Monday, 05 January, 1998

What's my 1997 Top 10 albums ?

  1. Arcara - A Matter Of Time (great melodic hard rock)
  2. Dakota - The Last Standing Man (excellent AOR)
  3. Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity (not quite as good as I&W, better than Awake)
  4. Steven Curtis Chapman - Greatest Hits (a detour into 'new country' that makes my top 10)
  5. Hard Rain - Hard Rain (not as different from Magnum as I had expected, but those female backing vocals work well)
  6. Dave Baldwin - Time (good old fashioned AOR)
  7. Tygers Of Pan Tang - The Cage (the CD reissue of one of my favourites from the past)
  8. Fair Warning - Go (Fair Warning squeeze yet more out of the formula)
  9. Natalie Imbruglia - Left Of The Middle (ex soap opera star makes a good album shocker!)
  10. Ten - The Robe (possibly not as good as the first two albums, but still manages to sneak in at no 10)

Albums that I think might have made the Top 10, but I haven't heard them yet: Hugo - Hugo House Of Shakira - Lint
