Not very helpful but I only have the Dokken albums and the first two Lynch Mob. Anything else I've kind of ignored. I know for a lot of people Lynch was the main attraction to Dokken (the band), but for me it was the song writing and Don's voice. Lynch falls into the category of guitarists who I recognize as being really really good, but doesn't stand out to me on a personal / connect-with level, to which you could also add someone like Van Halen (sorry!).

Ultraphonix is decent. This tune is amazing but the rest of the album is a totally different, less rock sound.

It's just recently that I bought Lynch Mob "Smoke And Mirrors"...

Then I play the song "Believers Of The Day" from Lynch Mob "Sun Red Sun" and I like it better...

The Sweet and Lynch albums are actually really good.

Lynch & Pilson, Wicked Underground, I recently bought and its good stuff. Pilson even sings a bit like Don Dokken.

KXM is way different than other Lynch projects but definitely worth a listen:

The End Machine is more in the vein of Lynch Mob.

Personally, I have always found Jeff Pilson to be the most "stable" of the bunch.... I love his War & Peace albums, and anything he has done with George is far superior to anything Don Dokken has put out.... Although "Out of the Ashes" was pretty great.

The Lynch/Pilson and Sweet/Lynch albums are all excellent, as are T&N and The End Machine. KXM is really good for what it is, but it's much more Kings X than Lynch. The solo albums are a bit scattered..... The last one (Shadow Train) was a very bold effort, but as a double disc its a bit longwinded.

I'm a huge fan, so pretty much anything he puts out I'm game to try.

"Sun Red Sun" for sure even though its an EP..... "Rebel" and "Brotherhood" are both solid too. It's all pretty good stuff, to be honest.
