Background: I'm a child of the 60's. I grew up listening to James Taylor, Carley Simon, The Righteous Brothers, Bob Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkle. After being shipped off to Viet Nam in 69, I came back a Country and Western fan and remained so almost to the current day. Johnny Cash and George Jones stick out in my mind the most from that period. The Hair bands of the whatever era that was made me want to puke. To this day I still do not own an album by Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, or Van Halen. I admit I'm left high and dry by any man who has to look like a woman to sing. Just a little over a year ago I decided to see what I had been missing all my life. For the last 18 months I have been sampling as much rock/hard rock/metal/heavy metal as I can find. Some of it is very good, some of it I can live without ever hearing again.
So anyway, I jumped into the rock scene with no preconceived ideas of what is supposed to be good or bad (except for the obvious exception of hair bands). This, without further ado, is my list.
