[Dirty Frank]

Heard Wind of change on the radio the other day, not heard it in years - top tune, very positive about what would of been an interesting time for the Russians.

I cant seem to get enough of this cheesy poodle perm rock group, anyone else into them?

[Rollin]

I like them.
Rock You Like a Hurricane, Big City Nights, Arizona etc are great.

Still loving you

Amazing song!

[Apache]

For Poodle Perm they really were heavy, In Trance was a blinder of an album

[goldblum]

Some of their earlier stuff is realdeal HM.I've seen them live a few times,thankfully before all that 'saluting the band with lighters or a naked flame st'.

Best Album?

[Dirty Frank]

Not sure I could pin down a best album, I prefer the heavier stuff though. Acustica is a good soft rock album though.

I love the Sonata Arctica version. When I have a car with some sort of USB wizardry, Scorpions will feature heavily on there.

Earlier Scorpions' stuff for me.

Crying Days is definitive Scorps. UJR's soaring guitar, great vocal harmonies, everything - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpbuxJzShaQ

More: Yellow Raven - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpbuxJzShaQ

Just found this '74 recording on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBVu_NZ3qHo

And even earlier - '72 with a 16yo Michael Schenker - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nTGTCSGj30

The Scorpions are on their retirement tour so better see them whilst you still can.

AKA the "We got an unexpected tax demand, and we don't want to sell our LA pads to settle it" tour.

I dunno - when a band gets to a certain age (old) and voluntarily decide to call it a day I think it is pretty ominous.

They are all fairly old - Klaus is 63 so even if they had 5 year break I imagine his performance levels would decline significantly by then.

[Kinky]

Rudy and the boys don't do it for me at all. Never ever did (nor did MSG either).

However, their fellow Countrymen Accept .... one of the best

[DocJH]

This is worth a listen too.

Can't help thinking that UJR looks like that bloke in the Commitments
