80's rockers I might have missed...

The Euphor · #1 11-20-2006, 06:56 PM

Ok, so I discovered these guys today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zxHB2q49kU

Britny Fox. And I like what I hear. I would like to get some other names I might have missed. After all, I haven't heard most of them yet. It would be nice if it's possible to get some CDs of the bands in question.

For reference, some other bands I like:
Lizzy Borden, Return, TNT, well, I think you all know what direction I'm aiming at.

And please, if your only comment is that you dislike that kind of music, your comment is less than wanted.

I only need names, and some advice to albums.

Thanks.

The following bands aren't true "80's" but they all came from that scene, most of them had their success in the early 90's before Nirvana took over...

Enuff Z'nuff
Riverdogs (Vivian Campbell - very hard to find)
Salty Dog (VERY hard to find)
Wrathchild America
Warrior Soul
Dangerous Toys
Circus of Power (the first album kills, very hard to find)
Love/Hate

That's all I can come up with at the moment - all awsome hard rock bands (Wrathchild would be more on the metal side) but unfortunately many of their cd's are hard to find because most of these bands weren't "huge", but excellent nonetheless.

Thanks! Just what I need!

I'm still looking for Frozen Eyes and Fate albums with IA Eklundh. Lots of hard to find albums...

I know some of the ones you mention, but will look for the others! Thanks!

Good to find another 80'S lover!!!

I highly recommend KIng Kobra:Ready to strike, Icon "night of the crime" "between the eyes" Bonfire: Fireworks, Don't touch the light, Jailhouse self titled, Herricane alice "self titled", Killer dwarfs "Big deal" Lilian Axe "poetic justice" Banshee "race against time" Leather wolf "street ready" "endangered species" Steelheart "st" and "tangled in reins" Helix "60 minutes with helix" "walking the razors edge"
The list could go on and on as MSG says... but that should get you started
my friend!

if there is anything you need to know about lesser known but awesome 80's stuff you know now who to ask

Yes, the band that is.

The Euphor · #8 11-20-2006, 09:40 PM

Yep, I know them, with Akira Takasaki.

Anybody knows these guys:

I think their swedish so their sound is more kind of "euro metal" but Tell no Tales was and still is a great album.

**jim777** · #12 11-21-2006, 11:17 AM

Y&T was a decent band as well.

supermau · #13 11-21-2006, 11:40 AM

Pat Travers is a must...

They are from Norway. Ronnie Le Terkrø is still active. Not long ago they released a new TNT album, but now with a new singer and bass player. Same style.

Faster KittenKat is well known. But still thanks for the reminder!

@fettouhi

Frozen Eyes was a band with IA, same title as band name. Recorded in 1988, more or less. Fate was a danish band, formed after Mercyful Fate broke up. I have no idea if they are any good. It's just that I would like to hear them.

Rare stuff, with record companies refusing to let go of the rights...
