Anyone remember Black-n-Blue with "Hold on to Eighteen" and Britney Fox with with "Girl's School" and "Long way to love"...awesome, still have the casettes around here somewhere

There are those that do and those that don't. Those that didn't see what those that did had done and wish they had especially when "She looked so F#*kin GOOD"
My idea of great band that never really made it are Death Angel, Flotsom And Jetsom, Overkill, and Testament.
Pride and Glory - would have loved Zakk Wylde to continue with this project. BLS is good but his biker gang look is a bit tired and over-the-top.

...a lot of those are still active today, but I think it's a safe bet to say they're not going to enter Billboards top 10 anytime soon...

Bob I must have lived a sheltered life because I have never heard of one of those bands but that's just me. There's a lot of bands out there that we just don't know about, they work their arses off and never get recognized and it's a shame.

Of all the ones I listed, the one that REALLY deserved it the most was Savatage...quite frankly, Criss Oliva was the best fucking guitarist since Randy Rhoads and Yngwie, PERIOD. He managed to combine the styles of Eddie's and Randy's playing while keeping it METAL - straight ahead, slick, and he was simply an awe-inspiring guitarist. The cool thing about him was that he could have easily done anything...Malmsteen shred would have been simplicity itself for him (and he did at times dabble with it, but not very often), yet he restrained himself and was more concerned about how GOOD the solo was, not necessarily showboating (and don't get me wrong, I love Yngwie, but let's face it, he's a show-off).Originally posted by DLRDUDE
Were you to try out anything I suggested, my pick would be Savatage for sure...but after Criss' death, it's not worth listening to, virtually a Broadway parody act (and I mean that honestly...it's rather pathetic).
Albums in particular:
"Sirens"
"The Dungeons Are Calling"
"Hall of the Mountain King"
"Gutter Ballet"
"Streets"
"Edge of Thorns"
All available on Atlantic, yeah, but out of print for the most part...Sirens and Dungeons are readily available since they were reissued a few years back on Metal Blade...easy to find a ton of shit to download, if that's your thing...eBay will pass copies of those CDs for $2 a pop, usually.
I can't recommend Savatage 1983/1993 highly enough. But avoid anything later than that like the plague...trust me.
Savatage sounded familiar to me. Did they have anything resembling a hit, or a video, Bueno Bob?
Your write-up certainly has me intrigued so I may track some their stuff down.

I saw Dexy's Midnight Runner's as the next Zeppelin, but I may have been wrong about that...

'Edge of Thorns' by Savatage! one of the all-time best ever heavy rock albums!
Gutter Ballet and Streets are definitely up there too.
Motorhead should have torn America a new arse.
Instead they are a cult band.

Sitting on a park bench!
Thanks, Bueno. I tracked down the Savatage website where they had some song samples. From what I've listened to I prefer the older stuff you suggested, on Sirens and Dungeons, over the slightly newer stuff nosuchluck is raving about. However, the samples for those were mostly ballads and I suspect the full albums have heavier stuff as well. Very cool and will definitely be checking them out at the music stores in town.

The Fleshtones have been great since 1977. Too bad they have almost changed labels for each release... It's a goddamn puzzle to gather their whole discography - even to find one single record...
Good time music, cheeky lyrics, smart musicians... "The greatest band that never really made it" IMO.

Kings X never got the kind of recognition they deserved.
other bands that come to mind are
Badlands
Budgie
Fates Warning (though prog rock bands shouldn't count - none of them got the recognition they deserved)
UK (largely forgotten pioneers of prog)
Kings of the Sun
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction
The Almighty
Badlands

among many many more.....
Stay Frosty, muthas!
Very much so. Most of the earlier stuff was straight ahead metal, but they're best known for the lighter fare at this point, for the most part. They had videos (that I known of) on MTV with "24 Hours Ago", "Hall of the Mountain King", "When the Crowds Are Gone", "Gutter Ballet", "Edge of Thorns" and "Sleep" - that's what I'm actually AWARE of, however, of course, MTV didn't play them very often...hardly at all...Originally posted by m_dixon1984

Amen dude. If anyone doesn't have this disc, you must buy it. It holds its ground against anything Skynyrd or the Allman's have ever done.Originally posted by m_dixon1984

Pride and Glory huh, I'll have to check it out. I'm a huge Skynyrd fan and I like The Allman Bros. (especially "Sweet Melissa") When you associate a song with a face it means so much more:p

Living Colour, Would've been nice to see them become huge. One of the best band's to be influenced by CVH.
Still waiting for a relevant Browns Team

They had a following and got airplay, but they were never huge! There's more talent in that band then there are in 5 bands put together in the Top 10 right now.Originally posted by DLRDUDE

Maybe where you were from bro but back in the early 90's they got a lot of air play Cult of personality.
What the heck happened to the Bulletboys. Awesome band. Smooth up in ya!

Sorry, you won't get MP3s from me. Copy the WMAs and convert them yourself. I won't pass on anything but lossless music files. I would have FLAC'd them but didn't have the time to set it up. Download may be a little slow since the bandwidth is being split with some torrents I'm seeding but if you've got a high-speed conection you should get everything in a few hours.

Dude, we need to talk. You sound pretty fucking cool. Im torrenting right now myself and you seem to know a lot about computers. I like lossless, but I LOVE MP3. and i hate WMA or basically anything running on or related to the win platform. Linux warrior forever!
