The Most Under-rated Band from the 80's and up...

[Infernal Death]

Well under-rated doesn't mean unknown, does it ? I kinda agree with wasp mentioned here. Yes they are well-known but their name doesn't pop up too often when talking about 80's bands, at least not like other bands.

I'd say a little-known Welsh band called :


Samurai.



And of course, my favourite band of all time, who kind of missed the boat when their compatriots Def Leppard, Maiden etc became huge, and have always been sneered at as slightly second-division. I'm talking about the mighty:



SAXON!!!!!

Well if we ALL know who they are..they can't be that "under-ratted' right!

How many studio albums do they have..and do you own them all, like I do.

Doug Scarrat called me three times to scrounge me out of my Wolfgang..fucker

[horns666]

Van Halen!!!

Well, only every one of the 18 original releases, plus the 6 official live LPs, the 1 re-recorded double, but only one of the compilations. I guess if Biff releases a record of his farts, I'll be buying it without question!

And I've yet to see them play a shit show, they ALWAYS put a smile on my face and send a chill down my spine when they launch into some of their classics. Still plodding along, recording and releasing new material, and still playing to declining numbers, smaller venues, and cancelling tiny US tours. Yep, definitely under-rated, Biff & Co should be treated as Rock Royalty, not have the piss taken out of them by Harvey Fucking Goldsmith and Channel 4 TV.

"Van Halen"

I was joking around with my brother, as he just bought tix for 175$ to their show in Cgy. What if they just went onstage and played "Van Halen III" and left.

King's X was the first that came to mind. One that hasn't already been mentioned: Badlands

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

i would have to say X was under the radar in the 80's.

[Cygnus X1]

The guy I got my Model 88 was a huge X fan...I never did listen much. I'm just now getting into Rush, and Scorpions. I tend to run a little late.

Hell yeah!!!!

I was just headbanging to The Eagle Has Landed this weekend.

[Cygnus X1]

Huh. I have like 5 Saxon albums I have never listened to. LP's. Is it worth getting my turntable fixed for? I like the cover art.

VERY good man!!!

OK, then..you go boyeeee..have a cigar!!!

Doug Scarrat gave me a "demo" of instrumentals he did called..well there's no name on it..But it's called "Madogs and Englishmen"..I don't know if it was ever released...it's good!

He was playing a cheaper banged up gold Wolfgang special..I told him I have a Purple see-through Archtop..the expensive one w/D-tuna..he called me three times wanting to swap..no money..just swap.

Maybe he thought I was just some gay fanboy that would do it..I love 'em..but fuck that!!!
