Aldo Nova - Lay Your Love On Me
Testament - Electric Crown
Arcade - Screamin' S.O.S
Winger - Down Incognito

Right on brother!!!

Aldo Nova is fantastic, definitely one of my favorite "memory-lane" bands.

Arcade -- YEEEEESSSSS! I wish Pearcy would have kept that band going during his "I'm-with-Ratt-psych-no-I'm-not!" phases. I have both albums by this band and actually got to see them once ... fantastic stuff.

WINGER -- I'm so happy someone else recognizes the genius behind "Pull" - their best album IMHO.

Amazing, all these great responses and no one mentioned Love/Hate - Blackout In The Red Room.
