TED NUGENT - Discography Review

It's time to celebrate the recording legacy of one Theodore Anthony Nugent ... the Motorcity Madman, Uncle Ted, the Nuge, Deadly Tedly, Terrible Ted. You may not agree with his politics, but there's no debating that the man can play the hell out of his Gibson Byrdland. His demand over feedback acoustics and energy levels are unquestionable and in a live setting there are no equals when it comes to guitar showmen. So come join The Mighty Decibel as we critically assess all 17 of Nugent's solo studio outings, lustily praising some works and outright condemning a few others. You got to live it up!!!
