Favourite albums 2006-2007

2007

Jeff Young: Songs From a Red Wurlitzer
Pink Cream 69: In10sity
Old Man Brown: Self Titled
Toto: Falling In Between

Not all but a few:

Toto Falling in Between:

the king of all kings, best album of the past two years. The songs, the singing, the ideas, the words, the production, the guitar playing, the arrangements, guitar playing, bass, keyboards, drums, sounds, this is an unbelievable achievement.

Springsteen Magic, at first didn't seem as good as the Rising now I like it even better.

Hole in the Sun, Nightranger:

the album of 2007, great songs, spirited playing and not just copies of Sister Christian and their old stuff.

Fogerty Revival:

Despite the silly hype about this album it is not as good as Deja Vu or his masterpiece Blue Moon Swamp but it is still very good and gets better with every play. I hate quotes about how all recent albums were not that good, the artist wasn't really "being himself" and this is the best ever every time an artist comes out with a new one, that's BS!

Biggest disappointment:

Joe Lynn Turner's new one. The songs are good but the horrible production and one of the weakest, worst recorded drum sounds captured in the past few years on any album ruins it for me. I don't know how they could screw it up that bad when the Usual Suspects was so good in that dept. This sucks!

John

Of course, the latest studio album from Glenn
Most definitely in my top 3 fave Glenn albums.

Other releases I really like:
The Codex - The Codex (Mark Boals)
Sunstorm - Sunstorm (joe Lynn Turner)
Kelly Jones - Only the Names have been Changed
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
Giuntini Project - III (Tony Martin)
Imo we had some great new music the last two years

my choose for 2007

Live in Australia : Glenn Hughes
Live in Radio city hall : Black Sabbath (or Heaven an' Hell if you want !!)
Bloody on the highway : Ken Hensley
Dark passion play : Nightwish
Humanity : Scorpions

Ayesha, I've heard a lot about Corinne Bailey Rae - I really need to check out her music.

I'm enjoying Live In Australia, too - it's relaxed, revealing, intimate, and I dig the song selection.

Thanks, Ayesha.

I've been listening to her songs on MySpace, and I really like what I'm hearing...will have to investigate further!
