Dokken Discography Rankings
Dokken are one of my favorite bands from the 1980s.
Singer Don Dokken, guitarist George Lynch, bassist Jeff Pilson, and drummer Mick Brown were such an amazing lineup.
There have been a few lineup changes over the years, but that is the definitive lineup.
Great hard rock music but with lots of melody and even harmonies.
They were big but I think they could have been even bigger.
I’ve never seen them all together but I have seen them all. Some I’ve seen together though.
I’ve seen Dokken twice and the first time I saw Don and Mick and the second time George showed up for the last few songs. I’ve seen Jeff a few times with Foreigner.
Don is still waving the Dokken flag and even put out a good album somewhat recently with really good players.
I’m a fan of all the albums and even though Don’s voice is in a lower register these days, Dokken still rocks!!
OK here is my ranking of their albums.
