Whitesnake / Whitesnake (1987)

With "Slide It In" in 1984 Whitesnake achieved  a huge success, but with their self titled album "Whitesnake" in 1987 the band 'rocketed' up to the sky!

The album hitted No. 2 on the Billboard album chart and the singles " Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love " were a must play for every radio and TV station in the world!! For sure this one was the most commercial album for this British hard rock supergroup.
I think that the success of the album is owed to the songwriting collaboration between singer David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes .This album has it all , big melodies, huge choruses, a big and 'fat' production and inspired guitar work from a great guitar player...Mr. John Sykes.
Highlights? I think I have answered this question above. Everything! A classic one.
