  1. To be honest, you're going to have to be very specific about what genre he likes. There are *thousands* of genres that fit under "hard rock" and it would be impossible to form an entire CD that he would like. You'd either end up picking alot of 1 hit wonders or mainstream music that he'll hate, or more underground music that he's never heard of. Putting mainstream music in the CD could even offend him if he's music crazy like I am. I'll keep this tab open and update it every few minutes. Could you list even 1 band that he likes so I can get an idea of what he likes? 1 song even? Honest selections that might help you: - ACDC - Metallica - Pantera - Guns n Roses - Avenged Sevenfold (City of Evil, and Self Titled Album only trust me) - Slipknot (Subliminal Verses Volume 3)
  2. breed 77 - worlds on fire anything by the band : A (A is their full name) pos some stuff by: HIM
  3. look through his collection and find all the songs that are covers from your era, you should find heaps. Make a cd of the originals. Not covers but AC DC would be a start for what you are trying to do

  6. The 80's are often overlooked as a good decade for music. As far as music goes, the 80's were the decade for styles such as synth pop, new wave, and hair metal. Rock music, however, was sort of getting weak. A lot of rock bands who were around and popular in the 60's and 70's seemed to have some difficulties transitioning into the 80's since a lot of their albums didn't do very well, and some even failed to score hit singles. There were however some rock bands that managed to keep themselves on the high point. there were 20 rock bands who have had some pretty big success in the 80's. Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses took the world by storm in 1987 when they released their debut album, "Appetite for Destruction", introducing their three biggest hits ever, "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine". These guys are most known for their powerful rock anthems and extensive playing mostly thanks to Slash and his killer guitar playing. In 1991, they released the 2-part "Use Your Illusion" album, which showed that they were still going strong. Some of their other strongest hits include "Yesterdays" and the ballad, "November Rain". They even made some rocking covers to Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die", and most recently, the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil". The last real album they ever made was 1993's disastrous "The Spaghetti Incident?" Sadly, ever since Slash's departure in 1996, this band was slowly fading away. Van Halen Another mighty band. Their self-titled debut in 1978 was one of the strongest debut albums of all time. Since then, the Van Halen brothers, along with the help of David Lee Roth managed to rack up a bunch of strong hits such as "Runnin' with the Devil", "Eruption", "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", "Jamie's Cryin'", "Dance the Night Away", "...And the Cradle Will Rock", "Unchained", and covers of "You Really Got Me", "Dancing in the Street" and "Oh Pretty Woman". The band also evolved a lot along with Eddie's insane guitar-playing and Alex's insane drumming. "1984" introduced a new sound for the band with hits like "Jump", "Panama", "Hot for Teacher" and "I'll Wait". After David Lee Roth was replaced by Sammy Hagar, things started going downhill for the band, but they still managed to make some mind-blowing hits like "Best of Both Worlds", "Dreams", "Love Walks In", "Why Can't This Be Love?" and "When It's Love". 1991's "Right Now" was the last real strong hit for Van Halen, and after that, the mighty was gone. The Angels' first single, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again", was released in April 1976. King, at the time AWOL from the army, was replaced by Graham "Buzz Throckman" Bidstrup on the drums. This would be the first of three different versions of the song the band released as singles throughout their career. July 1977 saw the release of the band's second single, "You're A Lady Now", followed a month later by their self-titled debut LP, The Angels. By now Chris Bailey had joined the band on bass, allowing Neeson to concentrate on vocals. Am I Ever Gonna See you Face to Face album reached #16 in November and stayed on the Australian charts for 79 weeks. "Take a Long Line", which has gone on to become one of the Angels' most-recognised songs. David Bowie on his first Australian tour, resulting in The Tour EP 7" single. No Exit, issued in June 1979, entered the Australian album chart at #8 upon its release and again at #15 in September. George Young contributed as a backing vocalist. In October 1979, Albert released the Out Of The Blue EP, featuring the third version of "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" in three years. On New Year's Eve 1979, the band performed in front of almost 100,000 people on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Their show, however, was cut short when a riot broke out in the audience. Doc Neeson was hit on the head with a sign and Chris Bailey was knocked unconscious by a flying bottle and hospitalised. [edit] 1980s The band signed an international contract with CBS Records and released, in March 1980, Face to Face, a compilation of tracks from the Australian Face to Face and No Exit albums, on the Epic label. The band billed itself as Angel City to avoid legal problems with the Casablanca Records' act Angel. Dark Room, produced by the Brewster brothers, was released in June 1980. The overseas version of this album featured re-recorded versions of "Ivory Stairs" and "Straight Jacket" in place of "Alexander" and "I'm Scared". American band Great White would later cover "Face The Day", from this LP as well as "Can't Shake It" from Face to Face. In March 1981, drummer Graham Bidstrup left the band, reportedly due to non-musical differences, and was replaced by New Zealander Brent Eccles. Bidstrup joined The Party Boys in 1983 and later formed GANGgajang. The Never So Live EP, issued in October, received heavy airplay and on the strength of the new song "Fashion And
