LISTEN HERE

I LOVE Black Sabbath

LOVE AC/DC. If you like them, Airbourne is pretty nice too.

Found all the The Stooges albums pretty cool

Love('d) Queens of the Stone Age. I listened to them a few years, recently grown away from them again, I especially loved the early albums.

As a teenager I loved Linkin Park, but that was quite a while ago and I stopped listening to them after Minutes to Midnight.

I listened to some Rolling Stones albums and Led Zeppelin a long time ago too. I liked it, I am not sure I can love it, perhaps I should check it out again, if so, which album, which order? I am not sure if its hard enough.

I do still enjoy me some Korn once in a while (earlier albums). I had a hefty grunge phase some decade or so ago, where I particularly also enjoyed the Bleach album (by Nirvana), Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Silverchair, Hole, The Smashing Pumpkins etc., basically listened to all the grunge bands, enjoyed the "pop-grunge" but also some dirtier grunge stuff. That was a while ago too. In the past I also had a particular liking for psychedelic rock and alternative rock too. When mentioning psychedelic rock, I still think fondly of Blue Öyster Cult and of course Pink Floyd. Alternative rock leaves me with memorable musical memories of The Pixies and Sonic Youth, oh yeah and of course Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground & Nico of course. Other stuff I liked was The Cure and similar dark-moody stuff like Joy Division or also The Smiths, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Talking Heads at some point.

Now recently, I have listened more to New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), where I found out I enjoy the early Black Sabbath, the late Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne solo stuff, Dio solo stuff and while getting to know more early heavy metal bands, discovered I like Judas Priest, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head, Motley Crue and now also found I do like some Iron Maiden and Megadeath, very solid rock, pretty insane rock actually!

I also found the sound of Danzig pretty cool.

There is some stuff I like from Def Leppard, Deep Purple and Motörhead, can't really say I love those bands entirely, perhaps I don't know them well enough. Deep Purple has some nice music for driving though.

I am not really into Thrash or Speed metal or growling.

I sort of love the rock with the feeling of sitting on a motorbike.

For NWOBHM, there are things I still want to explore like W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, L.A. Guns, Saxon, Samson, Quiet Riot, Ratt. I do not know these bands very well yet though. Listened to some albums by some of them or know some songs. Perhaps someone can recommend any of these or more great bands?

I am asking here for hard rock suggestions (or NWOBHM or similar if you have any), not psychedelic, grunge or alternative rock suggestions.

What band should I focus on next? What band will I love next? What album? In what order should I structure my search for the next band I love? What can you recommend?

Please hard rockers, guide me to musical satisfaction!

Edit:

Albums that were recommended here and some more I listened to along the way will receive a short review of my very much personal and very biased rock opinion. Only albums that I listened to completely in one sitting (or few more).

Rhino Bucket - Get Used To It: NICE! Great album, fast, dirty, hard, AC/DC-like, really enjoy it, thank you!! Cool to rock along to!

Krokus - One Vice At A Time: That sounds amazingly close to AC/DC! I enjoy this album a lot, didn't finish it yet but 3 songs in, I know I will come back and throw it in some more-frequent-listening-playlist. Great suggestion! (Later) "Playing the Outlaw" is an amzing AC/DC-esque rock song!

77 - 21st Century Rock: Very cool album too, heavy AC/DC-vibes. Not as good as Rhino Bucket I'd say, but definitely enjoyable for some solid rocking. Will listen to more for sure. Solid rhythm, nice typical AC/DC riffs that are not amazingly mind-blowing but great for everyday rocking. Is it Blues Rock, Rock 'N Roll? Not quite sure, but reminds much of early AC/DC.

UFO - The Best of UFO: Nice rocky music, nice guitar play, solid, overall feels softer to me in many of their songs but if I compare them to AC/DC they sure are good for a few listens here and there. Solid, but overall not that "hard". "Rock bottom" is a very very cool nice riff-ey songs though! Aw man, that guitar play makes me drool... Uh, and now "Love to love" that sounds pretty cool too. Very nice build up and even though there are slower guitar sections, the sound is very enjoyable, evokes nice emotional imagery! "Pack it up and go" is also pretty cool, nice riffs, nice guitar, nice everything. Same for "Hot 'N Ready"!

UFO - Lights out: Nice music, very nice guitar. However, I feel for me to love it it may not be hard enough. I need it harder lol (Later) Listening more into it, "Try me", wow actually beautiful guitar, wow. And whoops, the next song "Lights out" already is harder! Nice, I like it! (Even later) Wow, "Alone Again", "Love to Love", "Too Hot Too Handle", great songs, great album overall, solid rock album!

Guns 'N Roses - Appetite for Destruction: They are very well liked but somehow there is something that makes me not exactly like this album... I am not a super huge fan of Guns 'N Roses, I find them somewhat softer sounding with more pop-appeal. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a nice song but I don't find it very "hard" in terms of rock and sort of pop-y. But I liked the second song, "It's so easy" of the album more. It's nice rock but somehow I don't like their style that much. I can't really put my finger on why. Third song "Nighttrain", nice rock song, but doesn't catch me. But I heard the suggestion before to listen to them, I just don't get why it doesn't catch me. I am missing something more ACDC-like that is both in ACDC and Airbourne for example.

L7 - Bricks Are Heavy: Nice, fuzzy, high energy, aggressive, crunchy, I like this album very much, awesome energy! One can easily see many parallels to Nirvanas music from there.

Dokken - Unchain The Night: I liked it a lot, especially "It's Not Love" stays in my memory after listening. Very nice and energetic rock! Cool riffs too!

Saxon - Denim And Leather: Solid NWOBHM album. Not all songs are perfect in my rock opinion, but the overall vibe is great. "Out of control" stays in my memory after listening, that was a pleasure! (Sadly the rest I forgot already by now, gotta re-listen).

Motörhead - No Remorse : I say I don't love Motörhead because with every studio albums, there are plenty of songs I find a bit too noisy and wild. In "No Remorse" I find a huge collection of great rock songs with which I can't stop myself to bang my head along. With this album, I really love their music, however by listening to their studio albums, I can't say the same. This is different for me with AC/DC where I find almost every song on most studio albums great to rock along to.

Iron Maiden - Killers: I just find every Iron Made album I listened to so far (based on "best of albums"-lists) pretty great and very solid. Can't say much more, they just rock!

Tygers of Pan Tang - Spellbound: It's okay, I guess. I don't remember much.

Tygers of Pan Tang - Tygers of Pan Tang: Love this album. Has a broader mass appeal in my opinion but I love the way they rock there.

Diamond Head - Lightning to The Nations: I'd say this may be one of the most amazing rock albums I have ever listened to. It just sounds so amazingly rocky. Full of energy and amazing guitar parts, wow. Love "Am I Evil?", "Sucking My Love" and "Lightning to The Nations", those are the ones I remember the most up until now.

Quiet Riot - Metal Health: Some amazing NWOBHM songs that sound amazing, but also some that sound less amazing. Liked especially "Metal Health", "Cum on Feel The Noize", rest I don't remember much by now. I really only like half or less than half of the album.

Also randomly listened to

Van Halen - 1984: Cool music, much synthesizer, though overall sounds not as hard and dirty. Easy listening sort of.

Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff: Nice and dirty, very wild. Sounds good. I like it less than L7s - Bricks Are Heavy though, a bit too wild for me to love it.

Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger: Nice hardrock, they rock well with a darker sound. However, some songs are somewhat rocky but I also fond many of them a bit boring... overall a good rocky listening.

Deep Purple - Machine Head: Great album! I like this one a lot. Great for driving! Very rocky and straight forward.

Deep Purple - Deep Purple In Rock: Don't like it somehow...
