![]() ![]() Mike Tramp and Vito Bratta can craft some serious magic and this is one of their strongest products, for sure. Though my favorite White Lion album is “Mane Attraction”, “Pride” gets the honorable second place! “Wait” and “When the Children Cry” are the hits that came out of it, though I gotta go with “Hungry” as my favorite song from the album. White Lion’s sophomore album is an absolute classic and a musical piece that cannot really be described with words. The album is full of jaw-dropping rockers and it deserves its place in my list. Some critics and fans don’t consider this album as Dokken’s finest hour but then again I never actually cared about that. “Prisoner”, “Night by Night” and of course the legendary “Dream Warrior” – the theme song for the horror film “ A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” are just a few of the stunning rockers on “Back for the Attack”. I got “Tell no Tales” in a record store as a “blind purchase” and this turned out to be the best decision of my life!! There are still so many people out there who haven’t discovered the greatness of this band so I urge them to do it now!ĭokken’s fourth studio release also happens to be their best-selling album of all time and certainly one of the most interesting and captivating hard rock gems of 1987. As biased as I am (obviously), you can’t actually deny the power of vocalist Tony Harnell or the brilliance of guitar player Ronni Le Tekrø who make the perfect dream team. TNT’s junior album is one of the best releases of 1987 and no one can take that away from it. “Everyone’s a Star”, “10 000 Lovers (In One)”, “As Far as the Eye Can See”…and on and on. “Once Bitten” is actually my favorite Great White album and this song is a pretty solid reason behind my choice. The highlight and the most-instantly recognizable song from the album has to be “Rock Me” – I bet you know it. ![]() The album came out in the hot summer of 1987 and quickly made a fuss around the band, eventually reaching a platinum status just a year after its release. Once you hear the mesmerizing ballad “Save Your Love” or the hard-rocking opener “All Over Now”, you will understand why Great White’s junior album deserves a place in your collection. Don’t forget to tell me what do you think and which one is your favorite album released in 1987!? From Great White to Treat and Def Leppard, I honestly and straightforwardly am telling why exactly I love these albums with the idea to celebrate them and remember that it might have been 30 years since they were released, but the love and excitement over them hasn’t gone anywhere.
