Most hated albums? Guardian - Bottle Rocket comes to mind. Haha! I don't know, I really like to promote music, not tear it down. I usually don't hold onto albums I hate unless it's something like the Guardian where I have the rest of their catalog.

I think it would be fun. At least i like to write about awful stuf, be it video games or music i once bought and think "why? why the Smurf did i buy that or why is it in my collection", i enjoy it more than writing about something i really like because you can be really nasty and have some fun with being political uncorrect

I guess as an artist myself I know how it feels to read a mocking review.

Scott,

A few years ago when I was still working in radio (Arrow 95.9, when I used the on air name "Jeff Stone", long story but the company I worked for made me use an alias on the air). I sent you a complimentary copy of a Living Colour release. I don't remember the name but they did "Back In Black" on it. I think the rest of it was pretty forgettable but I never did read your take on it. I'm assuming it's one you probably traded off.

No, I still have some Living Colour CDs I need to review.

Love to get some Montrose one of these days. Have some Sammy Hagar, just haven't reviewed it yet. Sammy's solo stuff is rather dull and vanilla-as-can-be IMO. Montrose was better.

If you can, look for that "Essential Red Collection". It's a Best Of and covers his career and has some decent songs on it and leaves off most of the filler. Good for a casual Sammy fan.

Vexor6 hooked me up with a bunch of Hagar to review.

Which Sammy albums have you got?
Also, speaking of early '80s mainstream rock...How about Billy Squier?

Also, on the Giuffria page, you wrote Silk & Steel was released in 1984, but it was actually released in 1986.

Have you ever heard Buckcherry or Airbourne? I think you'd likely enjoy them. How about Bad Company?

Yes and yes, but I don't have CDs by either band.

I like Paul Rogers Bad Company.

What do you think of the Howe era? I know it's more polished and commercial, but you do like some bands that had a similar sound...Although, you're known to dislike some more commercial stuff from bands that were heavier before (like Europe or Def Leppard).

Also, maybe you should redo the Wants list again...Maybe also publish a list of CDs you have, but still have to review...Would save you a lot of questions...Also maybe a list of albums you get asked about, but don't plan to buy them.

That said, got any Danzig?
EDIT: Just found this today, btw. Really great melodic hard rock, kinda reminds me of Whitesnake's Give Me All Your Love.
