The Firm
1985
Favorite tracks: Closer, Radioactive, Satisfaction Guaranteed
Sleeper tracks: You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, Midnight Moonlight
My parents purchased this album pretty close to the release date. Having a household of Zeppelin fans, we gobbled up anything associated with the band. "Radioactive" got a lot of radio play but my favorite songs were "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Closer". The band line up was pretty great and Tony Franklin's fretless bass sound was something I never heard before. It gets old by the end of this record but I do like the sound on some songs.
"Midnight Moonlight" was a Zeppelin song that was re-worked for this record. I'm glad it never made it as a Zep release because it's pretty lackluster.
