Duff McKagen's Loaded - Wasted Heart - Hot Stuff, sounds cross between GNR and Velvet Revolver
Dio - Killing the Dragon - Very good guitar work. Probably Dio's best vocals in recent memory
Motley Crue - Saints of Los Angeles - 3 good songs: S of LA, Down at the Whiskey, and MF of the Year
Judas Priest - Nostradamus - Pretty heavy but opposite spectrums from the early Rock-a-Rola, British Steel and 80s albums. It's also risky putting out a concept album.
AC/DC - Black Ice - More like Stiff Upper lip side 2
Lynch Mob - Lynch Mob - Much better than Wicked Sensation
Cheap Trick - Woke Up with a Monster
Cheap Trick - Authorized Hits: It was 7.99 at Walmart. Has most of the hits including That 70s Show theme song. Was dissapointed it didn't have the more heavy Gonna Raise Hell and Need Your Love from Dream Police.
Sebastian Bach - Angel Down: I finally completed the album off iTunes...but well worth the $7 to complete it. Very heavy plus Axl appears on 3 tunes including Aerosmith's Back in the Saddle

This or That 2.0
1. Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler - I have to go with the original bad boy Stone.
2. Lynch Mob or Dokken - I hate to say it but this is one time that the guitar player WAS the band and not the singer that holds the name. Lynch.
3. Steve Harris or John Entwistle - Steve Harris...nobody plays bass faster but more freely plus the song writing skills are beyond comprehension.
4. Roger Daltry or Robert Plant - Daltry
5. Rock of Love or Supergroup - Supergroup, more about the music, not the lifestyle
6. Bret Michaels or Sebastian Bach - Oooh tuff one but everyone knows how if feel about Bret and I just heard a Eddie Trunk interview with Sebastian Bach and I think I've had the wrong impression. I truely believe he is a true rocker and is about the music and not the fame.
7. Green Day or Blink 182....Before American Idiot I would have said Blink 182 but that album says Green Day is more than just 3 snotty kids playing music for slackers.
8. Rush or Dream Theatre - I'll have to say Rush...they've had more mainstream hits.
9. Death Magnetic or Kill 'em All - I may have to go with Kill 'em All...I like the rawness of the sound.
10.Frampton Comes Alive or Cheap Trick Live at Budakon - Cheap Trick in a landslide

VH1s Top 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs
I recently viewed VH1s Top Greatest Hard Rock Songs. I loved it. Great interviews. Great "where are they now" and best of all - updated. As for he list itself, I was pretty impressed. There were a few hit and misses:
Misses:
1. #100 Sammy Hagar: I can't drive 55. - There's only one way to rock! Come on.
2. #96 Kansas: Carry On Wayward Son - Top 10 worst songs ever.
3. #90 Jethro Tull: Aqualung - After Metallica getting dished????
4. #63 Survivor: Eye of the Tiger - No Rocky Songs Please
5. #40 Poison: Talk Dirty to Me - No Pop Metal or Poison (which I'll get to later)
6. #89 Journey: Any Way You Want It - Love Journey, wrong list
Hidden Gems:
1. #54 Faith No More: Epic - a song that started the whole Metal/Rap. There were made fun of at the time.
2. #34 Heart: Barracuda - Glad to see the early Heart here.
3. #52 The Runnaways: Cherry Bomb
4. #49 Iggy Pop: Search and Destroy
5. #44 Cream: Sunshine of your love
As for the top 10, I also enjoyed. I'm not sure i would have put Welcome to the Jungle at #1. I would have dropped them down to 6 or 7. You could have put all 10 in a bag and shake them up and any order would have been fine. My personal #1 Paranoid.
Now for the only thing I didn't like at all.....Bret Michaels as host. Shameless promotions for his new release. Or his t-shirt that said "Bret Michaels Rock On". He thinks he's more popular than he really was. Like he was Robert Plant or David Lee Roth or even Vince Neil.
