Out of the Cellar
Invasion of your Privacy

The EP and Dancing Undercover are my 2 favorites.

I would have to agree with ultmetal on the order. A really good band, probably one of the best from the strip. Love the guitars...

Close one, I think Celler thru Detonator are all pretty much equally good (which is to say they are very good), but Out of the Cellar has 'Back For More'. My favorite Ratt song. So I gotta go with Cellar.

My first Ratt C.D album ever was Ratt "Out of the Cellar", so I guess I will have to go with the sentimental favorite.

1. Out of the Cellar
2. Invasion of Your Privacy
3. Ratt (E.P)
4. Dancing Undercover

After "Dancing Undercover" came out, I lost all faith in Ratt. I heard "Way Cool Jr." off of "Reach For The Sky", and I knew their better days were WAY behind them!

Back in 1984 Ratt, Judas Priest (Defenders was my first Priest album), Motley Crue (Shout at the Devil first Crue album), Def Leppard (Pyromania was my first Leps album), and Kiss (Creatures of the Night first Kiss album) was what was dominating my metal pleasures. Ah....I so miss those days, 13 and not a care in the world!

I like Collage

TAWNY KITAEN was a very good looking girl . I remember her from the SANTA BARBARA soap series and of course from WHITESNAKE. I checked her up on YOU TUBE and today she is a wild woman:D

She also played Tom Hanks' bride-to-be in the classic '80s comedy "Bachelor Party" when she was at her absolute hottest. (though I'm sure now that Tom is a serious actor, he'd like people to forget that movie...) From what I've seen of her recently, however, time has NOT been kind to her.

She also dated O.J. Simpson, if I recall correctly.

1) Invasion of Your Privacy
2) Dancing Undercover
3) Out of the Cellar

1.)EP
2.)Out Of The Cellar
3.)Dancing Undercover
4.)Invasion Of Your Privacy
5.)Reach For The Sky
6.)Detonator

I've never investigated Ratt's albums much after that period, although they are one of my more favorite bands.

She was also in WITCHBOARD, pretty cool horror movie by Kevin Tenney.

I take option number 2

Someone send me the EP!

The order they came out till Invasion for me....

I have a few bootlegs with Jake E. on guitar, they are in very rough shape and never really sounded that great anyways. Although Jake is great.... Warren and Robin worked better for Ratt.

Tough call, as I love them all (except Collage) for different reasons. Fave is probably Invasion, followed by Out of the Cellar and then Detonator, though I listen to Reach For The Sky the most these days. I also LOVE the s/t disc and the EP.

Can't wait for the new disc this year!

I cant say I dont like it, because Ive simply never actually heard it. It came out during a period in time when I wasnt much interested in Ratt's new stuff at the time. I did hear the S/T album from 99 though, and I didnt care for it really, so I still have yet to go back and pick up Collage.

I did get both Arcade albums though.

I don't HATE Collage, but people fail to realize it is just a mish-mash of unreleased material and things that were left off of albums.

Arcade put out three albums, by the way, if you include the live disc. Arcade was an excellent Ratt-alternative.

Pearcey's other solo stuff, namely Vertex, is crap, however.

Out of the Cellar. Never cared for them after that.

Invasion and Reach For The Sky are my two favorites. I'm one of the few with Reach as a favorite.

Out Of The Cellar is my favorite.

Actually, I had no idea there was a live one, thanks Arttie!

saw this thread on Ratt, used to be a major Ratt fan back in the day and Warren DeMartini is an excellent guitartist, maybe the best, out of bands that came out of the Sun Set Strip.

Favorite album: Out of the Cellar
Least Favorite: Ratt (1999)

Out Of The Celler/Invasion - tie as best
Dancing Undercover/Detanator - Tie for 2nd
Reach/EP - tie for third

Don't like the newer stuff!

I think the EP is probably the only thing I could still tolerate. I stopped listening to them after Invasion and I'm guessing the last time I heard them was around 1987.

I'm not much of a hair metal fan.

i'll go with the unreleased one...

Does anybody rate the album "Detonator" at all ?

...Not particularly.

But seriously folks... the first EP and OUT OF THE CELLAR were pretty good for their time, but much of what came after that was pure formula, making the same record over and over again. That sorta thing works for some bands (i.e. AC/DC, the Ramones, Motorhead, etc.) but with Ratt it got old pretty quick. IMO of course.
