Albums people always rag on...

I love Judas Priest Turbo, very commerical but great songs

Dio-Strange Highways another album that I love, very modern (for its time) but still Dio

Iron Maiden-Virtual XI-I like this album alot and the older I get the more I appreciate it,

Genesis-Calling All Stations- I thought Genesis would begin a new phase of their career with Ray Wilson, very underrated album and excellent songwriting, also Ray Wilson was so different than Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel that it would have been interesting to hear sing Genesis classics live.

as far as Saxon-Rock the Nations, I am huge Saxon fan but I hate that album.

Onslaught - In Search of Sanity</font></strong>

So they went a bit mainstream on this one by getting rid of the "evil" lyrical approach and brought in Steve Grimmett to clean up the vocal department. Definitely one of my favorite thrash releases of all time.

I've always loved this album, too.

I LOVE March or Die. I think its an extremely underrated song and "Jack the Ripper" is an extremely underrated song.

I concurr, a very enjoyable album.

Plastic Green Head

Not sure why this album always gets trashed. The title track, The Eye, Hear The Earth, Long Shadows Fall...all classic Trouble tracks. Requiem is one of their best ballads...and the cover tunes are excellent, especially Tomorrow Never Knows...and only Trouble would cover "The Porpoise Song".

Love this album.

I also enjoy most of Turbo, theres only 2 maybe 3 songs on there I generally skip over.

Dio - Dream Evil
Not sure why, but I've even heard Dio rags on this album. Frankly, I think it's fantastic!

speaking of Dio... Strange Highways & Angry Machines continue to receive alot of crap. why people piss all over the Tracey G era is beyond me. damn fine heavy metal.

Yep ,I expected the worst but thought both were quite remarkable.

Train of Thought

So many people rag on this album because it is not like the classic DT.

DT have a lot of great albums, and ToT is one of them!

the only part of the album I didn't like was the rapping in honor thy father, otherwise great heavy as Smurf album!

I would never try to defend these albums as good (especially considering both's catalogue) but for some reason I like-

Alice Cooper - Trash
Krokus - Change Of Address

Figure it must be nostalgia or something.

I'm also one who likes Turbo too.

Annihilator - "Set The World on Fire" added to the list!

Deliverance - Camelot In Smithereens



I really dig this album. It's not that different from River Disturbance, but if you ask some fans' opinions on "Camelot", you would think it was an album full of fart noises and congas.

I actually like Savatage's Fight For The Rock album.

~~~WARNING: FAN-BOY ALERT!!!~~~

It's still early, but I'll go on record and say:

Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy

With the 15 year long wait and people expecting Appetite Part II, I'm sure it's gonna take alot of criticism, but I'm liking it more with each spin.

How much sleep did you get last night, MG?

Clearly not enough. And now I'm getting the caffeine jitters. Yippy-ki-yi-yaaaaaa, motherfarkers!!!

I will side with Metal Guy, 'Chinese Democracy' is an excellent album.

People always rag on Winger but i really like the guitar work on their first album.
