My 296th most played album. Giant - Time to Burn. The first album came in #286, really a tie, both with 27 plays. Bad company sounding with great guitar. Although well-reviewed, Time to Burn was among the last of its commercial AOR/melodic hard rock genre to be released by a major label. As record companies and media outlets stopped promoting '80s artists in favor of newer grunge styles. The album's most successful single was "Chained", which peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, although second single "Stay" received some airplay as well. It was produced by Terry Thomas, a former member of the band Charlie who had previously produced albums for such rock notables as Bad Company and Foreigner.

My 77th most played album. Black N Blue - Nasty Nasty. Only peaked at #129 on the charts, did not go gold. Gene Simmons signed this band, I thought it was one of the best bands ever. One hit wonder some say, I never heard a song that should not have been a hit. The album includes the band's only song to chart as a single, Hold On to 18. A great cover of Sweet's "Action". Also check out "Wicked Bitch" and "Chains Around Heaven". Tommy Thayer killer guitar great songs Jamie St. James killer singer should have made Gene millions. This is my most played black n blue.

My 440th most played album. Royal Hunt - Paper Blood. Such an amazing band! I was lucky enough to get 4 titles in the music store, they moved to the top of the list, then I got this album 20 months ago played it 19 times, fast moving up my most played list. Now I see they have just posted 7 more albums just 8 days ago on Youtube so I see a lot of this great band in my future. The more I hear the more I love. Progressive rock like Rush or Dream Theater. Some of their videos have almost 200,000 views, great for a metal band. Some have less than 100 views. André Andersen one of the best Keyboard players in the world, John West has amazing vocals. Now 21 plays moved up 200 places the whole catalog rocks!

My 348th most played Album. Judas Priest - Turbo. The tenth studio album by the English heavy metal band released on 14 April 1986. I know what I was doing the week of 14 April 1986. My band and I were learning the song "Turbo Lover" in my jam room! The good old days when you could learn a song from a favorite artist and perform it a week after it's release and people knew and liked what we were doing. I would listen to this great album more but we did play it to death in the late 80's and early 90's before I tracked what I listen to. This album still rocks, still racked up 23 plays this century, with 9,549 albums to choose from it is very hard to get 23 plays! The album is the band's first use of guitar synthesizers.

My 38th most played album. Whitesnake, Good To Be Bad! Riff crazy this is a guitar players album! Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich tear it up! The Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum honored the album with a 2008 Dino Award for "Best Album of the Year. In November 2008, Good to Be Bad won the Classic Rock Award for "Album of the Year". It's also my most played album from 2008. David Coverdale is at the top of his game too. 4 singles from the CD, "Lay Down Your Love", "All for Love", "Summer Rain" and "Can You Hear the Wind Blow". I think the best songs are "Best Years", "Can You Hear the Wind Blow", "Call on Me", "All I Want All I Need" and "Good to Be Bad". The tenth studio album was the first album of new studio material in a decade.
