Desert Island Albums Volume 2 – Bonus

In Volume 2 of our Desert Island Albums series, we are going to review classic albums from Dokken and Night Ranger. We will go track by track for two albums that we would be happy to have with us while we are stranded on a desert island. It’s Thanksgiving and we are thankful to all our listeners. It seems like it’s a great time for a bonus episode. In Volume 2, we have selected Night Ranger’s Midnight Madness and Dokken’s very rocking Back For The Attack.

Album Info

Midnight Madness is the second studio album by American rock band Night Ranger, released in October 26, 1983 on MCA Records. The album produced three charting singles and contains the band’s best known hit, “Sister Christian.” It remains their highest selling album at over a million copies sold in the US.

Back for the Attack is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Dokken, released on November 2, 1987 through Elektra Records. A remastered edition featuring a bonus track was reissued in 2009 through Warner Music Japan. It is the band’s best-selling album, reaching No. 13 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and remaining on that chart for 33 weeks. Three singles also charted on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart: “Dream Warriors” reached No. 22, “Prisoner” at No. 37, and “Burning Like a Flame” at No. 20 as well as No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

  1. I always love your intros. They are unique and creative. Love these 2 albums, like BFTA a bit better than MM.

    1. Thanks Sandy for listening. We appreciate your feedback on our intros. Glad you dig the show. Out of the two BFTA is my favorite as well.
