I love the Scorpions in the 70's. It completely destroys the 80's Scorpions (although the Matthias era still rocks). It all just sounds so original. But I feel alone when I listen to it. I feel like no one else really knows about it, and I feel sad knowing I'll probably never get to see them with Uli, or even see them play Uli era songs live/ Anyone else ever feel like I do?

I definitely prefer 70s Scorps. Albums like Virgin Killer, Taken By Force, Fly To The Rainbow, etc are classics in my book. But I do like early 80s albums like Animal Magnetism and Blackout. It's after that that they lost me until their last one. Sting In The Tail sounds a lot like early 80s Scorps IMO.

i like all Scorpions eras.

I have yet to get to the scorps 70s albums. I just recently started with their discography after years of not liking them much..

Scorpions = 70's >80's>90's

Sting in the Tail = Great comeback album

Love at First Sting and Blackout were my introduction to Scorpions as a kid. I regrettably didn't check out their '70s albums until much later, as in the last two years, but I love 'em. I tend to listen to them back-to-back with the '70s Priest albums, for some reason. In Trance is my favorite and I really like Taken by Force too. Uli Roth is an incredible guitarist.

Scorpions kind of fell off my radar for years. No real reason, just moved onto other bands. But I really enjoyed Sting in the Tail like many others.

Sting in the Tail was excellent.

Excellent stuff from the 70's Scorps. I totally agree that this material is often lost to most fans because they did not break as a band until the 80's. Heavy Zeppelin influence in the mid-late 70's albums.

Virgin Killer and Lovedrive amongst their best material, with the latter being my favorite from the band and one of my all-time favorites.

I've never explored the Scorpions' albums much, but I seriously love Taken By Force!

I definetely prefer 80s Scorpions, but I do like a few songs from their 70s era. I pretty much like everything apart from Eye II Eye. I think the rest of their albums are all at least decent, but a lot are totally awesome.

On a completely unrelated point, it seems the recent re-recording release was to regain the rights to the songs as Microsoft seem to be using Rock You Like a Hurricane in one of their new adverts for Microsoft Office.

I was a hugr Scorps fan in the 70's. Taken By Force is my favorite Uli record.

Attn: ProgDoom.....check out Electric Sun, Uli's band after Scorpions.

Some of my all Time faves are from this Band, but early - mid 80's are the ones I prefer

"Living And Dying"

"Sails Of Charon"

"Pictured Life"


The only Modern Scorps LPs that I dig are the ones that are into heavier guitars ...Face The Heat and Humanity Hour 1 are awesome

Crazy World is cool as well but my only gripe is the so-so production, could've been better

Anybody here dig Pure Instinct?

Probably one of the Cheesiest Albums ever but I kinda like it

I much prefer their 70's albums, 'Taken By Force' being a favorite of mine from that era.

Love the Uli-era Scorps!

70's Scorps is my favorite era. In Trance and Tokyo Tapes are amazing.

70's Scorps rules!!! Uli Jon Roth Rules!!!!!

so does 80's Scorps!!!! Jabs plays his a$$ off!

A great band, which I love so much.

I've only got VIRGIN KILLER and TAKEN BY FORCE out of their '70s stuff, but I dig'em both, for whatever that's worth.
