Hi there. This is the folow up to my previous Scorpions blog where I tried to "educate" you on my favourite band.

Last time I covered almost all of the 70's era.

This time I will show you my two favourite albums of the Scorpions.

1979's "Lovedrive" and 1980's "Animal Magnetism".

"Lovedrive" was the band's first album without Uli Jon Roth as the lead guitarist (replaced by Matthias Jabs - member of the band even up until now!). To me the sound is more "solid" and more full.

On with the links:

Loving You Sunday Morning (from Lovedrive)

This song is so relaxed and laid-back, with a steady rhythm and a wonderful opening track for the album.

Coast To Coast (from Lovedrive)

Epic. Thats all I will say.

Lovedrive (from Lovedrive)

The title track. Hard-rocking song. I love Klaus Meine's vocals here.

Holiday (from Lovedrive)

This is kind of a known ballad from the Scorpions. Good song - melancholic. Especially the one and only chorus.

Hold Me Tight (from Animal Magnetism)

This song has the most simple riff there is, and its so awesome!

Lady Starlight (from Animal Magnetism)

A very "peaceful" ballad. No tears to be shed but its a sweet song.

Falling In Love (from Animal Magnetism)

Again a very groovy riff and just an overall great Scorpions song.

The Zoo (from Animal Magnetism)

The Zoo. Nuf said. :P

Animal Magnetism (from Animal Magnetism)

The heaviest track of the album.
