Kingmaker Review
March 4, 2021
My most played album #1079. Pretty Maids - Kingmaker. The fifteenth studio album released on November 4, 2016. I love that European metal, #31 in Sweden did not break the top 200 in the U.S. what a shame! I have followed this band for decades! This release 16 plays in 17 months still playing every month, rising fast on my most played list!! This band just keeps getting better with such amazing musicianship! Great songs ``When God Took a Day Off", "Kingmaker" and "Face the World''! Pretty Maids was formed in 1981 by friends Ken Hammer and Ronnie Atkins; those two are still at it 40 years later!

My most played album # 664. I love this band nobody ever heard of. In 1987 I was listening to an Album Network CD, a industry promo for DJ's and Radio stations and a song Future World was on it I thought it was a greatest song ever. The album peaked at #165 on billboard and sold 300,000 worldwide I thought they where on their way. They did great in Japan and Europe yet never in... Read More
