Thunder is the debut solo album by British guitarist and former Duran Duran and Power Station member Andy Taylor, released in 1987 on MCA Records. It features former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones on guitar.
The album peaked at No. 61 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 46 on the US Billboard 200. "I Might Lie" and "Don't Let Me Die Young" were top 40 hits on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, peaking at No. 17 and No. 36, respectively.
The album went out of print in 1990 but reemerged in a newly expanded version on digital music retailers when Taylor made his entire catalog available in 2010. In addition to the original version of Thunder, Taylor's previous solo singles such as "Take It Easy" were included as well.
British hard rock band Thunder took their name in partial reference to this album.
