@@LaPiernaDeMiAbuela Agree on Tai Shan, it’s the stinker on the album, even the band themselves admit it was a mistake to record it. Love the tracks you mentioned. Time Stand Still, Force Ten and especially Mission are very fine tracks as well. 1980-87 is actually my favorite Rush era, and A Show of Hands is great as well because it contains many of the tracks from that era. The track listing on the live video is different and a bit better though. Still have my original VHS.

I think only because it sandwiched in time between masterworks Fly By Night and 2112 is it underappreciated. But you are correct. It is terrific.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

I really like the The Fountain Of Lamneth. I think it stands up to anything on the second side of 2112. Of course Geddy admits that they were probably high when they made Caress Of Steel and it marked a low point in their career, so Rush themselves had a negative opinion of that album, but I still enjoy it.

Iron Maiden: the 2-disc pre-'98 non-remastered/squashed pressings of the studio albums from the debut to FOTD! (or what the hell, make it the rest of them too!) Those have been out of print for a *long* time and command pretty high prices on the 2nd hand market. It's really odd how there's been several rounds of remasters/reissues of the basic albums, but the only time (IIRC) they've re-released the singles' B-side material was on the Eddie's Archives box set, which is also long out of print and expensive, isn't quite 100% complete, and is from 2002 and thus brickwalled af as was tradition at the time.

For me, the album that perfectly fits this category is Virtual XI by Iron Maiden. The Blaze era, I feel, is generally looked down upon simply because it is not Bruce Dickinson but Virtual XI is a loaded album. It has The Clansman, Educated Fool, Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger, and more on it. It is definitely worth the listen for sure and it really should be given a second chance.

_Let It Be_ was very much loved when it came out, if you were around at the time. Much later, it went through a period where it was popular to diss it, mostly because of Spector's production on some of the songs. It wasn't a problem for most fans when it was released.

I really respect Pete's mission of getting fans to accept change in bands (ie Journey) I saw Queen & Paul Rodgers in Belfast in 2005 and that REALLY opened my mind to the whole concept because if there's ANY band you'd argue couldn't survive without their singer it's Queen. The concert was exceptional and Paul was outstanding bringing his own thing to proceedings, they also played some of his big hits and getting to hear Radio Gaga with 10,000 other people is an experience most folks should have!

[@christopherdavies3079]

I totally get with what you’re saying about Queen . I had a similar experience but with Adam Lambert fronting Queen at their last concert at The 02 , London I was fortunate to see Queen 3 times during their career with Freddie Mercury so the bar had bern set very high ! Adam Lambert fronting Queen is very marmite with the Queen fan base , but I have to say how much I enjoyed the concert , the production was very high , the visuals were excellent and I was blown away by what a good vocalist Lambert is and there certainly is a chemistry between him and Roger Taylor & Brian May and the backing musicians. Lambert doesn’t try to impersonate Freddie Mercury and brings something else to the performance. Queen and Paul Rodgers were good live but I was very disappointed with the studio album that they made together .

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Engines Of Creation is fantastic.

[@patrickcrowther9195]

A few from me... *Pink Floyd* - 'The Final Cut' Over recent years it has become my favourite album by the band. I think perhaps it means more to a British audience, given the background of the Falklands war and the divisive premiership of Margaret Thatcher. It contains the finest lyrics Roger Waters ever penned {'Paranoid Eyes' is masterful) and also his most emotional singing. *Led Zeppelin* - 'Presence' It was always found in the bargain bins back in the day, but I think time has been really good to it. A fine, fine album which sees the band going back to basics on many songs. I've long described the sound as junkie rockabilly from Saturn. *Queen* - 'Hot Space' I didn't like it much at the time but about half of it has grown on me enormously, that is the Freddie-dominated dance tracks. I now adore disco music and love the fact that the band went down that road. To be honest I wish they'd done a whole record in that style. Freddie's singing is superb on those tunes, some of his best ever.

Black and Blue - The Rolling Stones Honorable Mention - Endless Wire by the Who (THANK YOU MARTIN!!!!) When this album came out, Pete Townshend's website presented a song-by-song breakdown by Pete himself, and that was the key to me fully understanding this album, especially the mini-opera. It probably would have been more difficult without that song-by-song breakdown. You also need to be a fan of the Pete Townshend solo album Psychoderelict from 1993, because that album's main character Ray High resurfaces on the Endless Wire album.

@@bronzeagekid8223 I guess his live performance on tour played a big part in it. And not really his fault either. First the band didn't tune down to accommodate for Blaze's vocal range so he had to struggle singing older songs, and then that was made even harder by allergic reactions to some of the materials used on the stage props & constructs. His solo albums and live performances show much better what he can do.

Eloy: "Metromania" (1984) considered their worst, the album that broke up the band. My first (and favorite) Eloy album, I love it. Yes: the entire '80s. Love "Drama," and I'm a huge Trevor Rabin fan ("90125" and "Big Generator") Kiss: "Crazy Nights" (1987) I'm weird and far prefer '80s Kiss to '70s Kiss UFO: "Making Contact" (1983) the Paul Chapman years get too much hate in general. People say this album sounds like the band is burned out, but I just don't hear it. Thin Lizzy: "Chinatown" (1980) Killer album, another album that people say the band was burned out, Snowy White didn't fit, blah blah. But it ranks highly for me Rush: everything from 1982-1993. Favorite period of Rush. Bite me. Led Zeppelin: "In Through The Out Door" (1979) favorite LZ album, containing my favorite LZ song (Carouselambra). Have I fully discredited myself yet? Pink Floyd: "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" (1987) my first and favorite PF album. As a bonus, no Roger Waters vocals. Don't care if it's a de facto David Gilmour solo album, I love it. Journey: "Raised On Radio" (1986) Schon at his shreddiest, the production was super '80s but not overdone like Frontiers. Very tight musicianship, great songs and hooks. Kansas: "Drastic Measures" (1983) I have no defense for this one. I just love it. Judas Priest: "Turbo" (1986) Makes my head bang every time. I can admit this was a misstep for the band, but I quite like it a lot. Saga: "Wildest Dreams" (1987) Their only straight pop album, a risk and a failure, but it bangs, for me Black Sabbath: "Born Again" (1983) So fucking awful it's good. Heavy as shit, needs to be remixed but I rank it super high Whitesnake: "Slip Of The Tongue" (1989) Shreddy hair metal is my favorite, and anything with Steve Vai gets my vote. "But it's not bluueeessy enough..." Good, I say. Y&T: "Contagious" (1987) Not hated so much as ignored or forgotten. But my favorite from them, love Jimmy DeGrasso's drums, killer solos by Dave Meniketti, great sound. Accept: "Eat The Heat" (1989) David Reece is a fantastic, underrated vocalist. Great musicianship and hooks. Is it the best Accept album? No, but doesn't deserve the hate, I don't think.

King Crimson - ConstrucKtion of Light; such a fun album with both Larks pt.4 and FracKtured Yes - Big Generator; not the same as 70's Yes, but still so much fun Rush - Grace Under Pressure; again, not the same as prime Rush, but definitely a worthwhile album Also, Discovery is a great album Pete!

Thank you both for this fun episode and the love for BOC Club Ninja, which I deeply love because it was my 1st album by them when I was about 12 or 13 years old! (Istill think that it is better than "Mirrors" and "Revolution" Btw" Hehe ;-), But certainly not their best album IMHO.. Although I have not heard alot of these albums, I think that most of them have one common thing = "Experimentation"! And trying to fit in with the era in which they were made. All of them do not become these classic bands finest thing for sure. Two RUSH albums that get the bad rap is HOF, which of course thank God is their Last Great Geddy keyboard driven "Era", which deserves to get the regards that it gets, after a Very Great era! And "Presto", which Kind of puzzles me as to why so many do not like it, as It IS Alex's great come back to guitar driven songs! Maybe fans were finally getting used to the keyboard after all of that time?? Who knows!

Genesis-Calling All Stations. I remember Classic Rock Mag album rankings calling it "one to avoid". Even the band seem to have disowned it. I watched a Genesis documentary & it didn't even get a mention. There's some great tracks on it, the title track, Congo, Shipwrecked, What About Us. I've heard it said "It shouldn't even be called a Genesis album"' but then some people say that about all the post Gabriel albums. More Classic Rock Mag "one's to avoid" are Thin Lizzy's Renegade & Marillion's Fugazi, both of which I think are great.

[@einarassipavicius1991]

Black Sabbath - Never Say Die (sorry again, Pete :D) Gentle Giant - Civilian (maybe a lot of people view this as a improvement after Giant For A Day, but it's still fairly disliked by many) Pain of Salvation - Scarsick (oh god, how much sh*t was thrown to this when PoS released it. And I never got that, it's as strong as their classic albums) Opeth - Heritage (for me that's a start of golden Opeth era. And many people to this day still can't overcome this change of style) Steven Wilson - To The Bone (one of the best prog-pop albums I've ever listened, it still has all the qualities of every SW album) Genesis - And Then There Were Three (really enjoyable album but hated by Gabriel-fan-snobs just because that's the same three guys who made all that poppy stuff some years later). And the most funny choice for last: Metallica - St. Anger (I just find this very original. Maybe it lacks some qualities of traditional Metallica sound and compositions, but that album was a brave and interesting statement... and I really like it).

Blaze's vocals are not a good fit whatsoever but at least the musicianship on those 2 albums is respectable. Fear of the Dark sounds like a demo album, and a bad one at that.

Queensryche- "Here In The Now Frontier" Love it! Excellent songwriting, performances and tones. The haters are WRONG. Queensryche- "Promised Land" Their best along with "RFO". Huge integrity album after "Empire". Queensryche- "Q2k" A very unique album with great deep cuts. Queensryche- "Tribe" Excellent production and killer tones. "The Art of Life" is a masterpiece. Megadeth- "Risk" A very creative and expansive album with British Invasion vibes. Excellent vocals. Van Halen - "VH 3" proggish vibes. Creative, different and jarring. Gary is excellent. I just wish it had more MA. Dokken- "Shadowlife" I've always dug the songs on this record. Not stereotypical Dokken and I love it. Robin Trower- "In City Dreams" Sexy, moody, dreamy, creamy R&B flavors. Great songs! The Beach Boys- "Smiley Smile" Wacky and challenging in a fun way. Super creative and weird. Michael Jackson- "History" Extremely intimate and personal with so many different genres all over it. Excellent vocals. Angry, sweet, innocent, stellar! Michael Jackson- "Invincible" One of his best. Ahead of it's time. Excellent vocals. "Butterflies" is excellence personified. Savatage- "Streets: A Rock Opera" Their best. Rush- "Presto" Some of their best songs. I love the tones. It's a cold record but it fits the mood. I love when bands grow and mature or "change" their sound. Much more interesting and genuine to me than the same ol' same ol' rinse repeat (Dream Theater, Iron Maiden).

Metallica - St. Anger - most people can't stand this record, but I would argue that the album has more energy and emotion than people give it credit. I think that a lot of songs are angry and visceral, not trying to be cool. The struggle that the band had can be heard and all that chaotic anger and frustration is right there, I like it.

[@Gregbaltzer]

I won't argue the raw emotion, and even if you put aside Lars' snare, I still find the songs/lyrics kind of cringy. I can't make it past the third song, I tried a few times. The album just sounds like a band trying too hard to be something they're not.
