Good old-fashioned, no-nonsense, rocking 'metal'!

[andy400]

As this forum is a great way of finding awesome tracks a PHer might have missed during his music-loving career, I thought I'd mention what I consider as traditional 'heavy metal'. Not thrash, speed, grunge, death, goth, glam or any other sub-section of the genre (not that there's anything wrong with these, I hasten to add!), but traditional hard rock at it's best. The sort of music that has you involuntarily reaching for the air guitar whilst striking a mad wide-legged axeman stance, and makes you nod your head like a broken parcel-shelf ornament on a very bumpy road. There's a hugely long list in my collection, but some that deserve a mention:

• Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne (Randy Rhoads on guitar - hell yes!)

• And The Bands Played On - Saxon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYHe-igERv8 

• Breaking The Law - Judas Priest

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYn5hxeFt10 

• Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3ont_ub2S4&feature=related 

• Whole Lotta Love - you know who!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN-_up5dSW0 

• Dr Rock - Motorhead ("We are Motorhead. We play rock 'n' roll." Yes, Lemmy. Yes you do.)

Tell me yours. If there's any new 'uns for me - I'll hunt them down and by God, I'll rock to them!!

Cos if I tried to mention them all, I'd be typing all day and my fingers would be worn to bloody stumps! (Although clearly I should have mentioned AC/DC as masters of the genre....).

Denim and Leather

Fantastic anthemic rock!

Every time I hear it, it takes me back to being a teenager with a leather jacket and too much hair and makes me think of going to rock gigs at a venue I can't remember the name of, near Buckley in N.Wales. Top times.

We Are the Road Crew - Motorhead
Paradise City - Guns 'n Roses

My boss went to see many bands in the 70's, but he said that Uriah Heep were louder than just about everyone else (except Budgie apparently)
