I`m agreeing with Night Ranger. Especially the great guitar wizardry of Brad Gillis and the finger tapping, vibrato style of Jeff Watson were and are a great guitar duo. I also think Y&T put out some solid record`s in the early and mid 80`s. Dave Meniketti is a great vocalist who can hit any high note and is not to shabby on the guitar either. Another great unknown band fron the 80`s was a band called Autograph. Some of you may not know them but they wrote some real catchy songs and had their own unique rock-metal-pop sound. Steve Lynch their guitar player is also worthy of some praise and highly underrated. I also mention Adrian Vandenberg`s self titled album. This album is full of Adrian`s great blues riffs and solo`s as well as some great drumming by Jos Zoomer. His two follow ups ' Heading For a Storm' and ' Alibi ' had their moments as well despite his mediocre songwriting in spots.


Indeed a good topic,
Fan of 1982
