With the passing of my first guitar hero last week, I thought it was appropriate this week to honor his memory and do a ranking of his solo albums. He had 10 albums and I have to say I do enjoy all of them so it isn't a worst to first, more like a least favorite to most favorite. We include the Kiss solo album from 1978, the two Frehley's Comet albums and the rest are his actual solo albums that he has done over the last 40 years.

For My Sunday Song #455, we are talking Pop Evil and their first #1 song, "Trenches". The song is off their third album, the 2013 release 'Onyx'. An album that went to #3 on the Rock Charts thanks to this one and three other #1 songs. The band consists of Leigh Kakaty, Nick Fuelling, Dave Grahs, Matt DiRito and Josh Marunde.

You made it through another week and as your reward, we have a bunch of new releases for you to explore. For me, my prize for making it is the latest Scorpions album, 'From the First Sting'. A compilation celebrating 60 years of Scorpions! That is crazy!! What do you see here that you want to grab or simply stream? Let me know and what we may have missed.

I remember when I was around 8, I saw my brother's records and there were these really cool ones by some band named Kiss. The make-up, the costumes, the larger than life personas really captured my attention. It was that guitar sound and that music that made me a fan and my favorite Kiss member was easily Ace Frehley. He was captivating.

Eyes only recorded two albums with Jeff Scott Soto...well..one studio album and the other was a collection of demos but we will count it. Jeff had departed the band due to creative differences, however, his popularity in Europe was growing. As like the 'Windows of the Soul' album, this too was probably released to capitalize on that popularity. This is an interesting release as it is a two disc set with the first being called 'November Mass' (basically a greatest hits compilation for the debut and 'Windows of the Soul') and the second disc is called 'Full Moon' that is a complete album for Eyes with a different singer, Mark Weitz that was recorded in 1992/1993.

This week on The Collection, we are going through all things Poison. Whether is on Vinyl, CDs, Cassettes or even 7" Singles & CD singles. From 'Look What The Cat Dragged In' all the way to 'Poison'd' and everything in between including live albums and greatest hits compilations. We will even through a Bret Michaels Solo album for good measure. If you like Glam Metal, then this one is for you.

For My Sunday Song #454, we are talking the Season 1 theme song to Peacemaker..."Do You Wanna Taste It" by the Norwegian band Wig Wam. Imagine my surprise when I started watching Peacemaker on HBO and the theme song was this 2010 Wig Wam classic. I remember when this song came out and how much it grabbed hold of me and help solidify my fandom for Wig Wam.

Welcome to the Friday New Releases. We have another batch of great releases for you. This week for me, it is Sammy Hagar and John 5. Those two are on pre-order and I hope they make it to me today so I can crank them on the stereo. What do you want to hear this week? Let us know and tells us what we may have left off so everyone knows.

After Takara's third album, The label decided to release a greatest hits compilation of those first three albums. Jeff Scott Soto was no longer a member of the band...okay...he was never an "official" member of the band even though he sang on three albums with them. Now that the band needed to search for a new singer, the label wanted to release this to hold fans over until that process was done.

This week, we are going to explore my David Coverdale Collection on vinyl. We will start with his time with Deep Purple and go through the Whitesnake collection as well as any solo and side projects. I'll even throw in some bootlegs and 12" Singles. It is all things Coverdale for this episode as he is one of my favorite Rock & Roll Singers and I think I have enough stuff to go through that I think you'll enjoy!!

For My Sunday Song #453, we are talking "Last American Summer" off the new album from Will Hoge, 'Sweet Misery' which came out on August 22, 2025. The song was written by Cleto Cordero of the band Flatland Cavalry with the help of Will Hoge. Flatland Cavalry actually released this song back in 2023, however, their version was straight up country.

Does it really matter all the releases that are coming out today? Seriously, is anyone going to talk about anything other than the new Taylor Swift album? Doubtful, but I will at least try. I have at least 30+ other releases for you that are not Taylor Swift. Hopefully there is something for you to listen to this week. There is nothing for me to go and grab so nice to have a break.

Back in November 2010, Scorpions were on their first farewell tour...and as we know now, it wasn't their last farewell tour. To help capitalize on that tour, Mercury released a compilation for the band called 'Icon'. The 'Icon' compilations have been around a while and numerous bands have these such as Kiss, Poison and so many more. The single disc version, what we have here, is simply a 12 track compilation that covers the biggest hits of their career.

September draws to a close, so it is time for the monthly wrap-up so lets see what 2 Loud 2 Old Music added to the collection this month. This is the September 2025 Wrap-Up and we have a little vinyl, a whole lot of CDs and even a book. Plus, I visited a record store...twice, ordered from Discogs, ordered from another record store online and went thrifting.

For My Sunday Song #452, we are talking "On and On" by the very underrated band Saigon Kick. The song is off their third album, 'Water', which came out on September 28, 1993. This was an album I didn't discover until a few years back when I interviewed Jason Bieler on The Lebrain Train with Mike Ladano. I remember "Love is on the Way" off 'The Lizard', but I didn't explore them more back then and boy did I miss out.

We are to the last Friday Releases in September and it is the most I think we've had in a while as we are close to 50 releases for you to check out. Sadly, for me, there is nothing I'm dying to check out, but that doesn't mean you will have nothing. Take a look and let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed.

I have been doing a Kiss Bootleg Series for years. You get a review every time I add a new one to the collection. Well, after buying 38 Bootleg CDs from John Humphrey’s personal collection, I figured let’s jump right back in and do a whole lot of reviews on the Bootlegs. Oh, if you don’t know who John Humphrey is, you need to know he is a massive Kiss collector.

This week on The Collection, my buddy Deke from The Distortion Den joins me to talk everything Ratt!! We start with the debut album all the way up to Stephen Pearcy's latest release and as much as we can in between. We show off Vinyl, CDs, Cassettes, Singles and even a book. Nothing is off limits as long as it relates to Ratt.

For My Sunday Song #451, we are going to talk about the pop ballad "Beautiful Disaster" by Jon McLaughlin. The song is off his 2007 album 'Indiana'. The single was released in April of that year and was the first single on the album. It hit #28 on the Adult Top 40 chart and helped push the album to #81 on the Billboard 200 Chart.

I have had the whole week off and did a staycation. It was awesome. But that doesn't mean I still can't bring you the Friday New Releases to you and this week we have around 40 albums for you. I am curious about the 38 Special album and the Jelusick so those will get a listen. Jury is out on Mike Tramp because I am not enjoying these rehashed White Lion songs.

I'll be honest, I normally don't post press releases as I get so many every single day. And I like to keep the post related to stuff in my Collection (except for the New Releases obviously). However, this one I am posting because they were kind enough to send me a copy of the album on CD. I've had it for a couple of weeks and I have to say, it is pretty great.

This week on the collection, we are going to go through everything I have in my collection that relates to the band Cinderella and yes, that includes Tom Keifer albums as well. We will start with the debut 'Night Songs' and end with the Tom Keifer solo album 'Rise' and go through everything in between. And that includes Vinyl, CDs, Singles and even Cassettes...the works.

For My Sunday Song #450, we are talking the song "Ordinary" by the band Train. The song is from the Spiderman 2 Soundtrack as well as a bonus studio track on the Train album 'Alive At Last'. The song was the fourth single off the Spiderman 2 soundtrack and was released August 17, 2004. I believe the song charted at #12 on the Adult Top 40 Chart (not the actual Top 40 Chart).

This week on The Collection, we talk Robbie Williams. With the news of a new album and some new songs including one with Tony Iommi, I thought let's go back to the beginning and talk about his debut 'Life Thru A Lens". I have two box sets of that album. One is a 4CD set and the other is 7 - 7" Singles Box Sox Set.

For My Sunday Song #441, we are talking "Wrecking Ball". And it is not to be confused with the Miley Cyrus song. This is its own animal. "Wrecking Ball" that I want to talk about is by the band Lifehouse and off their 2010 album 'Smoke & Mirrors'. This was not a single, but it was my favorite song on the album.
