[#10914981]

Lifelong music fan (everything from Simon & Garfunkel to System of a Down to Sex Pistols) but have a particular love of rock and metal. I grew up listening to Maiden, Sabbath, Ratt, Dio, Priest, WASP etc but more recently I have discovered bands such as LA Guns (very 'Ratt') and Megadeath as well as Avenged Sevenfold (my new favourite band) and Dream Theater.

So, what other bands should I be looking to add to my playlist.

Thank you \m/

How could I forget Little Angels! Michael Lee (RIP) was a personal friend of my best mate (who I am going to see tonight performing rock covers as it happens) and occasionally filled in for him when he was down a drummer.

A contentious one here, that I'm putting out of order. Lostprophets. They made some bloody BRILLIANT music, but I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it since Watkins was jailed. I certainly wouldn't buy it new, or stream it, but if you find CDs in the charity shop you might want to try it. The other guys from the band went on to form No Devotion, but the style is different to Lostprophets

good call. Checking the 1988 list at random, some bloody great albums on there that I own (10 out of 20 including the top 5), but don't recognise some of the others at all. Some Spotify listening for me there I think as I work through those lists in order.

    Have you listened to Scorpions lonesome crow album?. Their first album and in the days when Michael Schenker was in. It's great early 70s rock and with smatterings of amusing broken English cheese lyrics, in fact the cheeseness adds a layer.of enjoyment to the whole album. I think it's a great, despite having grown out of Spandex pants and platform boots when I was about 14 (in favour of punk).
    NB it may be shit and I'm just being nostalgic

Royal Blood

Possibly the weirdest and most eclectic mixture of music from them - from hair metal to hip-hop dance.

but more recently I have discovered bands such as LA Guns (very ‘Ratt’) and Megadeath

Understandable. Megadeath have only been around since 1983.

*Sniff*

I see no Pantera listed so far, or Corrosion of conformity.

Infidels.

Yeah, some bands simply passed me by. In 1983 (I was 16) I had started to focus just on the bands I really loved (Ozzy, Motley Crue, Saxon etc) then suddenly realised girls and went all Howard Jones, Nick Kershaw, David Bowie, cut and highlighted my hair and spent my time trying to impress girl.
