DaRoosh65, I' ll look some of those songs up. I' m more into contempory bands but could do with hearing a few more of the classics. Would you reccomend a few bands to hear if I haven' t heard of them.

I am quite massivley into Iron Maiden and know quite a lot of Metallica, Guns n Roses and Faith No More stuff.

I do not really know that much about contemporary bands...as you can see in my listings, I am more into the 80' s and early 90' s rock bands (excluding grunge-style bands).

Maybe some of the others have that information for you...

Well then, any classic bands you think I should check out?

You might like The Darkness actually. Might. I' m not sure, you' ll either love them or find them annoying. They have that ' hair metal' sound to them but are good with it. Heard of them?

The only two that come to mind are:

Aerosmith
Rolling Stones

There are others, but I' m short on time...will try to get back with ya' later.

i already have the greatest rock album. TENACIOUS D!!! my keilbasa... screw her soflty... all good songs.
