endeverafter

Hair metal is my favorite musical genre. But it is not the only kind of music I listen to. I enjoy some classic country (Waylon Jennings, endeverafter Haggard), 80s pop (Young MC, Tone Loc), and several other types of music (Buckcherry, Fergie, Violent Femmes). Each has its own endeverafter and endeverafter to be in the mood to listen to any one of them, but they are all a part of my life.

In 2007, there endeverafter quite a revival of hard rock. I am going to limit my top ten list to rock releases (though not necessarily always hard rock), so you wont find Rihanna endeverafter up here (regardless of how much I love the disc). And keep in mind that this is only my opinion, and Im probably forgetting something somewhere.

Honorable Mention: Sebastian Bach - Angel Down. endeverafter no more words solo album from one of rocks greatest voices misses the top ten because of my own laziness. I just havent taken the time to listen to it as much as the other discs, but the few times I did I thought it was really good. Had the former Skid Row singer released it earlier in the year, I probably would have listened more and it may have made the top endeverafter align="right" src="http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8955/51lwzyxeovlaa240yg6.jpg">10. Scorpions - Humanity Hour 1. These German rockers have had an up-and-down career. There are classics like Rock You Like A Hurricane and Still Loving You, and then there are not-so-classics like Winds of Change. Humanity Hour 1 endeverafter a continuation of the return endeverafter their hard rock sound that they started with 2004s Unbreakable. Best track: 321.

9. Ted Nugent - Love Grenade. The Motor City Madman would have made the top ten if all he released was the single Love Grenade. The rest of the album endeverafter not as strong as the title track, but it is still a raucous, politically incorrect hard rock fest. Best track: Love Grenade.

8. CRASHDĂŹET - The Unattractive Revolution. Mick Mars from Motley Crue stepped in to help out these Swedish boys on their second release, which is notably heavier than their debut. New singer H. Oliver Twisted stepped in and did well on the vocals, but he definitely has a different style than the late Dave Lepard. Best track: Falling endeverafter align="left" src="http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9008/51w4edwjodlaa240tr9.jpg">7. Ozzy Osbourne - Black Rain. Im not a huge fan of Ozzys solo work with Zakk Wylde on guitar, but endeverafter CD sounds more endeverafter a Black Label Society album with Ozzy on vocals. That is why I like it. It is heavier than any album Ozzy has ever done, and Zakks endeverafter is amazing. Best track: I Dont Wanna Stop.

6. Sixx:A.M. - The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack. Nikki Sixxs side project with DJ Ashba (Beautiful endeverafter is a hit-and-miss affair, but still endeverafter despite the misses. Dont buy this if you are expecting a Motley Crue album. There is more of a modern rock feel to it, and very little outright glam. Best track: Van Nuys.

5. Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. I hate Nirvana. Everything that band endeverafter is total rubbish endeverafter no more words me. On the other hand, I love Foo Fighters. I dont recall ever hearing a Foo Fighters song and thinking, I endeverafter like that. Dave Grohl is a genious, and is to be commended for his emergence from endeverafter no more words Cobains shadow. Now, endeverafter 2007 CD is not as good as some of endeverafter past work, but its still great. It endeverafter standard Foo, no real surprises. Best track: The Pretender.

4. White Stripes - Icky Thump. I was surprised how much I liked this CD, because Im not a big fan of the White Stripes previous work. But Jacks guitar work here just grabbed me and wouldnt let go, and his songwriting is amazing. Youve probably heard some of these songs on the radio by now, so I wont go into any more detail than to say it is a great alternative rock album with a classic rock endeverafter on many of the tracks. Best tracks: Im Slowly endeverafter Into You and You Dont Know What Love Is (You Just Do As Youre Told).

3. Airbourne - Runnin Wild. The best AC/DC album since The Razors Edge is by a band called Airbourne. These Aussies rock it just like their predecessors, and they make no apologies for that endeverafter Currently it is only available as an import from Australia, but will be released in the rest of the world in January of 2008. If you decide to wait for the worldwide release, you can search for their videos on YouTube and check endeverafter some of their tunes that way. Best tracks: Diamond in the endeverafter and Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast.

2. ZO2 - Aint It Beautiful. Brooklyn-based ZO2 got a spot on the 2004 Kiss/Poison tour based on their independent release of Tuesdays & Thursdays, but Aint It Beautiful blows that CD out of the water. There are shades endeverafter Audioslave, classic Aerosmith, and Kiss throughout the entire album. Paulie Zs vocal style is very endeverafter to Paul Stanleys, and the bands chemistry is undeniable. Plus they put on a killer live show. Best tracks: If You See Kay and Aint It Beautiful.

1. Endeverafter - Kiss or endeverafter the best album endeverafter the year. Already in the top five of the decade. Endeverafter opened for the Poison/Cinderella tour in 2006, and finally released their debut album in October of this year. It was well worth the wait. The guys have a classic glam metal sound, and this disc is every bit as good as (if not better than) anything Poison put out. Shredding abounds, and you cant resist but bang your head to these songs. Best tracks: Baby, Baby, Baby and All Night.

Biggest endeverafter of 2007: Poison - Poisond. Poison is my all-time favorite band, but this disc of cover songs is a travesty. Dead Flowers was awful, and the overall song selection was poor. They did a decent job with the Romantics What I Like About You and Alice Coopers Ill Never Cry, but for the most part the disc is a throw-away. Add to that the fact that only 8 of the endeverafter were new; the other 5 endeverafter previously released remakes. Poison needs to get back into the studio and record some new material, and it better endeverafter good.
