No rest for the Wicked was an awsome album. So was Skyscraper. Tough choice.

Gotta go with Living Colour's "Vivid". Great debut from a criminally under-rated band.

Skyscraper just didn't do it for me then or now. Overproduction, keyboards, or whatever, it's my least favorite DLR album.

Actually, that was part of the problem. The media tagged them as the "Black Van Halen" and so a lot of people evaluated them on those terms, rather than by their own talents. It was like when The Knack got branded as "The new Beatles" through no fault of their own. And the fact that the name "Van Halen" had been greatly de-valued after Ou812 didn't help either.

I voted for "Skyscraper", though it's not my Dave solo fave.

Who remembers the JEFF HEALEY BAND's "See the Light"? Jeff was only 20 back then, and on his first album he showed an incredible feeling on the guitar... He is blind and plays sitting on a chair. But his age and his blindness don't matter, this record is just grand. Too bad Jeff Healey has almost been forgotten, too bad...

Fookin' Skyscraper!!!

Even if it were not a Dave album, it's my favorite solo album of his period. Brings back a ton of memories.

I remember Jeff Healey..... mostly because people thought I looked like him. Especially when I was wearing really dark sunglasses. :cool:

I missed this. Three months later... :o I bet you used to sign autographs, before getting on your car and driving away: what a look there must have been in the people's eyes then! :D

As for 1988, it was the year when U2 delivered their last good (great?) album, "Rattle & hum", IMO.

Anyway, this was a pretty big effort by WARF, and surely the best thread sequel of 2005 by far! :cool:

I'd put Nothing's Shocking above all the poll options. Even Dave's. Not to rattle anybody's cage, but Skyscraper, as good as it was, wasn't really much of anything we hadn't more or less heard from Dave before. Came across like EEAS leftovers to me more than anything else.

What Jane's did that year blew all that other stuff off the map.
