R9G6,
Hey Buddy, well, I'm so impressed in your rock choices you have a lot of personality in your music, I like that extremely keep posting.
Hi matey, you mentioned your 1985 experience, and then evoked some memories when I was around 18 and most of my friends then we're growing long hair and mullets (hehe), How can we forget Metallica's trapped under ice, fade to black, Orion, and say master of the puppets. Then Iron Maiden's running free, burning ambition, and then to me their finest album Killers with wrath child and prodigal son, to name a few. We cud also touch base on Judas Priest and a bit softer like Scorpions. There was so mch happening back n the 80's, my generation X, which I belong to really pissed of baby boomers, as we were moving boundaries. 80's of hard rock mixed with the eccentric pop songs, such contrasts.

Cheers friend, like Arnie Schwartzeneger says : I'll be back.
