Band that produced but got too winded in their image. Their drummer appears to be the best thing although the guitarist on occassion is capable of comming up with some cool riffs. So listen to their best:

Shout at the devil (take 2)
Too Young To Fall In Love

In the midst of the 'New Wave of UK Heavy Metal' this band had it coming to the stars. Riffs, song - they had it all prior to this album 'Pyromania' yet they never cought on to US audience. Simply, after this album, Leppard became a bad band: no song was good and they became over. Listen to songs while they were good.

Comin' Under Fire
Foolin'

This trio was rocking Detroit from 1980s into half the 1990s. They made some records, but the records never lived up to their live performance. Below are 3 of their songs recorded live in 1984 and one of them, The Mirror, quite possibly stands up to today's modern standards (although solo is awesome).

Fight Song/Starlite Starbright
The Mirror
Promises, Promises

Not much to mention other then their best days were when they were a disco outfit.

tragedy

Never noticed in US, this one-man's concotion of a band featured a singer who never sang. Yet their songs are top-notch disco stuff. Although trying to come back, what was is unrepeatable.

Hailed for the Dancing Queen, this band had many other songs that were much better then the one 'media' likes. Featured are teary 'Knowing me' and their Euro-pop hit 'Money'.
