Name some good CDs!
« on: December 02, 2006, 05:08:43 PM »
Christmas is coming soon and Mums allready started asking me which CDs I'd like.. I wanted to get some albums (as I've only got a few songs by em and want a full album) by these bands but no idea which albums are the best:

-UFO
-Lynch Mob
-Van Halen
-Pagan's Mind
-Ozzy

and any others you can recommend in this kinda style. You may well mock me for not owning any albums by these bands, but for some reason I've never got round to buying any.

Cheers

Strangers In The Night (live album) for UFO
The first 4 albums (especially Fair Warning) for Van Halen
First two Lynch Mob albums
And additionally for Ozzy, Bark At The Moon (Jake E Lee!) and Speak Of The Devil (the best Sabbath tribute band ever!).

Pagan's Mind I don't know.

Thanks for the replies.

I love the song Bark at the Moon so I'll probably get that Ozzy album :)

After the recommend a beer thread earlier I'm getting into this advice lark..

Lynch Mob:
Both the first and second Lynch mob albums are excellent = Wicked Sensation and the self titled Lynch Mob. I still listen to both regularly after all these years. Don't bother with any others especially "Smoke This".

Van Halen:
The original 1st album remaster is the classic and should be in every collection + For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge + 5150 for the Van Hagar period.

Ozzy = Tribute:
Randy Rhoads will always be THE MAN!

For both Ozzy and Van Halen some albums are made by 1 or 2 songs with the rest not really cutting it. IMHO it is worth getting a best of package on CD to fill in the jewels between classic value for money albums.

David Lee Roth - Eat em and Smile:
Every guitarist should own this.

Whitesnake 1987 - This album will be playing in my house till the ambulance turns up to take me to the morgue.

Even then I've left strict instructions to have "Here I go Again" played during my cremation.

You really ought to get the 3 Badlands albums too.  Jake E Lee doing high-octane blues rock with a fantastic vocalist (Ray Gillen RIP).

Badlands - Badlands
Badlands - Voodoo Highway
Baslands - Dusk

+1 to Badlands!!   :D



And OK, someone's going to take the piss but if you are getting into late 70s/80s hard rock:

Scorpions - Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Blackout and Love At First Sting

Forget "Wind of Change" and the long, slow decline through the 90s, the Scorpions were on fire for those 4 albums (and World Wide Live).  The earlier stuff with Uli Roth is all great too.

haha I cant get em all for christmas! My Laney was a kinda joint birthday/xmas present so I cant get loads :lol:

Joe, I heard from a guy I speak to over msn that Enigmatic: Calling is Pagan's Mind's best album.. I've only heard the songs 'Through Osiris' Eyes', 'Astral Projection' and 'Entrance Stargate' which are all awesome.

I'll check out some Badlands Muttley, and cheers for all the other suggestions people!  :twisted:

Philly I've "sampled" a few Scorpions songs via Limewire (like I do with most stuff before I buy it) and I liked it so one of those could be good :) I love the 70s and 80s hard rock!

Ooh and Amazon just came up with the self titled by Blue Murder, never heard any but I love Skyes - is it any good though?

I can remember being all excited about that one, and rushing out to buy it on the day of release.  But... I never really got into it.  It's not bad, and there's lots of good playing, but it lacks something.  I think the songs just aren't strong enough.  Others may disagree....
