Rank your Impellitteri albums!

This thread is gonna cost me money! I've been checking out the full albums on Youtube and, crap, the Graham Bonnet albums (especially System X) are amazing! Tell me more about this one called Graham, who I've not heard much from. Does he have any vocal credits on heavy or particularly melodic stuff that I'd like?

Blackthorne:

Good call!

Great album & great cover IMHO

I just ordered the last two CDs missing from my Impellitteri collection: System X and Pedal to the Metal.

Soon I'll be able to rank the whole lot. But I'm not sure it'll change my top favourites, since I'm such a Rob Rock fanboy (and I'm not ashamed to say it).

In the end, Impellitteri is just too good of a band to NOT own all their studio albums. Despite having heard negative stuff about the last two I'm getting now. They've been on my want-list for a long time anyway, and I found them dirt cheap from a German site.

I didnt think system X was all that bad. Pedal still remains the clunker of their catalog though.

Silence!

What did you think of the last two Driver albums, Lari? I found them pretty boring and not in the style of M.A.R.S. whatsoever.

1. Stand In Line
2. Wicked Maiden

And I still have yet to get me a copy of Pedal.

The only Impellitteri album I've ever heard was "Pedal to the Metal," aaaaand...it pretty much sucked so I got rid of it.

Well, that was easy.

Three years after I originally posted this, I still stand by the above statement.

I have an EP of theirs on tape, and much like Freddy, I thought it sucked, so it sits in a box somewhere in my storage shed....or I threw it away a long time ago.

The end

you are going to make Scott Mitchell cry

Having got all their CDs some time ago, I finally managed to rank the entire Impellitteri discography.

I put up a list on Rateyourmusic, (CLICK HERE), because I like the format of the site. The last two entries didn't really do much for me, unsurprisingly.

EDIT: Ignore, I already posted that on the other Impellitteri thread.

Seems like I also missed a question here longer time ago:

I've not heard them. But I have been interested in getting them at some point. Well... maybe slightly less interested now.

Somebody on Youtube ranked the albums:

I own 7 of their studio albums. Their releases are quite hard to find. Still looking forward to completing my collection.
