Boston has to get my vote here. Their first album is perfect, and they never beat it, whilst most of the other bands I enjoy here are improved or even peak on their second.

Okay, Loverboy are out for the next round, to be replaced by Meat Loaf (not suitable for vegetarians). Smile

Seems a shame that his first album won’t get a look in, it was fairly decent….

Well, seeing as Loverboy hasn't picked up any votes so far (no surprise there), I've taken the liberty of replacing them with Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album in this poll, although it's probably way too late to pick up any votes now. Embarrassed

I agree.

I voted Kansas but Boston's first is a screamer. First Van Halen is great too.
The first Styx album has some cool stuff on it.

I chose Queen, as that first album really inspired my guitar playing!

In that list, there is a bunch of good album that found its way home, but I only kept some of them , which are all good

AC/DC - High Voltage

Aerosmith - Aerosmith

Boston - Boston

Blue Oyster Cult - Blue Oyster Cult

Foreigner - Foreigner

Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Journey - Journey

Kansas - Kansas

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell

Queen - Queen

Rainbow - Richie Blackmore's Rainbow

Van Halen - 1



I hesitate to vote between Bat Out  and Journey's debut, because they might need some help

if you must stay with a Canadian band, try Triumph.

Definitely heard complete albums by 24 of them... actually can't recall having heard an entire album by 'The Who' who I really never liked...

Narrowed it down to Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult, and Kansas. Went with the first.

I'm saving both of those bands for a Glam Metal poll, sometime in the distant future. Smile

Time stands still for Rush with not a single vote so far, when my fly-by-night prediction was for Rush to win most of these polls. Wrong again. Tongue

Never mind. There's another Arena Rock poll coming up tomorrow, so maybe Rush will do better in the second round while I'm still finding my way around these albums. Smile

Kansas over Asia and Boston. I like Rainbow but Rising is their definitive album imo.

I'm not one for arena rock, but the first Kansas album is fine. I should probably listen to Dreamboat Annie given the praise it gets.

5 stars 1976: Boston - Boston - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ogdCG3tAWj8JajY1UERX9-SH0PGHs_j

I had More Than  a Feeling that Boston would win this poll, but at least they managed a very respectable joint third place with six votes. Smile

Check out the white drummer's amazing afro! Tongue


Coming up tomorrow..... Arena Rock: 6th Album Thumbs Up

Paul,

Good poll. Did not respond before. I like several of the albums listed. Asia, Heart and Kansas would be my top 3. Boston is overplayed on the radio, but it's an excellent debut. Van Halen spent a fair bit of time on my record player back in the day.

^ Admittedly, I've never owned a Van Halen album, but if I'm going to choose a favourite VH song, I might as well Jump in at the deep end. Smile
