80's in 2008!!!

Well,2008 is at an end and it has been a good year!!!!

I know Grunge,Alternative killed ROCK way back,but it came back this year with many 80's band releasing albums after a long hiatus...

The year started with EUROPE doing an semi-acoustic concert titled "ALMOST UNPLUGGED" covering songs from floyd,led zepp,thin lizzy,UFO....
my rating: 9/10,a must listen!!!!

A much anticipated DEF LEPPARD album was ,well,FAIL!!!...."Songs from the sparkle lounge",how the hell is that a name of an rock album!!!!
There was this one track "NINE LIVES" which caught my attention mostly due to it's excessive play on VH1 during summer holidays!!!
my rating:can't.

WHITESNAKE-The gods shone brighter than ever...."Good to be bad" was probably one of the best albums this year......can't pick a particular track,Coverdale rules!!!!!
my rating:10/10(listen & die a happier man).

MOTLEY CRUE-Hohoho....."Saints of Los Angeles" was heavier,dirtier and crazier than ever....."down at the whisky",title track,"mf of the year","the animal in me","chicks trouble".....glam metal revived!!!!
my rating:9.5/10(we are the saints,one day u will confess....& pray to the saints of los angeles).

METALLICA-finally a Metallica album "Death Magnetic"....though it did very well,i was personally disappointed...mayb i just expected more,after all it's METALLICA....."the day that never comes","cyanide","unforgiven 3","my apocalypse" are a must listen....
my rating:8.5/10(i m sure everyone heard this).

FINALLY,AC/DC-whoaaaa,they are back..."Black Ice",living true to bands rock n roll image,it rocked n rolled bigger & better...."rock n roll train","skies on fire","smash & grab","decibel","stormy may day","she likes rock n roll","rock n roll dream",".....stop me!!!!
my rating:10/10(long live angus.long live rock n roll)....

Overall,great listening this year!!!!!
