First I just wanna mention Danger Danger. Screw it! is one of my favorite albums, and Andy is one damn talented guitarplayer. There ain´t no business like monkey business...

Other bands from the mid/late 80s...some are VERY forgotten and some are just not famous anymore:
Winger
Vixen
Nitro
Tuff
Enuff z´nuff
Britny Fox
Cinderella
Alien
Bang Tango
Autograph
Mr.Big
Faster pussycat
Extreme

...and the list goes on and on [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I actually have albums of every single band mentioned in this topic, with just one or two exceptions...some are just terrible, but some are extremely good.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please don't tell me you've just mentioned Enuff Z'Nuff in the same post as Extreme, Mr.Big, Winger, and Vixen...

They are solely responsible for the loss of approximately an hour of my life that I will never get back. They opened for George Lynch and Michael Schenker at the HOB Friday and Saturday night. They were utterly horrible!

Re: The Forgotten Bands

I gotta add Stormwitch. They were from Germany and played similar music as Helloween. They had some great songs like "Ravenlord". [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] Worth a listen if you can find mp3 anywhere.
