Andy Taylor


Thunder (Reviewed by Iluvthe80s):

I started with this album to review because it is one of my all-time favorite 80's albums. It was the first solo album for ex-Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor (who had left the group in 1986). On this album he writes, produces, and plays along with ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. This 1987 MCA release, in my opinion, was very underrated. It is a great hard rock/pop rock album.

Two singles were spawned from this album "Don't Let Me Die Young" and "I Might Lie". They both got some MTV airplay. Both have catchy guitar riffs.

The album contains 9 tracks with one, "French Guitar" being a instrumental. The album has an equal balance of rocking songs and slower tempos. Definately an album to check out!

Response to this review by Flix: Nice review, I can't believe I missed it. I have the vinyl, but is it available on CD? Thanks for reminding me of a great album.

Response to this review by Iluvthe80s: Yes, it is available on CD. I haven't seen a copy in awhile though. Ebay usually will get lots of them.

Response to this review by Flix: Thanks! Found a copy today. Strange to hear it without all the scratches from my worn down vinyl copy.
