"Eye To Eye" and "Desperately" are two of my favorite 80's rock tracks!

I picked these up tonight:

Rocket Scientists - Revolution Road (2CD)
Europe - The Final Countdown
Shadows Fade - Shadows Fade

The Europe CD is a needed cassette upgrade.

Rocket Scientists are a prog band I've always wanted to hear, but could never find their CDs. Erik Norlander is in this band, so I expect tons of keyboard work! Awesome.

Shadows Fade looked like a metal album, but it's AOR. It was used, I took a chance. I like it, though. Some decent rock tunes on this one—at least it seemed so during my quick skim-through.

Company Of Snakes, The - Here They Go Again (2CD)
King's X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
Spyz4Darwin - Microfish (EP)

The Company of Snakes has a bunch of original Whitesnake members, and this is a double CD of them doing Whitesnakes songs they wrote/co-wrote. Stefan Berggren from Vanize/Razorback is on vocals. Surprisingly he does a great job sounding like David Coverdale.

Spys4Darwin is Chris DeGarmo's first post Queensryche project. Mike Inez and Sean Kinney of Alice In Chains, and Vinnie Dombrowski from Spong on vocals. Once again, anyone claiming Queensryche can only be great with DeGarmo in the band should hear this album. Like everything else he's done after he left Queensryche, it's all alternative rock. Nothing like Queensryche now; nothing even close to the Queensryche of old.

Just noticed this.

I got this album from a pawn shop for $1.50 and quite glad thats all I paid. I was on a rock/hard rock kick for awhile after I bought Skid Row's Slave To The Grind. Anyways, the songs on Stick It To Ya are catchy, but if I pay attention to the lyrics I sometimes cringe.. I didnt grow up in this era (well I kinda did, I was 5 at the time of this album) so I may just not 'get' it. The guy definately had a killer voice though.

And according to the back of the album, it was released in 1990, which means they couldnt have been some of your fav 80s rock tracks :P TSM: 1, Eyesore: 0.

Bah! This is 80's rock! =) And yeah, the lyrics of this kind of rock music was often simply ridiculous and goofy, but the music was usually too good to deny.

Guess I should check out Slaughter myself, even though the video clips I checked on youtube didn't impress me all that much (only "Real Love" stood out much to me). The guy does have a really killer voice, though, the second Vinnie Vincent Invasion album very much proves that. WE'RE GONNA LET IT ROOOOOOOOOCK!!!! :dio:

Slaughter is excellent. Stick It To Ya is great, but the follow-up, The Wild Life, isn't as good. It's OK. "Real Love" is probably the best song on that album. Fear No Evil is a better album, darker and heavier overall. Then there's Revolution, a departure from the 80s style to more of a 70s rock style. It takes some getting used to, but it's got some great tunes on it. Their last album, Back To Reality, the first without Tim Kelly, who died in a car accident in 1998, is an excellent modern rock album with 80s rock leanings. I like them all, really. I think they're definitely albums you should check out.

Bob Catley - Middle Earth

That Middle Earth album is possibly the most unconvincing Tolkien-inspired piece of music I've ever heard. Haha. It's some great AOR written by Glenn Hughes, though; it just doesn't seem like the right kind of music to tell the tale of Lord of the Rings.

Glenn Hughes huh? Does he perform on it, or just write?
