Great AOR/ Hard rock band, sadly not featured here on metalstorm. They toured with all the metal giants (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Ozzy and so on) and had a minor hit with Rock N Roll Party in the Streets. I love this band and all their albums are worth hearing. The massive ballad Battles from the debut is one of the best songs written.

1.Axe - Offering

Not sure what to make of this list yet but definitely enjoy the choices, it's all that only matters so far for what works made an impact on me for the first time or the best time.

If Dunko can add Super Mario Bros 2 or Halo 2 at any time on his Game of the Year lists so can anyone.

You don't need fountains of time-wasting garbage quality like the expected corporate Tribulation so no order is required here. Enjoy.
