SAINTS & SINNERS - S/t (Released: 1992, Savage)

Canadians Saints & Sinners is one of those terrific but underrated Hard Rock bands killed by grunge. Their only album S/t was released in 1992 by indepedent label (Savage) with the help of Aldo Nova. The album didn't enjoy success so the band split only one year later.

Impressive album with anthems like Wheels Of Fire and We Belong... a must have album.

HSAS - Through The Fire (Released: 1984, Geffen)

HSAS (Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve) was a superband featuring Neal Schon (Journey, Bad English...), Sammy Hagar (Van Halen, Montrose...), Michael Shrieve (Santanas' drummer) and Kenny Aaronson (bass on tour with Billy Idol). The band released only this album that actually is a live album recorded from November 9, 1983 to November 21, 1983 at the Warfield Theater but the crowd noise was removed from most cuts.
Though it's a good album it failed to reach the expectations of an album with such awesome musicians so it didn't enjoy huge success reaching Billboard 200 # 42 while the only single released A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum) reached # 94 on Billboard Hot 100.
