Rock
Report’s
favourites
of all
times
600 acts and
their best
albums ever
Chris Lambert
May 2009
May 2009 is an important
month in the existence of Rock
Report, because we’re
celebrating our twentieth (!)
anniversary.
For the uninitiated: Rock Report
was set up in 1989 to promote
AOR (adult oriented rock),
melodic (hard) rock/metal and
progressive rock/metal.
Immediate cause was the lack
of coverage in the better known
music magazines which made
us decide to create a new mag,
totally dedicated to the styles
just mentioned.
The very first issue of the Rock
Report mag had the English
band Dare on the cover and hit
the streets way back in May
1989. During its existence the
mag underwent many changes.
Up to issue 14 Rock Report
was nothing more than a
copied fanzine with an edition
limited to a couple of 100
copies. Slowly but surely
however, the circulation kept
growing to the extent that in
1991 it was decided to go in
print. A cheap printer was
quickly found and although the
delivered quality was rather
poor, with every issue of the
mag released, the circulation
kept on growing.
Another big step forward came
in 1997 when the Rock Report
staff decided to go on board
with a professional printingoffice. A better decision couldn't
have been made, because the
sales figures started to grow
considerably. Artists, bands,
labels, record and management
companies started to see Rock
Report as THE reference in the
Benelux and so more and more
people began asking (some of
them even begged) us: "When
will you publish Rock Report in
English?" Realising that English
is not our mother tongue, we
felt reluctant to the idea at first
and so, we didn't dare to take
that risky step. However, early
2000 pressure from website
visitors from all over the world
as well as from many acts and
labels became so high that we
plucked up courage and finally
decided to switch from Dutch to
English.
June 2000 was another
milestone in the history of Rock
Report: our very first issue
written in English (issue 45)
finally hit the streets! Both the
magazine and the website,
which was set up in 1996, are
put together by a small group of
extremely enthusiastic lovers of
AOR, melodic rock/metal and
progressive rock/metal who are
doing all work for free. Rock
Report is indeed a non-profit
organisation, only formed to
promote our favourite (but
underground) styles of music.
With the internet becoming
more and more important, at
the beginning of 2002 it was
decided to stop publishing the
magazine (issue 50 was our
final one) in order to
concentrate on the Rock Report
website alone. At the end of
June a domain name http://www.rockreport.be - was
registered and a couple of
weeks later the first version of
the totally revamped website
was online.
Statistics from last year – 2008
– prove that our website is
really going strong: 261,655
unique visitors - 529,303
visits - 2,180,433 pages
visited and no less than
16,061,373 hits!
Which brings us again to May
2009 and the idea of publishing
this totally free – we’re a nonprofit organisation after all –
“Rock Report favourites of all
time” as a kind of gift to all who
followed us in the past twenty
years.
The selection of the 600 acts is
based on the many polls that
Rock Report has been
organising in the past two
decades. The more albums an
artist/band got in the top-40 of
those yearly polls and the
higher they climbed on the
ladder, the more points this
artist/band has been gathering.
With a total of 493 points
Journey is proclaimed the
absolute winner.
From each act – artist or band
– only one album was chosen
as their absolute best. And
believe me: it was not always
easy to make that all important
choice. Still I’m pretty sure that
you will be agreeable to at least
75% of my choices.
From the 589 acts that were
originally selected, I scrapped
11 of them because their style
of music didn’t fit with what we
usually cover here at Rock
Report. Some examples: Kate
Bush, The Doors, Megadeth
and Nevermore. To come to a
total of exactly 600 acts, I have
added 22 artists/bands, who
failed to reach one or even
more top-40s of our yearly poll.
Among them are such great
acts like Diving For Pearls, Lita
Ford, Guardian, Idle Cure,
Pallas, Gregg Rolie, Santers,
Starship, Tangier and Zero.
On the next 50 pages
(numbered 3 - 52) you will find
the covers of the 600 carefully
selected albums, together with
their ranking, name of the
artist/band, album title and year
of release. From page 53
onward you will find a complete
index, with even more
information per album.
In case you fill the need to give
comment on whatever you see
or read here, you can reach me
at [email protected].
Enjoy browsing through this
pamphlet and don’t forget to
check out the albums that are
(still) missing in your personal
collection.
And let me end with a tip: if you
don’t know which albums to
load your iPod with, take
advantage of this – hopefully
impressive – list! 
