again my choice in tunes tonight is an album that IMO is a totally overlooked, pivotal point in metal. I mean ... really the blueprint for power metal was laid in 1976 on this here album. I'm serious. Just like "Black Sabbath S/T" is the blueprint for doom metal, "Rising" is a blueprint for power metal. Not that it is itself a power metal record. I would call it 'proto-power' though.

Former lead singer from Asphalt Ballet. In fact, there are "re-recordings" of several Asphalt Ballet songs on here.

Raging Slab - S/T

Great White - Back to the Rhythm
Outloud - Love Catastrophe
Railway - S/T
Railway - II
Fastway - All Fired Up
Leprous - Tall Poppy Syndrome
Haken - Aquarius
Nelson - Lightning Strikes Twice
