"But mainly the Green Day album which is excellent and which I would
highly recommend" - Noted, Kat, noted.
I have also been recommended the new Magnum album, "Into the Valley of
the Moonking", I have heard one or two tracks on Planet Rock and was
very impressed, anyone else heard it ?
No Woody but I have just ordered On A Storytellers Night. Always fancied this album but kept forgetting about it, at least until this month's CR buyers guide.
Never heard of them until about a month ago when I was watching the Kerrang! punk/emo/shite channel whilst having a bath one night and heard their single Second Chance.
Really impressed by the album, good mix of hard rockers and melodic ballads. Reminiscent of the first Puddle of Mudd album
I was highly impressed by PR's Mark Jeeves yesterday playing I Alone from Live's Throwing Copper album. Now that is taking things away from the drab and dreary playlist

Woody,
I've had the Magnum album since it's release, and can highly recommend it. Not as good as Princess Alice and the Broken Arrow (imho) but still a very good album. The 2 Disc DVD edition has some great footage of the boys at Birmingham Town Hall in the early 90's during the Sleepwalking tour.

Kat,
Just out of interest, what sort of death metal stuff does your husband
listen to? I'm quite into death metal these days!
NLT: Amon Amarth - Death in Fire
I'm off to Wacken Open Air in Germany early Tuesday morning (until
this time next week), so I'm listening to a playlist of the some of
the bands who are on the lineup (Heaven & Hell, UFO, Doro, Saxon,
Motorhead, Hammerfall, Enslaved, Grand Magus, Cathedral, Trouble etc.)

First, a greatest hits set by Stevie Ray Vaughn. On eof those guys I've heard a bit of, liked it but never gone any further in exploring their back catalogue. I like the CD though, some above average blues rock, including a corking instrumental of one of my favourite Hendrix tunes, Little Wing.
Second, BSC's Folklore & Superstition. No idea why I left it so long to get this good album. They have become a bit more like a souther tinged Nickelback on this record, softening the more metallic edges of the debut. Still this is a solid set and a good second album.

Ok folks, Here it is, the Classic Rock Dad’s compilation.
To be honest the response from the readers group was not great so much
of the list comes from the dad’s down at the local Rock pub. Anything
too deep and personal was not included, so if you voted for Go Down by
AC/DC (damn fine tune) it was not accepted. To be honest you’re not
likely to hear that tune on a national broadcast station.
Many of the obvious choices remain so it seems a good catchy riff is
just that if you are a real rock dad or just like a bit of rock when
the mood takes you.
Georgia Satellites - Keep Your Hands To Yourself
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
Montrose - Bad Motor Scooter
Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll
ZZ Top - Tush
Judas Priest - You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’
Queen - Fat Bottomed Girls
Status Quo - What Ever You Want
Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back In Town
Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
Blue Oyster Cult - Burnin' For You
Black Sabbath – Neon Nights
Nazareth - Bad Bad Boy
Ram Jam - Black Betty
Free - Wishing Well
Bon Jovi - Keep The Faith
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
AC/DC - Sin City
Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving
Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever
Scorpions - Another Piece Of Meat
Quireboys - 7 O’clock
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
The Sweet -¬¬ The Six Teens
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
Slade - Get Down And Get With It
UFO - Rock Bottom
Rainbow - Kill The King
Guns and Roses - Sweet Child O Mine
Bryan Adams - Kids Wanna Rock
Strong rumour that Brian Johnson will leave AC/DC as he is getting too
old to rock n roll.
No doubt they will continue but my choice is to start a new band or
let it go. It was great to see the change after Bon Scott died but to
do it again would I think be entering Sin City.
Cheers
Thanks for that Fred. Good to see that I have most of those. They've gone into an itunes playlist for me to take a listen to later.
Odd that Keep The Faith should be the Bon Jovi track in there. I like it but isn't the song of their's I'd most immediately put on a compilation. Living On A Prayer is too cliche but Bad Medicine, Blood On Blood & Born To Be My Baby would all be choices above Keep The Faith.
Recently I've been listening to 'Utopia', the new album from power
metallers Axxis.
I've joined the writing staff of a webzine (rockfreaks.net) and will
be doing a review of this album soon. It's pretty good.
Greg, I must have missed your earlier post above - sorry. It all
sounds much the same to me but bands whose T shirts I iron regularly
include cannibal corpse, carcass, slow death factory........I quite
like all of iot until the singing starts. I have never been a fan of
that kind of vocal.
THis week I have been listening to:
Black Crowes - SHake Your MOneymaker
Faith No More- Best of & Angeldust
AC/DC Highway to Hell
Eagles- best of
I am going to see Faith No More on Tuesday in Edinburgh - which I am
very excited about!

Come back from my hols with a few new cds and a disc full of mp3s. Currently enjoying:
Man Overboard - Ian Hunter Anno Domini High Definition - Riverside Scars on Broadway - Scars on Broadway To Ride, Shoot Straight & Speak The Truth (I think that's the right way round) - Entombed
Also rather surprisingly, Black Clouds etc by Dream Theatre. The first of theirs that I've liked enough to buy. Not perfect but very enjoyable. Maybe this will turn the tide on the back catalogue.
Still eagerly awaiting the new Porcupine Tree and Gov't Mule albums.
Anthrax - Sound of White Noise. One of many recent ebay bargain buys which have included Montrose, Tigertailz, FM, Helmet, Dan Baird and Levellers. Also been enjoying the most recent Slipknot album (their best), New Device, Black Stone Cherry, Bob Dylan, Draginforce, Duff's Loaded and some Miles Davis & John Coltrane for a bit of variety.
Pre-ordered the new PT album yesterday, taking advantage of the discount with play.com via this month's magazine. Also pre-ordered Monday's release of the new The Soundtrack Of Our Lives album based on CR's reccomendation and some impressive tracks on YouTube.
Muttley - when is the new Govt' Mule record due?
Looking forward to new ones in the next few weeks from Alice In Chains and Buckcherry.
Mrs Rob is also getting back into a rock groove as well, listening to a lot of Nickelback (who, dare I say it, are growing on me following their impressive Dark Horse album) and BSC.
