Those are the bands I currently have. If you want, you can suggest cd's I should get from the above bands, and I will tell you if I already have them or not.

But if you think of a band that I should check out, please post the name and a suggestion of one of their cd's to listen to. Thanks :beer:

Why does everyone always say that? Their name wasn't Van Lee Roth, so why did it change to Van Hagar when DLR was gone? Whenever I hear that I always think of Joe Dirt.

A good share of the metal sub genres got their start in the 70's and 80's, more in the 80's.

I don't see Motorhead on your list, look for Ace of Spades or Orgasmatron.

It didn't change, it is just a way of saying that I want DLR not Sammy Hagar.

But thanks, I will go get some Motorhead.

I like VH better with Dave, but it was still pretty good with Sammy.

If you end up liking Motorhead, Check out Girlschool.

VH was definitely better with Roth, no arguing there.

Thanks for the tip, I will check back on this thread tomorrow since I have to go to go bed now.

Violent Femmes.

Check out Wishbone Ash imho.

60's-BLUE CHEER/MC 5/IRON BUTTERFLY
70'S-BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST/HAWKWIND/FOCUS
80'S-ANGEL WITCH/TANK/QUEENSRYCHE

Thanks all, keep 'em coming!

I endorse Queensryche, add in Rush, Triumph, Lynard Skynard, Thin Lizzie and the Doors. More when my brain starts working again.

Well some good 80's metal is:
Cinderella
Skid Row
Slaughter
Tesla
Kix
Europe

And if anyone who has windows live messenger what is your screen name

I second this post!

looking for the complete list of rock bands from the 60,70,80

there has to be a list of all rock and roll bands from the 60,70,80 and there hit records so far I have 103 bands there got to be more.

It would be a lot easier to help you, if you stated the kind of rock that you wanted to listen to.

i suppose his tastes are similar to the OP's

anyway, isn't this a duplicate thread? it should be in the Rock & Metal Recommendations thread

i heartily endorse Boston and REO Speedwagon

You have many options here. You could start a LastFM account and play classic rock radio, which will show you hundreds more bands and their work, you can also browse the rock recommendation thread in this forum.
Finding more bands should never be a problem.

^^ and oh yeah, Luke, some people have asked me to contribute to their online band, one guy from Spain and a guy from Argentina

i'm most likely to play second guitar and bass

you interested?

we're short of a drummer, though

Always interested, if I could be of any use. Sadly I don't play drums, but I am pretty good at the acoutsic guitar and I am also good at the piano.
If I can help in any way, please PM me.

Yeah he'll be back after 4 years to read this. :rolleyes:
