Don't mind Def Leppard..their 'Hysteria' album was good but all the others have been poor.
Does anyone remember the Steve Vai album called Passion And Warfare? That was an amazing album. He was definately one of THE best guitarists of his era.
Thought the Van Halen album OU812 was a cracker as well!
I heard it on this forum that Jane McDonald has a new album out.
Cant beat a bit of Green Day.....or you could even Youtube for hayseed dixies (think thats their name)....country yee haa takes of a lot of popular songs, including Green days Holiday.
I have something right up your street. Have a look for a band called
a na lc un t put the letters together. Might be a bit too hardcore for you
But seriously have you listened to Black Tide, they are a young american metal band, touring with Bullet For My Valentine, or In Flames they are great.
