Whitesnake - Whitesnake 1987




You can't go wrong with Whitenake.  The self-titled album "Whitesnake" in 1987 just went beyond the word  "masterpiece."


Just a brief history about this band, Whitesnake was founded by David Coverdale in 1978 after his Deep Purple's departure.  From the start Whitesnake went through a successful journey but this self-titled album released in 1987 clearly marked the band's reputation in music history.  This is also band's most commercially successful album selling more than 8 million copies in the US alone!


The fire blasting axework from John Sykes is just a match made in heaven with Dave Coverdale's powerful husky voice.  What a combination!  John Sykes played the whole album and his guitar playing will pierce listener's skull from beginning to an end.  (One thing I don't understand is why David Coverdale fired John Sykes after the recording of this album.)


What more can I say about this album???  You must listen it for yourself.  Every song is beyond the belief/1  The great hits were "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love."


I believe everyone should own this album.
