Some cool bands listed above...for me, I pretty much love most music genres. But Traditional HM runs in my blood. For starters, I'm Judas Priest fan for life, have been for 30+ years. As I've gotten older, my taste has gotten heavier over the years. Don't get me wrong, I love the 80's style Rock/Metal, but there are some bands that I would love to forget. I used to run a CD Business out of my house some years ago (before iTunes), and I discovered many talented bands, and still follow their music today. Most bands I listen too, you wont hear on the radio. I'm not a fan of Sirus/XM's Boneyard...I mean really, how many times do you have to suffer with GnR? I'm not a fan of Guns & Roses...over-rated IMO...but hey, that's another topic for discussion, lol
Anyway, play what you love. You might find another fan while riding or at gatherings. While I'm writing this, I'm jamming to ICED EARTH...A great American Metal Band.
