"White Lion - Return Of The Pride"

Lord have mercy.

When will these horrible "comeback" album titles stop??

[rocknut]

Shinedown at 59??

Is this some sort of joke? One of the best albums of the year, if not THE best, is 2 places below Judas Priest's utterly abysmal Nostradamus!


No way I can take that seriously, no way at all.

[spacel0rd]

It Bites??
OMG..I saw them open for Jethro Tull in 1990.

I had no idea they were still around.

[rocknut]

They are....but Francis Dunnery is no longer involved.

I was going to mention the same thing...I saw them with someone...can't remember who it was, and all I remember is that I would NEVER give these guys 2 seconds further of my time, and if I rightly remember, they were booed off the stage...

I'll tell ya what really bites...

What really "bites" is the fact that I don't recognize 95% of the
artists/albums indicated on the list!!!

How's that for getting friggn' old!

Scrolling down... I get to AC/DC and go "woooohooo...I know that one"...

As an example, what the hell is this sitting at #86...
"Edguy - Tinnitus Sanctus"...?
If I'm not mistaken, I had this affliction when I was about 27 years old and the doctor gave me some pills for it...coughed it up 3 days later and have been fine ever since!!!??

Actually, I believe it was called "Rhino Tinnitus Sanctus" at the time but all I can say is that I never want to hear of this disease again!!!... ;D

Is there a mandatory retirement age here? If so, I want my pension...hahaha.

Thanks
Kim

I think most of these bands are metal bands that are a lil bigger overseas. Power metal, i would guess from the names of the bands. Ya know...CDs that have covers with Dragons, Warriors, Wizards. Swords ect...on them.

This list with these bands in this order would never be made in the States.

I never heard of a lot of them as well.

I just went on RockReport.com and looked at 2007's best CDs.

Loverboy was on it. The name of the CD?
"Just Getting Started"

Haha

I think i started a thread a while back with these kind of names for newer CD for "has beens"
It all started (with me) with Cinderella's 1994 CD called "Still Climbing"

Now u got Loverboy...White Lion's "Return of the Pride"...Foreigner's "No End in Sight"
Dokken's "Lightning Strikes Again" (even tho its a take on a song from Under Lock and Key)

They all gotta tell us that they are either "back" or that they are not going away anytime soon within the name their comeback CD.
