Molly Hatchet

So I bought the self-titled Molly Hatchet CD a while back in Walmart's $5 section. I thought it was pretty good.

Gotta admit, though, I had no idea these guys had more than one CD. They all look the same! I'm talking about main albums. Looking at them now, I recall seeing them all, but I don't think it ever dawned on me that they were different albums. Haha.

In terms of discography, are these cats worth pursuing?

For me, I only like the first 3 or 4 but I know Ult is a big fan of all phases of Hatchet. The early ones all look the same because they all use Frazetta art.

the only ones I like care for are the first two , which is the self titled CD and the follow up 'Flirting with Disaster' the rest I did not care.

Most of their albums are pretty spotty after the first one. The rest all have some good stuff though, so all you really need is the debut and a Greatest Hits album.

You think I can settle for that? Haha.

I have them all and they are considered more southern fried metal.

As someone already said, I like them all. They are indeed Southern Fried metal, much like Blackfoot. They took the Skynyrd sound and added a heavier tone, although you won't hear much of that on the first album. That album isn't quite as heavy as what would follow.

I don't think all their albums are equally great, but I do like much, much more than just the first two.

Also you can't go wrong with "Greatest Hits", but you need to make sure you get the expanded, remastered edition.
