What excellent taste in music you have, sir.
Can I recommend "Rush in Rio" the DVD. Hilarious extra footage, actually crying fans (hilarious), and to top it off - some of the finest thinking man's rock ever. Marvellous stuff.
Then get the entire back collection.
I'll just be getting my coat, then...
Rico,
Since you provided me with some nice photos of the beetle at one of VMaxes, allow me to reciprocate by way of your stairway to metallurgical nectar.
The boy 'thunder (above) includes some of the masters but allow me some focus...
RUSH - buy everything upto but nothing after 1982. Best album is '2112' - it makes me weep with joy, such is the rapture.
LYNRYD SKYNYRD - get 'Pronounced Lynryd Skynryd' for the seminal work, 'Freebird;' a quite literal orgasm of an axe frenzied coda leaves you wide eyed, partially naked and hard gripping of tennis racket.
RAINBOW - 'Blackmore's Rainbow' for melody long since deemed illegal by the nonce police; 'Rising' for the showcase brace 'Stargazer' but especially 'A Light in The Black' and 'Long Live Rock 'n' Roll' which, although produced by the diddy men whilst on acid, features 'Kill The King,' my all-time favourite, kick out the jams, moshtacular heads-down epic.
THIN LIZZY - er, EVERYTHING!!! More variety than a box of Quality Street that's just been on a shopping expedition through a pulsing quasar and then nipped into a black hole for an extra box of king sized Twix.
UFO - again, THE LOT! In fact, UFO were/are so good that you should try and join the band. Chances are the guitarist (a somewhat mecurial German) will have stormed out leaving your chance for glory to proceed unchallenged. Prepare for a 12 month tour of forgotten Japanese dens of iniquity.
BOC or Blue Oyster Cult - too goo for mortals and obscurity incarnate, despite the FM-friendly 'Don't Fear The Reaper' ~ check out 'Secret Treaties' if you enjoy class C substances or several bottles of dog on an empty stomach or simply, select 'Fire of Unknown Origin' and rejoice in the knowledge that the Almighty exists and he encourages the spread of true metal, albeit unsuccessfully.
JUDAS PRIEST ~ holy sh1t, where to begin? Again, almost too good to listen to, every album is a no brainer, Glen Tipton & K K Downing will riff you into submission whilst screaming Roberto Halforde threatens to behead with screaming that the Bolshoi would kill for...well, rollocks to them, they're unfit to mix Bob's drinks. Buy the lot upto 1984's zenith, the unstoppable 'Defenders of The Faith' (featuring 'Freewheel Burning,' a track made for blasting speed limits and then urinating on their blackened embers).
Finally, MANOWAR - the ultimate heavy metal band - integrity fully intact and the viking wear and loin clothery to prove it. Later albums have astonishing production values but it's all heroic stuff and so funny it's scarcely credible.
Death to False Metal.
Chin, chin.

I'll second all of these. Presumably you already listen to:-
The Almighty
Anthrax
Megadeth
Pantera
I'll also add some different stuff - after all, broadening the mind and all that...:-
Faith No More
Nine Inch Nails
Ministry (heavy as **** - go for Psalm 69)
Corrosion of Conformity
Alice in Chains
Tool (very leftfield recommendation - acquired taste but sublime music if you "get" it)
Rollins Band
Lost Prophets (make Linkin Park look and sound like a boy band...oh, they are!!!)
Deftones
That's all that springs to mind at the moment.
1st Album only Mogwai, the logical conclusion of shitty death metal.
oh yeah,
ing Champs are really good too especially if you like really cheesy guitar. The best description of them I've heard is "hyper metal"

All of the above plus:
Van Halen
Tony McAlpine
Mr Big
The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides
Anything by Tommy Bolin solo or with groups such as the James Gang / Energy etc
Bernie Marsden's solo albums
Anything by Steve Morse - solo (I'd recommend Major Impacts Vol 1 & 2 as starters) / Dixie Dregs or the remarkably good Living Loud album
Vinnie Moore
