Salute is the debut studio album by American rock band 21 Guns, released in 1992 through RCA Records. Artwork on the album was directed by Hugh Syme.

The song "Just a Wish" was later covered by Far Corporation, again with Scott Gorham on guitar.

## Critical reception

Billboard magazine gave the album a positive review, singling out the "catchy leadoff track 'Knee Deep'" but conceding that the band "treads familiar turf lyrically and musically" and has little in common with Gorham's "venerable roots" in Thin Lizzy.

## Track listing

All tracks are written by Scott Gorham and Leif Johansen, except where noted.
