Top 5 On Friday - Week 204

From The Music Memoirs

Top 5 albums or songs from 2008.

» Revelation by Journey

Holy cow, Arnel Pineda is seriously channeling Steve Perry.

» The Cosmos Rocks by Queen + Paul Rodgers

Rodgers obviously doesn't sound a lot like Freddie Mercury—who does, really?—but the overall sound of the album is very solid.

» Bulletproof by Reckless Kelly

2005's "Wicked Twisted Road" is a hard act to follow, but this album holds its own just fine.

» Naive by Micky and the Motorcars

In the past, the band has usually just recorded whenever they could squeeze it in between tour dates. This time, they actually dedicated their time to recording, and it shows.

» Phoenix by Asia

As I said a couple of weeks ago: for my money, this is the best album of 2008.

  • is this 1981 - journey, asia, queen, paul rodgers. just kidding. not familiar w/any of their new work but i'm a big fan of their classic stuff - not really asia but i did have their debut album.

    i heard the new journey singer is really good and neil schone (sp?) found him on youtube doing journey songs in a bar in the phillipines - cool story.

    no idea about reckless kelly though.
