Kick Ass Rock Tunes That Few People Know About

[johngaltshrugged]

I'm going to put a few real rock songs here that most people are unaware of but totally kick ass.
Please put your picks up here but they better be shredders or you will be called a girl & told to hand in your man card.
I'm talking guitars, drums, bass lyrics, singing- the whole deal

First up we have Corrosion of Conformity with Albatross

 

[Anomalism]

Rock bands have the edgiest names.

Never Surrsnder- Corey Hart. Wise words indeed.

Your idea of kick ass tunes is VASTLY different than mine.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to hand in your man card if you can't do better than that

You can give an example but see shockedcanadian's post for how it's not done

Here's something acceptable

Its about the lyrics not the screaming. Ditto for "Wont back down" by Tom Petty. Power chords and yelling don't reasonate as much with me as much as lyrics do.

So you like top 40 soft rock.
To each their own.
I like Petty pretty good but he's never going to make my greatest lists.

This is for kick ass hard rock/metal tunes that people don't know well.

Something like this

How about some Black Oak Arkansas (music starts about 1:50)

That's more like it. Not exactly my idea of hard rock really but a good song with a. great message.
Finally someone gets it.

Of course, this is on a curve. You're competing against Cory Hart & Warren Zevon.
So far, you're undefeated with 1st round knockouts.

There are more than a few Van Halen
songs most people probably haven't heard
like this one.

 

[the other mike]

Y & T is a relatively unknown '80s hair metal band' ....upbeat like Motley, Dokken etc.....

The singer has a unique voice like Vince Neil and guys like that.

You may like a band called Icon if you never heard them.
Some other 'obscure' 80s metal bands --
Armored Saint
Racer X
Obsession
