Iron Maiden get endless plaudits and rightly so,
Today though it's about giving a shout out to

Nirvana for me,
It impacted an entire sub culture and brought it main stream,
I prefer oasis personally but the Brit pop stuff wasn't as genre defining as nirvana
Bon jovi and U2 were okay but not unlike dozens of other bands,
It's not a question of who is best just impact,
And
@historyrock_
I prefer the stone's music as it's more my thing,
But Freddie is basically one of the greatest performs of all time,
So depends on the metric really
Both are incredible
4 albums I just can never get sick of listening too,
Iron Maiden are partially responsible for making the 80's and 90's better decades than the 2000's and beyond

Better - no comment, Bohemian Rhapsody was ahead of its time in ambition in many ways and legendary song
I won't diss freddie
But I would be playing Stairway if I had the choice
@DrGuitar
Lars Ulrich,
It didn't say pick the best, he is part of the essence of my fave band, don't care who is much more skilled or talented, he drums on puppets/lighting/kill em all which is good enough for me, he is Perfectly imperfect, like the rest of us
Go Lars 🤘🏻

On this day in history
June 22nd 1981
Motorhead released
'No sleep til hammersmith'
No Sleep 'til Hammersmith is the band's most successful in terms of chart positioning, peaking at number 1 on the UK charts, having capitalised on the preceding success of the St. Valentine's
@ZackAttackP1
Of course it isn't,
It might be the most famous (I say might loosely)
But nope, we all know the first 3 albums are better,
I could entertain a very tiny argument between black/justice maybe if I was intoxicated.
Rock on

Yep, I still do it now, and always carry all the bags, doors opened etc etc.

The city was amazing and I ate a hamburger in Hamburg,
Regardless of where hamburgers originate it made it taste better 😁

Road trip last night with my 15 year old son to his academy football game,
Listened to Holy Diver in full,
He approved and then saved a penalty to help win the game,
I like to think Ronnie Dio would have approved ,
What an incredible album

I didn't know this
The album “British Steel” takes its name from Judas Priest guitarist Glen Tipton who was once an apprentice at British Steel – a metal manufacturing company.

IMO yes, but it's tight, as black ain't great.
If it was between kill/lighting/puppets/justice then I would go on a rampage if anyone suggested GNR was better .👊🏻

No of course it shouldn't,.it's a personal belief verging on a personal truth,
But I would ask that they don't speak like it's a collective truth and certainly should have no influence on legislation or school curriculum,
But ultimately, live and let live.
For MOTORHEAD Monday,
Currently listening to 1993 bastards album, as it's something of an exploration and lesser known by me,
“On Your Feet or On Your Knees,” “Burner,” “Death or Glory” and “Born to Raise Hell,” are absolute bangers,
And a rather unexpected and unprecedented
@Rockdecades
Lemmy means the most to me due to his story and how he lived his life exactly how he wanted, gave no fucks -
All are icons with the appropriate lifestyles,
I am not picking who is best this or best that,
It was who means the most and that's Lemmy.
I am a bit ashamed that I never knew this, so am publically admitting my failing.
Guns n roses are not a band I listen to or read about but were enormous when growing up so think I should have known this🤷🏻🤷🏻
Oh well , every day is a school day.

it's in the eye of the beholder ,
Comparing MJ, Elvis, Bowie, Elton john, Stevie wonder, prince, Sinatra etc, is a personal thing
I respect all the greats, but I wouldn't be looking to far beyond Freddie if I am honest.

For anyone unfamiliar with the legendary Judas Priest and wanting to get to know them,
I would start with albums British steel from 1980 and Screaming for vengeance from 1982,
Loads more are excellent but gotta start somewhere,
Would leave Demolition from 2001 last.
@judaspriest
This is thoroughly recommended,
Recently finished, though was released way back in 2002,
We know and love the tales from Lemmy's life but this was an eye opener (wow)
Next up will be Rob Halford's Confess from 2020

I really like Robert , but I am still genuinely a bit sad Jason left and that he was treated crap,
Maybe it's time to get over it 🤔

Just seen a debate off
Dimebag vs. Slash
There is always never-ending argument between who is better than whom in bands
I laughed, they didn't do the same stuff, and if they did,
Dimebag would have done it better.
For me, it's a tale of levels with easily one winner and I
