Magnum-Goodnight L.A. (1990)

Magnum are one of the most formidable and at the same time most underrated bands in the history of rock, these British natives of the city of Birmingham began their career in the early 70s, but nevertheless they would not publish their first album until almost the end of that decade with his great progressive "Kingdom Of Madness".
His following works, all of them focused on a rock with progressive brushstrokes, were acquiring their own personality that are well demonstrated in the works "Chase The Dragon" (1982), "The Eleventh Hour" (1983) and in his masterpiece "On a Storyteller's Night" published in 1985.
But it would be from the next album "Vigilante" (1986) where the band gives a 90 degree turn to their music focusing on the most melodic sounds very close to AOR, without losing sight of their complex and progressive sounds.
This album had a logical continuation in "Goodnight L.A." where they continued on the path of the AOR although with a more commercial sound, giving their music a more American style, in part due to producer Keith Olsen.
However, they did not obtain the expected success in the United States, but overwhelmingly in Europe where they would achieve overwhelming success.
Tracks like the powerful "Reckless Man", "Rockin´Chair" or the progressive "Heartbroke And Busted" were combined with half times and ballads that made up a great album of pure AOR.
