Wow I'm impressed.  I thought I was the only motherf#cker on this planet that listened to stuff like Dio, Heart, Skid Row, Vixen, Motley Crue, Fire house and the more popular ones on your list of course like Maiden, Queen, Ozzy, GNR, Metallica.\nYou must also try out stuff like Rainbow, Van Halen, I can't think of any more, looks like you covered them all.\n\nI love you man, keep rockin'   !!!

Green Day, Nickleback.\n\nThere are a bunch of good local bands too. Every time I start thinking rock is dead, some band comes along and renews my faith, like Guns and Roses did in the 80's and Green Day and Nickleback did in the 90's

I love them. Haven't gotten to see them live yet, but I'd really like to.  "What's Left of the Flag" and "Kings of the Kilburn High Road" are my favorites.

Skynyrd is awesome but slightly different than your previous bands listed.  I would recommend them though...try their greatest hits album.\n\nAlso check out these two bands who are considered the new Skynyrds:\n\nhttp://www.smithmusic.com/albums/stoneylarue/\n\nhttp://www.galleywinter.com/main/index.php (click on music on middle left)
