Scorpions - "Rock Believer"

Probably more than any other band on this list I love the Scorpions. They have always been the unfashionable face of metal but I adore their cartoon-like take on heavy record. There was always a lot more tongue-in-cheek bravado going on than people actually realized (Germans having a sense of humor, shock and horror) and it is that sense of fun that I have always adored. But this is just run of the mill “will this do”, Scorpions. The sense of fun feels oddly synthetic, almost like they are trying too hard.
