After all, gourmet's worldwide have raved about Vienna Sausages for decades, often eschewing expensive caviar or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442588499588 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:25:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442588499588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442579783300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - It is, apparently, a fairly lucrative market, the tribute album marketplace, seeing how there's seemingly fifty-gazillion tribute CD's out there just waiting for fans to come along and snatch them up. It even makes fairly good sense for bands to appear... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442579783300 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:07:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442579783300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442521915012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - It's funny. Well, actually, it's not all that funny now that I think about it. George Johnson (guitar/vocals) and Louis Johnson (bass/vocals) put out some fairly stellar funk and R&B in their day, and yet when I have the funk/R&B conversation with my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442521915012 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:41:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442521915012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442441567876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - This one must have seemed fairly easy for the fellows at Universal when they were putting together their Winning Combinations sampler series, sticking tracks from Deep Purple and Rainbow onto the same disc. After all, both bands feature... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442441567876 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:40:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442441567876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442251251332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - Sandwiched as it is between two of Scorpions' stellar, essential releases (Lovedrive and Blackout,) it's easy enough for casual fans to overlook 1980's Animal Magnetism. After all, despite the presence of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442251251332 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 18:36:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442251251332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442224250500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - Universal's Winning Combinations series made for an interesting take on the sampler CD. Rather than an entire CD made up of numerous tracks from artists on the roster, each CD in the series paired two similar bands together, providing a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442224250500 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:40:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442224250500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442212847236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - After tasting some success with their hard rocking debut album, Dawn Patrol, San Francisco's Night Ranger managed to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump with it's follow up, 1983's Midnight Madness.

Hell, it was born out of necessity during one particularly hot Jamaican summer, when ska bands slowed down their rhythms to avoid overheating both themselves and their manically... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441830968964 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:32:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441830968964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441634164356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - They may as well have called this Greatest Hits Live or Best of In Concert, so packed with hits is Scorpions' 1985 World Wide Live. No matter what the moniker, it's a fairly impressive live effort recorded by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441634164356 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:05:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441634164356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441295867524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - There are bands that have mastered the fine art of hitting their listeners over the head with a stellar opening track, album after album after album. On the other hand, there are albums that seemingly float in ethereally from nowhere, gradually... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441295867524 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 21:27:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441295867524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431530282628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - "Welcome to Hitsville, Herren." Something along that line must have been running through the heads of Germany's Scorpions sometime after the release of their highly successful 1984 release, Love at First Sting.

At the worst, Tiamat fans might have uttered an emphatic WTF? and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~430654721668 Mon, 19 May 2008 17:14:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_430654721668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430410141316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - If someone were to give you a proverbial nickel for each time you headbanged or played a heavy-duty power chord via air guitar while listening to the Scorpions' Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years, you could probably earn enough to purchase a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~430410141316 Sat, 17 May 2008 19:16:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_430410141316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430178340484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author teamfreak16 - Trailer trash humor is full of stereotypes such as drunken mullet-sporting, wife beater-wearing drunkards and trashy women.
