“Allied Forces” by Triumph appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1981 on the album Allied Forces. Its best result is #910 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #2,253 hard rock song of all time.
"Allied Forces" is the title track of Triumph's fifth studio album, and in 1981 the Canadian hard rockers sent it out as the record's first single a full month before the LP itself reached the racks, a flag planted ahead of the troops. Rik Emmett, Mike Levine and Gil Moore wrote it together, and the band produced it themselves, with Mike Jones on the recording and Rick Capreol and Ed Stone engineering.
It's arena rock with its boots laced tight: big, chest-out hard rock that plays best to a hall full of raised fists. The album behind it went on to spin off "Magic Power" and "Fight the Good Fight", and it's still regarded as the record that defines Triumph.
