I thought The Great Radio Controversy was more commercial and had less of a hard edge. I prefer Mechanical Resonance and Bust A Nut personally. But really in my eyes you cannot go wrong, even with their newest one Forever More. The only one I don't give 4-5 stars would be Into the Now, which has more of a contemporary feel to it with less emphasis on guitar solos and the like, but still has some good songs on it, including the title track.

All you need is to be into cars and you would be someone's dream girl.

I've never understood why Tesla weren't bigger. Their songs were so much stronger than most of their peers..........

I think it was just a matter of bad timing. I lump Tesla in with other bands like Bullet Boys, Skid Row, and Steelheart --- plenty of talent and commercial appeal --- but they would've had longer careers if they debuted in 1982 instead of the late 80's when "hair metal" was in it's twilight of decline. They only had a short window to showcase the goods before Nirvana and Pearl Jam nailed the coffin lid tight on hard rock.

Here's my fav clip of Tesla ---

Does playing guitar compensate for being clueless about car's?

Steelheart were really good.Michael Matijevic has a great voice

Definitely!!!

If you look at other hair metal bands like Motley Crue and Ratt that were huge in the 80's --- Steelheart, Tesla and Bullet Boys easily had just as much talent.

Michael Matijevic is from another freaking planet. Guy is unreal. Didn't he do some of the vocals in Rock Star?
