Night Ranger is one of those many bands that never received therecognition they derserved. Another band in that same vein isSurvivor. Both bands do NOT have ALL of their original albums onCD. It's real hard to find any original albums by Night Ranger,(except if you're into Greatest Hits compilations). Anyway, NightRanger's 1985 release, 7 Wishes, ROCKS!
Last year, when their album Midnight Madness was chosen as one of my album picks of theweek, (yes, i've been doing this for quite a long time!) they hadjust been recognized with their ballad "Sister Christian". Eventhough that album was pretty good, I liked 7 Wishes a little bit better.
Night Ranger's musical style is mostly hard-rock, and they provethat here with rockers like the title track and "This Boy Needs ToRock". The other songs rock as well, featuring the 80s-rock style.The last song "Goodbye" is a great ballad, despite the title, andhow hard it is to say goodbye to someone. After listening to thisalbum, you feel pretty damn good!
Night Ranger member Jack Blades teamed up with Styx's Tommy Shawand rock legend Ted Nugent to form Damn Yankees years later, so ifyou're familiar with the Yanks, you'll like Night Ranger. Overall,this album has comparisons to Survivor, Def Leppard, and the 80'sKiss, to name a few. If you like to rock, Night Ranger is highlyrecommended to satisfy that need.
