70s rock/80s rock & glam suggestions

[Guest]

Hi Guys!

Okay. I would like your help here, if you'd be so kind. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Poor Keith has no real music collection of his own and I'd like to get him a nice starter collection here.
He really enjoys 70s classic rock, 80s glam metal, and 80s rock.
He likes Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Def Leppard, and Skid Row for example. I already have a ton of Skid Row though (love them). He likes REO Speedwagon. Heh. Oh, and Styx.
So stuff along those lines would be cool.
Suggestions? What are your favorties?
Thanks! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

New:

Silvertide (get this CD...you/he will NOT be disappointed. Total throwback to 70's hard rock band)

Supagroup (AC/DC reborn...get the CD entitled "Supagroup")

Brand New Sin (throwback hard rock from Syracuse. GREAT band.)

Hope that helps.

Oh, and get him some Cult, too.

Wow! April Wine. Damn Scott, I'm impressed! I had no idea those cats reached that far south. April Wine was the first concert I can remember going to - 1977 on the Forever For Now tour.

Au Contraire - Gary Ritchrath is one of the best - and most underrated - guitarists ever. True they did a few too many "girlie songs", but they've had plenty of rockers like Riding The Storm Out (live version from You Can Tuna Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish - the studio version had the old singer on it and he just ain't got the rock like Cronin did [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

Another one to get is Journey: Escape (Wheel in the Sky, Lights, Lovin Touchin Squeezin, Who's Crying Now, Don't Stop, Any Way You Want It, etc)

KISS: Alive II [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
Santana: Greatest Hits (Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va, plus some recent stuff (doesn't have Smooth, though), and stuff I never knew they did.
Billy Joel (Piano Man, Still Rock And Roll To Me, It's My Life (or whatever - theme song to Bosom Buddies [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

[/ QUOTE ] The live video of "Just Between You and Me" got a lot of play in the early MTV years. I really dug that dude's guitar tone.

Yeah April Wine are known even here in the Southern US (but not by many). Never had an album but I liked what they had on the radio and MTV at the time (Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, If You See Kay - or when spelled phonetically: F.U.C.... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])

Nazareth: Hair Of The Dog
Meat Loaf: Bat Out Of Hell - laugh if you want, that album was not bad.
