I thought of another...

Motley Crue - Rodeo!

Don't know when it was done, sounds like somewhere between Theater Of Pain and Girls Girls Girls but it is GREAT! Obviously wasn't used coz they didn't want another ballad on the album.

thats awesome that you mentioned that song. thats my favorite crue song with neil on vocals. its one of their best ballads and i can't believe they never used it for an official album and its relegated to bonus track

Heaven - "Knocking on Heaven's Door." The best cover I have heard of the song.
Any song with Tony Martin singing on Misha Calvin's "Evolution I"
Angel Dust - "Bleed"
Leatherwolf - "Behind the Gun"
Dio - "Gypsy" (popular metal artist/band but not a big "hit." Great song though.

[Majesty]

Witchfynde - I´d Rather Go Wild
H-Bomb - Chasseur du frime
Witchkiller - Penance for past sins
Witch Cross - Night flight to tokyo
Tröjan - Hypnotized

I´m having trouble coming up with more since some of you guys pretty much covered the best ones.

A funny thing is that Tröjan means "the sweater" in swedish. Adding hose umlauts doesn´t always work

Well, in Dutch that would be "sweaters"
(if the "ö" is pronounced like the "u" in Dutch)
I allways am suprised how close in fact Dutch and swedish sound alike(got some Swedish friends). In writing anyway, if they start talking it sounds mostly like Chinese !!

 

[username345]

Absolutely amazing song. The vocals on that song are among the best ever recorded in the 80s metal scene. The singer for Sortilege was among the finest singers in metal. The harmonies in particular are insane. Best song Queensryche never recorded.

I've just fallen in love with Sortilège.

I've just fallen in love with Sortilège.

Glad to hear.

I had only recently heard of them. A friend said "oh, you're a big Queensryche fan, ever heard of Sortilege?" Which I obviously hadn't. They really are a hidden gem to
