Wow, talk about flashback.

Too bad I don't have my old Def Leppard (Pyromania), Metallica (Kill 'em all BABY!), Saga, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue LPs, since I've started to go back to LPs. You'd never guess my listening background since most of my music now is based around R&B/Neo Soul.

I also graduated in '85 and remember seeing some of Randy's recommended bands live, such as:
Metallica/Motorhead at the Stone
Quiet Riot
Motley Crue
Dokken
YNT
Dio (Post Black Sabbath)
