Great band Alan.
 
As much as I like the other bands a lot it has to be Lizzy by a country mile!

I to was at Reading in 83 and yep they where pretty damn  special .

Budgie needed my vote, although I actually prefer Thin Lizzy.

I was gonna go on the bird path (Budgie), they are so rockin hard, but my heart belongs to that girl Thin Lizzy.  What a kick ass band.  Lynott's sweet bass and raps, twin leads of well...there were various dual guitarists in that group.  Well not that many, but still.  Not to mention the songs were catchy too.

"Johnny The Fox" and "Jailbreak"? Gotta hand it to the boys in Thin Lizzy, baby. Emerald is one killer tune.

Well there's been tons of Deep Purple, Rainbow, Zeppelin, Rush and Sabbath ones, and a good bunch of Uriah Heep ones and some others which I'm forgetting....

Bands that really didn't make it, musically IMO(not all), yet they released 1 or 2 killer Hard Rock/Heavy albums which are essential for the Rock listener...

My fave of those is Whitesnake, as you may know. Ready an' Willing and Lovehunter are one of my all-time favourite records....

Close second would be Trapeze.(Yeah, I know, all DP-related, I'm a fanboy after allEmbarrassed)
