Over the years, I have mostly been appreciative of George Lynch's post Dokken work. His Lynch-Pilson release was outstanding. The guys from Dokken (minus Don Dokken) have a new release out. Does anyone think they're PP worthy?

As much as I love this disc, not a chance in hell.

While they are not PPUSA material, I really hope to get a chance to see them live.
Me too. I still insist that Pilson was the best songwriter from the whole Dokken camp. Lynch has his moments, but Pilson is consistently EXCELLENT. All the War & Peace material rocked, as did Lynch-Pilson and T&N.
In hindsight, Don really was the weak link there.
However, I would put Don's songwriting abilities up against those of Pilson or Lynch anyday. The songs on "Up From The Ashes" alone are better than anything that Jeff or George have written outside of Dokken. In addition, Dokken's last three albums have some great material written by Don and current guitarist Jon Levin.
At their peak (Tooth And Nail, Under Lock And Key and Back For The Attack), Dokken was my favorite band, hands down.
