Top 6
6. Raised By Wolves - JY Group
5. Girls With Guns - TS
4. Palookaville - GB


3. Seven Deadly Zens - TS
2. One Hundred Years From Now - DDY
1. WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD - GB

All 6 are GREAT albums- The Top 3 are close to EPIC in my book

Cant rank Hunchback / Broadway or Tommy's Hillbilly album - Not even close to the type of music that I like. Heard them all ONCE DDY's Memory was decent as was one or 2 songs off of Hunchback

Note: JY's Raised By Wolves was a GREAT album that no one really heard, it REALLY was good, VERY VERY much like a good Styx album.
What If & Out On A Day Pass are two of the worst rock albums that Ive ever heard. although the songs Nature Of The Beast, Reach For The Bottle & JY's remake of Young Man are all very good.
