Balls To The Wall!

The best pure rock and roll band to ever walk the earth. Nobody doesn't like ACDC.

40 years of rocking. Amazing.

If you don't remember this guy, look up the song "Fantasy". It sounds awesome cranked up on a good stereo.

Scott Ian is still a bad ass.

Look up "Turn Up The Radio" if you don't remember these guys.

As Butthead would say, "huh huh huh. He said Stroke Me."

"Hold On To 18" was probably their most remembered song.

I know Ronnie James Dio was only with them for a couple of years in the 80s.

"Burnin' For You" was really the only 80s song of theirs that I liked. "Godzilla" always did, and still does rock, though.

For some reason I just wasn't into Bon Jovi....but the chicks were, so I listened to him. I do have to admit that his first album, "Bon Jovi" was pretty good, though. I still like the song "Runaway".

They were a little mellower, and only had one studio album in the 80s. I liked some of it, though. "Cool The Engines" was good. So was the song "Amanda" for the few weeks I was banging some chick named Amanda.

Technically, they did release one album in the 80s. I couldn't tell you a single song on it, though. I still rocked their 70's songs, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and "Takin' Care Of Business".

"Smooth Up In Ya'!"

"Mommys all right And daddys all right They just seem a little weird Surrender, surrender, just dont give yourself away, away"

"Shake Me" is still one of my all time favorite hair band songs.

"Can You Take Me High Enough"? How did I forget to put Ted Nugent in this gallery?

I only owned their debut album, but I wore that cassette tape out.

I loved the "Perfect Strangers" album that came out in '84. "Knockin' At Your Back Door" is a bad ass song.

Definitely one of the Kings of the hair band era.

"The Last In Line".

The "Tooth And Nail" album is my favorite.

OK, they did that song "Xanadu" with Olivia Newton John, in 1980. I just couldn't think of many decent bands that started with the letter "E". I did like the song "Don't Bring Me Down."

"The Final Countdown" is all I remember about these guys.

I remember the name, but to be honest with you, I can't pull any of their songs out of my ass.

"Poison Ivy". "House Of Pain".

If you don't remember them, look up "Say What You Will".

Never really like their 80s stuff, but still rocked out to "Slow Ride", "Fool For The City", and "I Just Want To Make Love To You".

Carry a fire extinguisher if you go see them.

Huge talent, and huge success. Could have had an even greater legacy.

I remember Vince Neal killing Razzle more than I remember any of their music.

They mellowed some, but were still relevant to the era.

Heaven. I vaguely remember them. They did tour with Motley Crue and Dio, and some other big name groups of the time.

Helix. "Gimme and R R, O O, C C, K K. What ya got? Rock! And what ya' gonna' do? Rock you!."

Iron Maiden. What else is there to say.

Blind guy. I just remember the chicks loving the song "Angel Eyes".

Joe Satriani. Amazing guitar player. I don't know why I forgot to put Yngwee Malmsteen in here either.

"Open Arms." "Faithfully." "Stone In Love." "Don't Stop Believin'."

Judas Priest. One of my favorites of the day. My mom hated them...lol.

Kick Axe. "Look up "Heavy Metal Shuffle" if you don't remember them.

Kiss. Yep. That was Kiss in the 80s. I actually loved the "Lick It Up" album. Die hard Kiss fans would puke if they heard that.

Kix. "Blow My Fuse." "Don't Close Your Eyes."

I loved these guys. "L.A. Guns" and "Cocked And Loaded" were killer albums.

Most I remember about her was her duet with Ozzy, "Close My Eyes Forever", and the fact that she was pretty slutty.....which was a good thing back then.

Japanese metal band. I owned the "Thunder In The East" album. That was it, though.

I didn't own any of their stuff, but I wouldn't turn it off when it came on the radio.

I have to be honest. I really wasn't that big a fan. A lot of my friends were, though. I really only liked the song "Sweating Bullets", but it didn't come out until the "Countdown To Extinction" album in '92.

Metallica. Back when Lars was actually cool.

OK. Montrose only released one crappy little album in the 80s. But the 70s stuff he did with Sammy Hagar was sweet. "Rock Candy" and "Bad Motor Scooter" still rock.

Probably my favorite band of the era.....except for ACDC, of course.

Only one album in the 80s, but I saw them open for ACDC's Razor's Edge tour at the Cow Palace, in San Francisco, in December of 1990. Not bad.

Great bunch of song writers and musicians here.

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, rock and roll voice ever. He still sounds amazing.

I actually hated these guys, but the chicks LOVED them.....so......

Not a huge fan, but they're definitely awesome musicians.

Dude. When "Mental Health " dropped.....awesome.

I actually really liked these guys. I have a mix CD in my truck's cd player right now.

To be honest. I remember the name, but I can't recall any of their songs off the top of my head.

I was never a huge fan, but Neil Peart might be the greatest drummer that ever lived.

The guy is still rocking out at 66 years old.

Once again. I remember the name, but can't recall any songs. I actually think I had one of their tapes too...lol.

One of my top 5 favorites of the era. They were, by far, the best band at the 83' US Festival. I never saw them live, but wish I had. Great music and tons of energy.

Awesome for a little while.

"Up All Night!"

Remember this religious rock group? They've sold like 10 million records. They even toured with Bon Jovi and Ratt.

Tesla. Another amazing group of musicians.

Not much of an 80s band, but I was rocking "Jail Break" and "The Boys Are Back In Town" in the 80s.

"Magic Power".

So corny.......but i freakin' loved them.

Hell. You try to come up with a "U" band.

This is the awesome group of Van Halen.

This is some crappy group that destroyed real Van Halen music, and real Sammy Hagar music.

They didn't completely suck.....and they were kinda' hot.

You can't have a Warrant reference without the Cherry Pie chick.

W.A.S.P. I loved the way they gave Tipper Gore nightmares.

Great band. David Coverdale also did an album with Jimmy Page, called "Coverdale - Page". Dude......it's awesome.

Winger.....chasing those 17 year old girls.

Another amazing group that never got enough credit. "Rescue Me" is one of the best rock songs ever.

The band "Yes"....just because.

ZZ Top is like ACDC. Everybody loves them.
