Maiden, Queensryche, Metallica, Dio, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Ozzy. All the 80s metal bands. Saw them live. But I grew out of it by the time I turned 20. For me, metal is for teenagers and 20s people. I still respect what it is, but there is so much more interesting music out there to enjoy than the head banging shredder stuff. Maiden I can take or leave. Metallica made some really good stuff in their early years but it’s not often I venture there anymore. Motley Crue are a bit of a guilty pleasure. Don’t venture there much either but I find them fun to listen to, when I want some sleaze. Ozzy was much better in sabbath. He’s made 3 classic albums and the rest are average to crap . Don’t listen to his solo stuff too much nowadays . I’m more of a rocker than a metal head. As for fleetwood Mac, I’ve always liked them since I was a kid. My missus loves them. Very good live, or they was when I went and watched them a few years back. Lindsey Buckingham is a guitarist that’s under the radar , but he’s very good. Not my cup of tea, but still very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more of a Donda man myself, but both seem below par by their usual standards Both are getting really poor reviews When a Kanye album is being criticised for being full of filler it must be really be shit cos for me all his albums have too much filler on them If you want a hip hop / rap album this month little simz seems to be the way to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No interest to the point I have just discovered in the last 5 minutes that Lindsey Buckingham is a man. I’d always presumed it was the woman, the one with the flouncy black lacy shawl in the little video clip they always show when referencing Fleetwood Mac. I’ll give them a swerve if ever they are a category the week I’m on Pointless. They're pretty good to be fair to them, percentage wise given just how much material they've got the number of good songs is probably quite low but there's still about 15 in there (a bit like Bowie in that regard) with a couple of really good ones like the chain, go your own way and landslide What they do have is rumours which is an incredible album, about 8 of those 15 songs are on that album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. His early stuff had loads of tracks but half of them were skits so it wasn’t as bad. But yeah neither are particularly good. There’s no stand out songs on them really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
