There was good music that came out of the 80's? Hmmm, news to me. [Coffee]

Tooth-n-Nail records, anyone? The Shrapnel label had some very cool stuff.

I used to listen to a few artists from Tooth & Nail. I've been on a melodeath and metalcore kick lately.

For their first album, I would agree. "Metal Magic" is about as glam as you can get. But when Cowboys from Hell dropped they were definitely real metal.

Don't forget Testament

Man Testament is where it's at. I found them about 20 years after they had become a band and baffled that I never knew they existed.

Metal has so many sub-genres you just barely scratched the surface... I love me some Viking Metal (also fits into doom metal) like Amon Amarth, and I actually like it, but there's a lot of Symphonic Metal (Nightwish) that's pretty good.

As far as the 80's go, I agree with the sentiment that some of the "lighter" stuff shouldn't be classified as metal. I grew up listening to Dio, Motley Crue (I guess metal), Def Leopard, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Sabbath, Pantera, and 80's Metallica.

This afternoon I think Robin Trower is on tap followed up by the Who.[Muaha]

Sweet baby Jesus, I was trying to be discrete!

How the f did I forget Viking metal? Amon Amarth is probably my favorite band.

Back in the day I liked Ozzy, AC/DC, and Motley Crue. Now about as crazy as I get is Alice Cooper, his old stuff to the most resent releases.

Oh almost forgot about Alice Cooper! He's awesome... I especially loved his history lesson in Wayne's World:
