(1990) Holy Water by Bad Company, which featured Brian Howe on lead vocals.
Brian Howe was also featured on 1984s Penetrator album by Ted Nugent.

(1989) Badlands debut album which featured Ray Gillen and Eric Singer, who previously played together in Black Sabbath. This album also features guitarist Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne) and bassist Greg Chaisson.

(1984-1986)The Firm were a British rock supergroup comprising former Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers, ex-Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, ex-Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earth Band drummer Chris Slade and bass player Tony Franklin. Page and Rodgers originally wanted former Yes drummer Bill Bruford and fretless bassist Pino Palladino in the group however, Bruford was contracted to another label and Palladino had tour commitments with singer Paul Young.

(1987)(Contagious by Y&T is the eighth studio album by American hard rock/heavy metal band. It is the first Y&T studio album to feature a different line up since their debut album, with Jimmy DeGrasso replacing Leonard Haze on drums after he left the band in 1986. Y&T disbanded in 1991 after the release of their 9th studio album titled Ten, the same year Pearl Jam also released their debut album entitled Ten.

(1986) The Best of Nantucket is a compilation of popular songs from North Carolina music group Nantucket. It covers material from all studio albums by the band from 1978 through 1985. later album releases include, Still Live after All These Years (1995), The Unreleased D.C. Tapes (2006), and Nantucket Original Archives (2010).

This is just an example of a few albums that actually contained good hard rock, before the takeover of grunge in the early 90s. There is good rock during this period if you just look for it. Its my opinion a lot of these bands and albums are forgotten from this particular era, and often overshadowed by grunge from the 90s.

Thats a great album, problem was the band had a very hair metal image and they never stood much chance with the grunge explosion at more or less the same time.

I couldn't order them from 1 to 5, but here they are.

Burial - Untrue 9/10
The Saddest Landscape - You Will Not Survive 9/10
The Irrepressibles - Mirror Mirror 8.5/10
The White Stripes - The White Stripes 8.5/10
Sigur Rós - Takk 9/10

It's hard to say how much I listen to them, since I usually just shuffle.

I think Takk was way, way better than (), because at least it went somewhere and had a good deal less of that hideous rasping.

What a complete mind-f/ck, that one is! It's the only grindcore record with country and western breakdowns.

It's the album that got me into Zorn, and started my avant-garde obsession.

1.) Phish - Rift (9.6/10.0) Quite a bit during the fall and winter.
2.) Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch (9.7/10.0) 3+ times yearly.
3.) Queen - Queen II (9.0/10.0) Used to be once a month. Now, once a season.
4.) Richard & Linda Thompson - I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight (9.8/10.0) 3+.
5.) Oysterhead - Oysterhead (8.5/10.0) 5+ times per year.
6.) Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello (9.5/10.0) 2+ each year.
7.) The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee (9.7/10.0) 5 / year-ish.
8.) The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa (9.3/10.0) Monthly.
9.) Tiny Tim - God Bless Tiny Tim! (9.8/10.0) A few times every year.
10.) System of a Down - System of a Down (8.9/10.0) Yearly.

This probably would change according to mood. The albums rated exceptionally high in points are ones that I am so in love with that I pretty much love them in all moods, though. The others are just ATM.

The Final Track · 10-29-2011, 03:40 AM

In no order...

The Beatles - Help!
Elbow - Asleep in the Back
Lightning Dust - Infinite Light
Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me

Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer is probably my favourite album, and I've listened to that something like 120 times since February.

Usually the spins-per-year decline as time passes, but my favourite albums tend to be around the mark of 100 plays in the first year.
