1124 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Thin Lizzy - "The Boys Are Back In Town"
cal1br3tto Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 "Turn the Heat Up" - Shemekia Copeland  Love her. She really gets it.
imawesome1124 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 The Faceless - "In Solitude" Â I always have a hard time listening to death metal, but this is one of the very few bands from that genre that I enjoy.
bert425 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 WEEP (Doc Hammer's band): "Lay There and Drown" Â [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 "Russlan and Ludmilla Overture" by Mikhail Glinka. Â It's a great piece. We're playing it in my Wind Ensemble this year.
onewheeled999 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Devin Townsend Project - "Planet Smasher (Live at The Retinal Circus)" Â Dom Lawson's guest vocals make the whole performance.
imawesome1124 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Whitesnake - "Bad Boys" Â Easily the most underrated of the 80s hard rock bands.
cal1br3tto Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) ^Hmm, I always figured they were still one of the most popular. Edited September 21, 2014 by cal1br3tto
imawesome1124 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 ^They were popular, but I don't think they were popular enough. I think the fact that they get lumped in with "glam" holds them back, because they really weren't glam. They were just straight hard rock with a bluesy vibe. Still of the Night is still one of my all time favorite songs, and I like songs from quite a wide variety of rock and metal. Â King Diamond - "Charon"

Still of the Night is still one of my all time favorite songs, and I like songs from quite a wide variety of rock and metal.  They get lumped in with Glam, because in the 80's Whitesnake WAS a glam band.  Coverdale took time off in the early 80's (sick child, i believe), and when Whitesnake re-emerged in 83-84 it was a completely different band (other than Coverdale).   but prior to the 80's, and, in the late 90's, Whitesnake went back to being a Hard Rock/Blues band. But in the 80's? Yeah. . they were glam.
cal1br3tto Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I love some of their glam-era hard rock songs, and some of the Led Zeppelin "ripoffs," but their ballads get old fast. Especially "Here I Go Again," since that is obnoxiously overplayed. I need to check out their earlier more bluesy stuff.

Â and they sound JUST like em. Â it's some good stuff.
