Slash: In the running? You decide
It’s that time of year again, when the Classic Rock writers get voting for their favourite albums Of 2012.
But never mind us… what’s your top choice? And, more importantly, why?
Did Slash’s Apocalyptic Love take you down to Paradise City? Did Rush’s Clockwork Angels get you ticking? Did you get your rocks off to St Prostitute’s mighty Here Come The Prostitutes? Did Classic Rock completely miss the boat on the best record of the year?
Cast your vote in the comments below – name your chosen record, name the artist, and explain in a few words why it deserves the title of album of the year.
The best arguments will appear in the year-end issue of Classic Rock, edition number 179, on sale December 5.
