Soon, the trio expanded, with ex-Montrose keyboardist Alan Fitzgerald and guitarist Jeff Watson and began playing the Bay Area under the name Stereo, which swiftly became Ranger. The band split in 1989 but in 1996 the original lineup reunited and, over the next two decades, the group would survive various changes in membership, touring regularly and recording occasionally.įounding members Brad Gillis (guitar) and Jack Blades (bass) first met while playing in Rubicon, a group led by Jerry Martini of Sly & the Family Stone that spent its time alternating between funk and soft pop in the vein of Chicago. Rubicon had a hit in 1978 with "I'm Gonna Take Care of Everything" but split after a second album in 1979. Gillis and Blades recruited Rubicon touring drummer Kelly Keagy for their new rock-oriented project. Prior to "Sister Christian," Night Ranger had a pair of major hits on American Album Rock radio - "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and "(You Can Still) Rock in America" - but the success of "Sister Christian" helped push them in a pop-friendly direction which they rode through the end of the '80s, racking up a few hits along the way ("Sentimental Street," "Goodbye". and Canada that later turned into a power ballad perennial. Night Ranger is best known for "Sister Christian," a 1984 single that reached the Top 10 in the U.S. 1982 - Dawn Patrol (Reissue 1990 USA Edition)ġ982 - Dawn Patrol (Reissue 1995 Japan Edition)ġ982 - Dawn Patrol (Reissue 2009 Japan Edition SHM)ġ982 - Dawn Patrol (Reissue 2011 Japan Edition SHM)ġ983 - Midnight Madness (Club Edition USA)ġ983 - Midnight Madness (Reissue 1984 Japan Edition)ġ983 - Midnight Madness (Reissue 1995 Japan Edition)ġ983 - Midnight Madness (Reissue 2009 Japan Edition SHM)ġ983 - Midnight Madness (Reissue 2011 Japan Edition SHM)ġ985 - 7 Wishes (Reissue 2006 UK Edition)ġ985 - 7 Wishes (Reissue 2009 Japan Edition SHM)ġ985 - 7 Wishes (Reissue 2011 Japan Edition SHM)ġ987 - Big Life (Reissue 1989 Japan Edition)ġ987 - Big Life (Reissue 2016 Japan Edition SHM)ġ988 - Man In Motion (Reissue 2009 Japan Edition SHM)ġ988 - Man In Motion (Reissue 2012 Japan Edition SHM)ġ995 - Feeding Off The Mojo (Japan Edition)Ģ011 - Somewhere In California (Amazon Edition)Ģ011 - Somewhere In California (iTunes Edition)Ģ011 - Somewhere In California (Japan Edition)Ģ017 - Don't Let Up (European Deluxe Edition)Ģ021 - ATBPO (USA Limited Edition Digipak)ġ989 - Greatest Hits (Reissue 2014 Japan Edition)Ģ007 - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection - Best Of Night Rangerġ997 - New York Time (EP) (Japan Edition)Ģ008 - Rockin' Shibuya 2007 (Japan Edition)Ģ012 - 24 Strings & A Drummer - Live & Acoustic (European Edition)Ģ019 - Live In Michigan 1984 (Japan Edition) ![]()
