Just brilliant - Misses off a couple of my personal faves but most of the recommended food groups are represnted. Great starting point for a Zeppelin initiate.

Pure unadulterated hard rock goodness: groovy as heck and well worth your pennies and ear time.

The 80's may have been the time of hair metal but don't underestimate these guys on how they looked: 99.9% of them could split the wigs of most so called rock bands of today. Welcome wigsplitter No.1!

This'll blow your emo, hitler, fringe into a mohawk to be proud of - one of the few bands keeping punk angry, raw and full of anarchic spirit. This ain't Green Day, girlies, so hold onto your hats!

Those looking for something a little heavier but still choc full of fret shredding prowess can do far worse than this. This crystalises the death metal scene for me. A genre classic.

Back to the eighties for this heavy metal horror tale of backmasking and massive hair! cheesy as hell and perhaps you had to be there at the time but Sami Curr is a god!!!

This album is just spiffing. Grab it, listen to it and prepare to get hooked.

Better than thier original effort in every way - the vocals on here are top notch and everything else follows suite. A great modern rock album that is already a classic for many.

Blackie Lawless has one of the greatest voices in rock ever, period. I love the band so it's hard to choose a fave so here's thier first sleaze-fest that should set you on the path to righteousness.

Another I can't decide between two albums moment so here be the best of Skid Row - Hair metal and beyond, for true fans this misses of some obvious songs like 'in a darkened room' but still a good CD

A skull busting album full of heavy dome pounding tracks from begining to end - the follow up to this isn't for me and just gets lost in the crowd but this had something special, no denying it.

Heavy, fast, digital, punk nuttiness, shame these guys have split 'cause the only way was up as far as I could see.
