LOL, R2K, I should have known in all the songs you listed that Pantera was somewhere on the list! But there were so many , that I skimmed through it and must have missed Dimebag Darrell and company. But Sepultura (up to "Roots") is a band similar to Pantera (IMO) and a great one in their own right. But you already know this, right?
Oh yea.. I'm familiar with Sepultura..was never that big of a fan of theirs. Can't deny they have some impressive material, but they are lower on my list then back in the day.. My tastes actually lean more towards progressive metal and pure metal these days. When I was younger I listened to some "death metal": Celtic Frost Slayer Venom Napalm Death Mercyful Fate etc, etc.. but as I have mellowed, I find the grinding, gloomy death metal doesnt hold as much appeal for me anymore. You might even notice that i didn't list any Metal-claw even tho I consider their first 3 albums as some of the great classics of metal. Consider that my boycott of their attitude and lack of original songs since they sold out.. as for the list length, I was gonna stick to just my first few posts, but someone asked for more(Meowgli)...and I couldn't resist. Even then, I left some really great songs off my lists, it's a b**** being a big music freak..as I'm sure you know. btw, great calls on the Southern Rock, No Worries.. especially Fall of the Peacemakers. in that vein, let me add one more song and I'm done... Green Grass and High Tides----Outlaws
Remember. You asked for it. I take no responsibility for the "quality" of these obscure songs, I just own the albums. Not so great now, but I used to like them back in the day. Lillian Axe-Picture Perfect Savatage-In The Hall Of The Mountain King Pretty Boy Floyd-Rock N Roll Outlaws Nitro-Freight Train Lita Ford-Dancin On The Edge Chrissy Steele-Armed And Dangerous Y&T-Contagoius Vinnie Vincent Invasion-Let Freedom Rock White Lion-Wait Alice In Chains-Man In The Box Slaughter-Up All Night Tyketto-Burning Down inside Scorpions-Rock You Like A Hurricane Shotgun Messiah-Shout It Out Sweet FA-Stick To Your Guns Melidian-Lost In The Wild Loudness-Crazy Nights Kik Tracee-No Rules Krokus-Screaming In The Night Helix-No Rest For The Wicked Britney Fox-Girlschool Firehouse-All She Wrote Craaft-Jane Bang Tango-Someone Like You and just for you...... Lynch Mob-Wicked Sensation I could go on but I am feeling really old right now.
oh man! I thought I was the only one that remembered Kik Tracee.I used to have the Ep cassette they were handing out at the clubs before they got their deal. They really sucked! Thanks guys, yall reminded me of a few bands that i had long since forgotten. If we took all the songs that are in this thread, we could restart Z Rock.( anyone remember ZRock from back in the glory days?) or am I dating myself? That was the best radio station EVER!.. *sniff sniff* memories... good calls by all (except for the V V invasion) god, they sucked too..
I remember Z-Rock...that was 106.9, right? I remember getting in my car after school, senior year, and it was on some Christian station. (at the change of the station, not at the idea of listening to a Christian station)
mas: Danger Danger - Still Kickin' Danger Danger - Shot of Love Danger Danger - Goin' Goin' Gone Rockets2K and Freak, these three songs should be right up your alley.
I remember that. What a jolt that was -- I listened for about 30 minutes, thinking it was an elaborate joke. This whole, beautiful thread is making me miss my car stereo. It wasn't stolen, but it was irreparably messed up by a ROOKIE thief right before Xmas. Lame guy (gal?) only got a chunk of plastic and an empty Beck CD case.
Too much Rock here for my taste. My list: LL Cool J - Doin It Mase - Tell Me What You Want Method Man/Redman - Da Rockwilder Tupac - Dear Mama P. Diddy - I need a Girl (part II)
they were ok...I liked your first list MUCh better...great calls on damn near all of em.. RM95...yea..that was the one, I believe they were based out of Dallas..but they grew to be nationwide before the grunge explosion put an effective end to that. They actually were on an AM station for awhile when they first came out I believe...anyone else remember that? or am I imagining that? I went and checked this afternoon...ZRock is still around..they are attempting a comeback...check this out...http://www.ufk.8m.com/zrock.html I love the internet and streaming radio..if they can get it back together...
True that. I remember cranking my pathetic AM-only radio in my battleship Delta 88, catching the mandatory Metallica: The Thing That Could Not Be!
"Gangster of Love" - Joe Walsh "Sledgehammer" - Peter Gabriel "Soul Sacrifice" - Santana "Saved by Zero" - The Fixx "Smokin" -(I'm drawing a blank here and I need to leave to watch the game.) (A little help, please.)
Hrm. I suppose if I *had* to, I could listen to Edgar Winter or George Thorogood without wanting to puncture my own eardrums to stop the pain. Other than that... Elvis is right. Foghat's 'Slow Ride' is the world's rokkinest song by the criteria of the OP.
LOL! Duh! Now I know im going brain-dead for me to have forgotten to include any Foghat in my lists! Oh my.. Slow Ride Fool For the City I Just WAnt To Make Love To You and for good measure..one more I cant believe I forgot.. Burning Heart---Vandenberg
"Dead Man's Party" - Oingo Boingo A lot of Foo Fighters stuff qualifies. "Monkey Wrench," "My Poor Brain," "Wind Up," "I'll Stick Around," among others.
They were bluesy hard rock bands. I mainly put LC on there for comedic value, but Bob Rock produced one of their CDs in the early 90s that was decent, I believe. Four Horsemen actually had a pretty good album out in '91 which Rick Rubin produced, "Nobody Said it was Easy". They probably would've had some success but they didn't look like Trixter. Allmusic.com has better info on those two. I had the Kik Tracee tape. "No Rules" was good. Never actually heard Danger Danger.
Danger Danger was cool Monkey Business Coming Home (still kickass!) I Still Think About You and the "classics" Naughty Naughty One Step From Paradise.
Freak, that's funny you put it that way..I asked a fellow music freak friend if he remembered LC.. his response.."What a joke!" scary thing about the comparison with Trixter...I kinda liked them..what was their big hit? "Give it to Me Good"? had a video of them riding dirt bikes all over the place? Scary, agreed..Danger Danger had a silly name...but they were cool..
