80s Metalheads...sleeper picks

Outside of Ozzy, Metallica, Ac/Dc, etc....any forgotten classics from this era? Picked up some Krokus, early Scorpions, Accept, early Def Lep, etc.....

Budgie. From Wales. One of the original HM bands. Very underrated. Covered by Metallica, Soundgarden, and others. Check 'em out.

Blues Metal-Badlands-Cinderella-Tora Tora
Euro/Prog Metal-House of Lords-Steelheart-TNT
Glam Metal-Faster Pussycat-Vinnie Vincent Invasion-Y&T
Pop Metal-Lillian Axe-Mr.Big-Saraya
Power Metal-Armored Saint-Grim Reaper-Metal Church
Of the 15 bands I mentioned Badlands-Mr.Big and Saraya would probably be the best starting point for the "Classic Rock" only fans.

Vinnie Vincent invasion, both albums for sure

Maybe more 90's but fit the genre well I think are:
1- the first Brides of Destruction album (band members include Nikki Sixx and Tracy Guns)
2- both albums by Beautiful Creatures, whose singer is the guy from Bang Tango

Bigsam2-Is the debut Brides of Destruction easily available? Does Tracy Guns have long solos on this recording?

Brides of Destruction is just ok, no big deal, imo. Tracii's solos are good, but I prefer them on the last L.A. Guns cd with him on it, 'Waking the Dead.'
