Album Of The Year 2014: # 05 - 01

Hey folks,

we finally made it: these are my personal top five albums of the year and I can tell you one thing: it was very, very hard for me to put these 5 records in a ranking order, because every single one of them impressed me so much this year. In the end every record could have been on number one. Now take a look and don't forget to tell me which 5 albums belong to your favorites! Feel free to write it in the comments below!

Special: TOP 15 Songs Of The Year 2014!

Hey folks,

various websites and magazines are publishing their "best of 2014" lists these days, so I'd like to jump on that train too and today I'll reveal the 15 best songs of 2014. For sure this is my personal taste, so maybe you guys have other favorites. Would be nice if you could put your top 5 songs of the year into the comments under this post. I'm very interested in what you think! All in all I must say that 2014 offered tons of great songs, but there are particular tracks that really stuck in my head the whole year. Those are the ones that are worth to be mentioned here.

CD-Review: Dalton - "Pit Stop"

Surprise, surprise! The new wave of 80's Melodic Rock is still rollin' and another band of the "old generation" tries to find a place in the Rock scene again. You've seen that a lot in recent years, while new, young bands like H.e.a.t, Reckless Love, Vega and so on celebrate the good old times with their feel-good music, some 80's chapels see their chance to go with this trend and start a comeback. Sadly many of them can't stand against those bands I mentioned above and I always ask myself: "If a band was laid to rest 25 years ago, what sense does it make to bring them back now?" So here is the next one in line: Swedish Glam Rockers of Dalton disappeared in 1989 and now they are back with a new record called "Pit Stop". Is this album a winner?
