Blackout is a classic album that for some time has been a hard rock favourite of mine. It's one of the catchiest and heaviest albums in hard rock history, and is also one of the few albums by Scorpions heavy enough to be considered a true heavy metal classic.

No One Like You has to be my favourite hardrock song of all time.

This song reminds me of many happy hours spent listening to new music with my twin sister. Scorpions were her favorite band when we were 14 or 15. Now we're almost 20, she's decided she won't bother with digging new stuff up herself since "she's heard all the good stuff already", and she's also apparently decided that everything new I show her is boring prog crap/boring crap with harsh vocals - in either case, not anything worth hearing. Just old faves for us now, no more bonding over new stuff.

'scuse me, goddamn ninjas are throwing invisible onions on my face. Dayum, what great guitar work on this song. Used to love the shit out of it.

Seems isolation and internet can unite many band members for one song, what never plaid togehter. This is not best Scorpions song, but there has some trick there. I like this quallity, I wonder how did they mix n master it?
