Rokken with Dokken... and more!!!

As I make my way through the hairspray and lipstick of my CD collection, I found Dokken's "Under Lock & Key". Released in 1985, I played this cassette over and over and over throughout the 80's. Next to Def Leppard, they were probably my second favorite band from '85 to '89. I had a Dokken poster on my wall and a vinyl insert of the cover on my wall as well. My sister also had the vinyl which I played over and over and over again. From the opening cords of Unchain the Night to the catchy harmonies of In My Dreams to the rocker It's Not Love and others like Jaded Heart, Lightning Strikes, and The Hunter. Under Lock & Key is great from start to finish. In fact, tonight's 80's Rock @ 8 features It's Not Love, which was a big video hit on MTV. The look left alot to be desired, but the musicianship and the song writing was as good as anything throughout the 80's. George Lynch was definitely one of the top five guitarists of the 80's. Check this record out. Still sounds good in 2009.
