Damned Wicked Child !! You only grew hair on you balls in the late 90's. I'm not picking at your age, but congratulating you. You named some kick-ass releases here. It is great to see someone who really wasn't around when this stuff came out, enjoying it. The 80's wasn't just Bon Jovi and Poison and you realize it (can't say "Wanted Dead or Alive" doesn't rock though.) Maybe you should check out a couple of German bands. Heard Accept's Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart and Russian Roulette and the Scorpions Blackout, Love at First Sting and Savage Amusement ?
I was familiar with Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Van-Halen and early Rush when I was a teen, though it was before my time, but I didn't have such a big catalog of "old" metal to choose from back then.
