80s Metalheads...sleeper picks


Outside of Ozzy, Metallica, Ac/Dc, etc....any forgotten classics from this era? Picked up some Krokus, early Scorpions, Accept, early Def Lep, etc.....

i'm a bit late to the show here but I don't see Jaguar, Venom, Witchfinder General, Cirith Ungol, TT Quick, Fastway, Helloween, and The Rods mentioned to name a few. If you are into Motorhead you need to follow Lemmy back to Hawkwind. Twisted Sister's early material Ruff Cutts and Under the Blade are good also.
I agree, very underrated bands. As far as Hawkwind, all I have is 'Hall of the Mountain Grill.' I really dig that album!
Some good suggestions . Triumph -"Allied Forces ", Nazareth - first three albums , Dio with Blackmore , Judas Preist ( absofunkinlutley ), Quiet Riot covering Slade songs . Having seen Priest open for Zepplin and Van Halen open for Sabbeth , I have to get snooty towards the Pussy Hair Spray bands . Although Tommy Aldrege played for White Snake ( they suck ) Black Oak Arkansas was fun to see !  Sorry for my Ass Hollyness , but that's my suggestions . Regards , Mike.
