80's bands that get no recognition.

[Dude! Sweet!]

Social D has a new album out and they're playing a single off of it, basically nonstop, on KROC in LA. Cool bad with a great sound.

Dead Milkmen! Got to love Bitchin' Camaro and Taking the Retards to the Zoo!

How about the Cramps? Can your p*ssy do the dog? Classic!

GREAT WHITE

Dokken

DAMN! Fastway - I also have vinyl copies of the first two albums. The checkerboard one that they went out and toured with Iron Maiden, and their second. I don't think they had a third.

Another band I loved from the late 80's is JUNKYARD - anyone else remember them?

I saw that Iron Maiden/Fastway/Coney Hatch show.

So what, no New Edition fans?

No Kajagoogoo?

BTW... Rush is coming back out on the road soon. They're doing a show that includes playing Moving Pictures complete in it's entirety.

Vandenburg

I played that Vandenburg cassette to death , he went on to join Whitesnake.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Who remembers Paul Di'Annio from the first Iron Maiden Album. He's Maiden's John Rutsey.

And I honestly can't believe I forgot to put this one up (other than that I listen to them constantly so rarely realize that they're "forgotten"...

I do not remember the last time I heard some Tesla or Cindarella.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

There's a big statue of Nicola Tesla in Niagara Falls. All I could think of was "c'mon little Suzie!" when I saw it...

Indeed! And Clive Burr was the original drummer.

Somewhat rare Maiden that I believe was only on an EP (which I happen to have on vinyl)

Damn that was some old IM!!

Still one of my favorites:

I don't know how many of these bands mentioned were under rated, or just un talented, so they didn't deserve recognition...

Early Maiden-Di'Annio was AWESOME!!!
I think of the "other" Black Sabbaths lately as I hear Ozzy getting interviewed...Ian Gillian and Ronnie Dio

Saw Fastway once and even the wife likes a couple of their tunes
I got Vandenberg on VINYL
Saw the cult open for Metallic during the Justice tour...NEVER CARED FOR THE CULT after that. Singer says some $hi+ about it being great to be in Michigan...spits out a couple LOUSY musicians and doesn't mention the Nuge, Bob Seger, or anyone worthwhile
Seems like some "hairbands" are getting a little traction lately...
Never liked 'em back then (puss's) but for some reason I had Firehouse doing bye bye baby bye bye on inn the boat...wife hates that it is SO cheesy. I got a kick out if it now since she is so offended that her husband listened to it even once

Any body have Z Rock radio staion back in the day??

Can't believe I left this one out - Marillion.
The "Misplaced Childhood" album is epic.

 

[Buoy]

Another band that I forgot from the early 90's - Material Issue.
A lot of good tunes.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Marillion... awesome. How about LA Guns?

I was never a huge Maiden fan, but met Nicko Mcbrain saturday night, he owns a BarBQ joint right near my house, and lives about a mile from me.

[Bobcat]

How about Pat f*cking Travers ?
