 BOO HOO Hair Metal! March 24, 2006

Oh no its comercial, big deal the songwriting just happens to be amazing. David Coverdale sings his heart out(and he's from yorkshire, yeah!) John Sykes is fanatastic (and he was in Lizzy). This is a fanatastic rock album, if you want underground music this ain't it but this is still one of the best albums ive ever heard.
Excellent rock album with great guitar work March 25, 2000

I remember buying this album a few years ago and only knowing two of the tracks that were on it. After listening to the other nine tracks I was most definitely there and then a Whitesnake fan. This album won't appeal to everyone no doubt, but if you're a fan of 80's rock I would recommend it. In fact, I would go as far as saying that this is the best album I have ever bought (including compilations).

Ok, they must be the most unfashionable band in the world- the album is called 1987 after all. But this is drama rock at its best. It's still a bit silly lyrically, but compared to others in the genre it's well above par. What really impresses me is the guitarist John Sykes, he's got the definitive hard rock guitar sound on this album- the riffs are tight and heavy but their also musically powerful (which makes a change), his solos are fantastic too; long sustain, really wide vibrato and manic speed in all the right places. Coverdale pulls off astonishing vocal moments, in fact 'Still of the night' captures it all. Go, play, be unfashionable! this is high craft
At £3.98 if you like rock you must buy this cd it's great! May 28, 2009

This is the first vinyl that I brought when I was nine years old and what a cracker. For all you big Whitesnake fans there is a new 20th Anniversary special edition of this album with extra tracks, a small book and dvd that come out last year. 22 years later and this is still one of My favourite rock albums of all time. All the songs are very good but the five stand-out tracks for me are as follows: Still Of The Night, Is This Love, Here I Go Again, Looking For Love and Crying In The Rain. The two songs Here I Go Again and Crying In The Rain are newer better versions, which are taken from the album Saints And Sinners. The Whitesnake 1987 album sold over ten million worldwide and has aged very well indeed. Any rock lover should at least get this one cd by Whitesnake it is a classic and a real bargain at £3:98.

Superb commercial hard rock, it doesn't get much better than this April 25, 2007
Adamski (UK)
Brilliant songs, outrageously good guitar from John Sykes and superb rawwwwkkkk production make this without doubt one of THE best rock records of all time. Sure it's commercial but then great songs do appeal to masses of people. Buy it, love it.
