    Great topic. I’m looking at Nugent in the background. Lol.
    I always thought Y&T as a very American band.

    Hall of the Mountain King is a masterpiece. Criss & Jon going off, memorable riffs, hooks, & incredible guitar playing. Definitely a must listen. 👍🤘

    • @thomasbrown2465
      @thomasbrown2465 Год назад

      I agree, I also love thier follow up, Gutter Ballet. Both had great jams from front to back. Criss and Jon was amazing on all thier albums together. But Hall of the mountain king and Gutter Ballet was when they was at thier very best.

    @patriotpizzaman Год назад +3

    Fire Down Under has been my go to under the radar album to turn people onto. Absolutely amazing album! Operation Mindcrime is top 3 for me and Savatage is probably my all-time favorite Metal band that isn't named Iron Maiden! Sirens, The Dungeons Are Calling, Power Of the NIght, Hall Of The Mountain King! Take your pick! Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Piece Of Mind are probably all worthy of my top slot! Seventh Of Never is my choice for Chastain. Leather is so impressive on that album. Very Dioesque, and possibly more powerful than the man himself!

      From my understanding, Tooth & Nail is more traditional Metal, whereas Under Lock & Key is more Glam Metal. Dokken's image even changed. Apparently, Elektra pushed Dokken to go more mainstream in the wake of the success of Pyromania
