I can highly recomment Blaze of Glory - Jon's first solo record. The cowboy theme gets a little old (for me anyway) but the quality of his vocals just blows all my objections away. Santa Fe is one of the best songs that he has ever written in my opinion - and there are quite a few other excellent tracks on the album too.

For a band album I would probably go for 7800 Fahrenheit if you particularly like the 80's harder rock. A lot of people hate this album (including the band) but I have always found a lot to like about it. If you dislike the harder 80's sound then go for Have a Nice Day before buying Bounce.
