My HS years were fun with all the hairband music and the continued greats of the likes of Rush, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Ozzy, Zeppelin, Judas Priest etc...THen growing up near DC had the DC Go-Go vibe which was thriving.
As a bass player....this was fun to play. These guys just retired.
Love this band:

Wayy cool Junior!
What about Dokken, Bulletboys, winger (she’s only 17!), warrant, ugly kid Joe, etc?
Was never a priest guy or rush, a band like Jimmy buffett where you idolize them or could care less. Ozzy, Alice copper, kiss, scorpions wind of change. Can’t include zeppelin in that crowd though. Different cohort than all except Ozzy w Aanbath from War Pigs to Changes to Paranoid.
You never hit the 9:30 club? That was my spot in the early 2000s.

I added Dokken and Kix, while you replied....Yep...spent a bunch of time at 930, but late very late 80's, early 90's. Yes big Winger fan, Night Ranger, White Snake......Tawny Kitaen (RIP) on the hood of the Jaguar.
I's a huge Rush fan...as a musician by heart, Geddy and Neil where probably the best at their craft. Not to mention tryin to play their music was damned near impossible to cover....just silly talent.

This is a thing of beauty....fast forward to the 2:00 minute mark and you will recognize the original song:

Tawny, like Stephanie Seymour, is even hotter because she kicked the s**t out of her husband, former all str lefty for the Mariners and Angels named chick Finley. (And Axl Rose was broken in half by super super sexy Seymour!)
My dad took me to some show’s pre middle school. This song still melancholy about my dad because he sat through a Badlands, Great White & Tesla show with me at Darien Lake (second tier amusement park in WNY) and on the drive back was commenting, “you know that last band was pretty good” (tesla) and liked this song
He also liked Cinderella who has a little country rock in them, but thought winger and bulletboys sucked anal beads. I love me some Smooth Up In Ya myself however.

I’m cool w Maiden. My favorite of theirs was called Flight of Icarus.
Those guys were classically trained (like Flavor Flav believe it or not)

Somehow we’re head banking and yet I failed to mention Anthrax, my favorite of that headbangers ball scene

Yeah that was like a 2yr stretch in elementary school for me where I had a Jean jacket I got my mother to see all these hard rock patches all over. That piece was sweet! Wore it for my first kiss at 4H summer camp outside the barn with the dance while the song playing was….Pour Some Sugar On Me! As if the gods knew the type of music that scratch and dent, morally ambiguous girls would be dancing for me and others later in life for dollars at the club! (Kidding on the adult clubs I don’t love those but have been to just share and when I do go I don’t sit in the corner with a rain jacket on. In fact I once may have got into a rainmaking contest with a known rapper at one in Atlanta, drunk with a client who was egging me on to not lose and never quit. Gotta be in it to win it!
Sounds like we are like ten ish years apart. But I love so much. Most of the bands you mentioned, hip hop, euro trash new wave 80s music. Basically anything but pop, country after 1980 or so and death metal that’s little more than drums, bass and death.

Bowie could still slap a good song together late in life.
Was doing a Bowie jam sesh this am w the boy and rotation came to this I heard once or twice. Bit of a reflection on life sort of like Kurt Vonnegut’s last book reflecting on his life and brother, Timequake, which is flat out depressing.
