Dear Wings of Tomorrow Forum users 
... this is the year of 30th anniversary of the wonderful album THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, for some of us the "album of our lives," I think we can celebrate in a special way on this forum and open some threads dedicated to the esential album for the music world.
in this thread we can talk about the songs that compose it,
what is our favorite one? The worse song (if there are any)? they are inspired?
1. «The Final Countdown» Tempest 5:09
2. «Rock the Night» Tempest 4:03
3. «Carrie» Tempest, Michaeli 4:33
4. «Danger on the Track» Tempest 3:45
5. «Ninja» Tempest 3:46
6. «Cherokee» Tempest 4:13
7. «Time Has Come» Tempest 4:01
8. «Heart of Stone» Tempest 3:46
9. «On the Loose» Tempest 3:08
10. «Love Chaser» Tempest 3:27
At the time The Final Countdown was the song I liked the album, I remember the thrill of hearing the first chords on the radio in the late 80s, but over time my favorite is ROCK THE NIGHT, is a song full of energy, it may not have the punch of The Final Countdown but is magical and after 30 years hasn't lost freshness.
The rest is striking that there are two songs dedicated to societies or cultures of other times, exotic for someone living in Europe were Cherokee and Ninja. I've always thought that Ninja was influenced by (as I read) Joey attraction to Japanese culture, I think SEVEN DOORS HOTEL was very famous there and the band had a special relationship with this country.
Does anyone know that there is actually behind NINJA?

) and with HEART OF STONE are two of my favourite songs less known by the general public, but it is a pity. What exciting NINJA in live in November ! ...
