@simonmoon +1 for Riverside. I play them a lot... You might give RPWL a try if you haven't heard them.
I'm old enough that I was around when some of the great albums were released. I spent most of my money on music. Van Halen debut is probably tops. Also Ted Nugent's early albums, first four Aerosmith albums, Judas Priest, UFO, Nazareth.
Lots more not listed.
