Classic Rock Critics’ Top 50 Albums 2008: 42-40
Come on in to check out number’s 42 to 40 from this year’s Classic Rock Critics’ Poll.
42. StoneRider
Three Legs Of Trouble
Trustkill
Atlanta retro apes StoneRider have their revisionist chops down pat. There’s a sincerity and disarming oomph behind every squealing solo and rumbling riff that makes Three Legs Of Trouble impossible to dislike.
41. Black Tide
Light From Above
Interscope
In an era of earnest emo, post-ironic punk and radio-friendly Chad Kroeger, Black Tide deliver a refreshing dose of uncomplicated, passionately played heavy metal songs with titles like Warriors Of Time and Black Abyss. Ace.
40. Diagonal
Diagonal
Rise Above
Diagonal’s debut is like stepping back to a time when Krautrock was the coolest thing in town, Jon Hiseman’s Colosseum were packing them in and Hawkwind-style cosmic jams were the order of the day. It’s a proggers’ delight.
I love Classic Rock & have brought every copy since day one.But this poll -sorry Thunder at 47 no Quireboys,Nickelback or Gary Moore but all your bands from your label in the top 50..whats the smell?
