Ratt? Jeez, haven't listened to them since high school.(late 1980's) Good stuff though. One of the best "hair metal" bands ever.

Also like Skid Row. One of the best tracks ever:



Makes me laugh at what people call "metal" these days. Pure garbage if you ask me. This is real metal. ^^^

I have a pretty eclectic collection of music. I like classic rock. In high school I liked Alan Parsons and Styx. If I'm in a really strange mood I turn on some old Ozzy and Metallica. I guess I've mellowed in my age and taken a completely different turn in music. I was raised on Irish and Celtic music so now I like things like Enya and Loreena Mckennit. I also like filk so Heather Alexander and Julia Ecklar. I recently have become a fan of this Celtic band with a strong rock undertones called Coyote Run. ( They have this little, red-haired spitfire of a drummer and she idolizes Neil Peart. She can really tear up a drum solo! )They play a lot of the Ren Faires around here and put on a great show. I also LOVE Nightwish. I'm not sure how you'd describe them!

No argument here.

Funny you should say "grandpa". I became one 4 years ago at the age of 36.

This is WAAAAYY before my time, but I like it. I guess it's the "okie" blood in me. My grandparents migrated from Oklahoma to Bakersfield, CA. Parents raised in Bakersfield and I was born there.

Excellent^^^

But, back to ROCK! One of favorite bands/tracks of the 90's, and of the past 30 years. This is in my top 5 of all time: (besides Pink Floyd, this has the best solo ever to me!) I guess it has special meaning for me. I watched a friend who was like a brother kill himself slowly after I turned myself the other direction. He "kept going" and met an early end. The song's lyrics say it all. RIP my friend, my 'brother' Andrew Weber. 1970-1994. Another victim of the meth epidemic. He had a big heart full of big pain. In the end, his heart couldn't take it.
