Thunder ROCKS!.......2007-07-26

I bought this cassette in 1990 when I was at college. It was my favorite to run to...these guys ROCK~! Great lyrics! So nice to finally find it on CD....if you like Van Halen, Whitesnake, Slaughter, etc.....you will love this!

Great blues based Brit Rock..........2007-04-21

Backstreet Symohony is a great release from a great band that simply flew under most people's radar because they were never able to get that hit single in the States. Thunder plays simple straightforward blues based rock with great hooks and melodies(they are NOT a "hair band" as they are sometimes lumped in with). Full of guitars, great vocals(I really like Don Bowes' voice) and lyrics with tounge in cheek humor this is just good FUN rock'n'roll.

Song Highlights include: Dirty Love, Backstreet Symphony, Love Walked In, An Englishman On Holiday(should be on every barroom jukebox), Gimme Some Lovin'(good cover) and Distant Thunder.

If you are a fan of guitar based rock, Thunder delivers it in spades and Backstreet Symphony is worthy of a place in your collection.

Yes it's old, but it rocks!.......2006-06-23

I bought this CD MANY years ago because I loved the music of Andy Taylor (he produced this, I think)and have loved it since. The music is great and "Englishman on Holiday" is funny. It didn't get nearly the credit it deserved back then. It's good, timeless rock and roll.

unexpected killer.......2005-10-27

I bought this album quite awhile ago.(17 yrs. I think.) The cover was different than this cd cover.That's why I bought it. I never heard of these guys before and I only saw it on cassette tape. i STILL HAVE IT.And I still listen to it.Check out "Until my dying day" LOUD.This guy has a voice in the range of Ronnie Dio but a little nastier.I'm going to buy more from these guys now that I know they were not "one album wonders" Buy this,it's KILLER

Between 3.5 and 4 stars.......2005-08-26

I picked up this CD a few days ago and while I find it very enjoyable I can't give it five stars like everybody else. Some of the songs go on a little longer than they need to, almost everyone one on the disk is over 5 minutes! At times they also remind me of Whitesnake, among others, which is not a horrible thing but not a great thing either. Overall, this CD is a worthwhile purchase if you've never heard of Thunder and are looking for something new after completing your Zeppelin, Who, Purple, Sabbath, etc. collections. I'd agree that's it's better than just about anything coming out today (not too hard to do that) but it's still a couple of notches below the best that British rock has to offer.

Huge in Britain; Non-existent in America.......2005-03-24

Thunder rocked with the best bands from the 1990's. Word on the street is that Thunder is still alive and well a dozen albums later and they have/had a reunion tour just after 2000. Danny Bowes had the vocal chords to power out a hard rocking song, as well as sing those 80's style power ballads. Their albums are extremely hard to find... most are out of print in America and now only sold in the states as imports. While perhaps their biggest release in Britain and Japan, "Backstreet Symphony" (1990) found only limited success here in America. "Symphony" spawned perhaps their biggest hit "Dirty Love", as well as the slower ballads "Love Walked In" and "Higher Ground". As good as the slower songs were, I liked Thunder because they could rock the house... check out "Girl's Going Out Of Her Head". Thunder joins the ranks with other select rock bands that had something to offer, but for whatever reason just didn't cash in here in America; like Mr. Big, Kix, Firehouse, Junkyard, etc. A fantastic rock album from an underrated British band. Seek this one out!

AWESOME OVERLOOKED CD AND BAND.......2003-06-12

Very good. If you like Little Caesar, Saints & Sinners, and Sugartooth, this lesser-heard band will be good listening.

Cool!.......2001-09-19

Cool stuff. Real hard-rock, just like it should be. Fans of Quiet Riot, Danger Danger, Ratt and Kix! You will like it. Rock on.
