Reply #17: As I mentioned in my post, Cats In Boots was my favorite back in the day

I also have a Cinderella album, maybe the first one, I'm not sure. They were good live too. I also liked Great White, AC/DC (both versions), hometown boys Aerosmith (who I saw play in a college gym when their first album was out). Others I was into included Salty Dog, Bang Tango, Whitesnake, Jackyl. Loved Guns'N'Roses--Axl had quite a voice. I'm sure there were a lot more but I'm blanking out now. When I was writing about the music, I had the opportunity to catch a lot of new bands, some of which were good but never made it anywhere. I forgot about Keel: I wasn't into them but I saw them in a club once because I was writing about the (local) opening band.

I like Frank Sinatra too, but I'm Italian and I think it's a requirement. :D
