Grab a copy of Guitar Hero III for PS3 (other consoles are available) and work your way through the game.

Converted me to some songs which I had previously passed over as being big haired stadium rock nonsense.

Including Barracuda by Heart, Lay Down by Priestess and Before I Forget from Slipknot.

Also would recommend Killing in the name - Rage against the machine (eff you, I won't do what you told me still makes me feel like a bit of a rebel when stuck in traffic) and the Iron Maiden shout above reminded me of Phantom of the Opera which isn't bad for thrashing it along, Lucozade stylee (pre-Red Bull era sugar hit).

ETA - Meant to put Metallica - Metallica as a whole album too.

I love that song !!! My favourite Rush track nearly.......

[MarJay]

How come no one has mentioned Deep Purple yet? Highway Star is a must have driving tune, as is Smoke On The Water. In fact, the entire Machine Head album is fantastic.

If you're delving further into the eighties then you're getting into much more complex territory. There is a LOT of good eighties metal out there, of course the masters of which (and they still are) are Iron Maiden.

Here's a selection from the 'metal' playlist on my iPod:

Megadeth: Angry Again
Megadeth: Time: The End
Queensryche: Queen Of The Reich
Iron Maiden: Back In The Village
Iron Maiden: Powerslave (follows on from the previous)
Iron Maiden: Two Minutes To Midnight
Iron Maiden: Invaders
Iron Maiden: Children Of The Damned
Iron Maiden: Prowler
Iron Maiden: Murders in the Rue Morgue
Iron Maiden: Still Life
Iron Maiden: To Tame A Land
Metallica: Enter Sandman
Anthrax: Armed And Dangerous
Deep Purple: Space Trucking
Deep Purple: Highway Star
Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water
Diamond Head: Am I Evil?
Uriah Heep: Traveller in time
Uriah Heep: Tears in my eyes
AC/DC: Hells Bells
AC/DC: Shoot To Thrill
AC/DC: Back in Black
Judas Priest: Breaking The Law
Judas Priest: Living After Midnight
Dio: Gypsy


Anyway, you get the idea.

If you're looking for 'softer' hard rock, then Uriah Heep is worth a look, as is Cream, The Doors etc etc. Also Ted Nugent is extremely underrated 70's hard rock.
