Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

[CureTheSane]

So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band.
So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away.
A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on.

To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway.

So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked.
Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind.
So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go.

Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums)
But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them.

Aldo Nova
Badlands
Baby Tango
Baton Rouge
Black N Blue
Britney Fox
BulletBoys
DAD
Giant
Hanoi Rocks
Hardline
Jetboy
King Kobra
Kingdom Come
Lillian Axe
Lizzy Borden
Loudness
Love Hate
Quireboys
Saigon Kick
Santa Cruz
Shotgun Messiah
SleezeBeez
SouthGang
Tiger Tailz

Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut.

Aldo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shake Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though

Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more.

For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it 

Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album.

So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill.

In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again.

I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

You should give Roadhouse a listen if you havent already. They don't have a bad album in their discography.

Some great spelling mistakes in here. I really appreciated that. ;}

Haha, yeah, some typos, some auto correct.

Probs should have proof read.

I constantly hit 8 instead of I

quite a few bands on that list I don't rate that highly actually.

The essentials would be :

Bang Tango - debut

Baton rouge - debut

Giant - first 2

Hardline with schon

Love/Hate - Blackout 

All Vain albums

Aldo Nova (Blood on the bricks is essential)
Badlands (ok but not essential for me)
Baby Tango (many will say Psycho cafe is essential by Dancin on coals is by far my fave)
Baton Rouge (defo the debut)
Black N Blue (see Badlands)
Britney Fox (first three albums all worth a listen, but Boys in heat and Bite down hard are the better two)
BulletBoys (First three albums)
DAD (No fuel left for the pilgrims is essential followed by Riskin it all)
Giant (First album is a monster and second album is great but not as good)
Hanoi Rocks (better off with just a Best of. Some great tracks, but some "meh" as well on every album)
Hardline (Debut is essential)
Jetboy (never heard more than a song or two)
King Kobra (see Badlands)
Kingdom Come (see Balands)
Lillian Axe (only album I really liked was Poetic justice)
Lizzy Borden (much the same as Hanoi Rocks)
Loudness (I own one album by them and remember nothing about it)
Love Hate (first two albums are great. Lets Rumble is pretty cool too)
Quireboys (I like most of their stuff but only the debut is essential)
Saigon Kick (see Loudness)
Santa Cruz (I love a lot of their stuff. Wasnt so keen on last two albums tho)
Shotgun Messiah (ok sleaze on early material but then turned into a horrible industrial band)
SleezeBeez (well worth checking out, especially Powertool if you like Def Lep)
SouthGang (Both albums are fantastic)
Tiger Tailz (An ever changing band sound wise. Really like everything up to and including Wazbones after that is hit or miss)
TNT (see Badlands)
Vain (only listen to No respect, ignore everything else as it is utter shit)
White Tiger (never listened to)
