Why do the songs that Sammy Hagar did with Van Halen have a different style from what he did with Montrose or solo?
I love Sammy Hagar's works. One thing I've noticed about him is that the songs that he did with Van Halen seem stylistically different from the ones he did with Montrose or in his solo career. Why is this? I mean, I listen to stuff like "Bad Motor Scooter" or "There's Only One Way to Rock", and...- Diamond Reo

What other bands would I like if I like classic metal, NWOBHM and thrash?

What other Scorpions albums would you recommend?
Last night, I dug out my copy of Scorpions' Blackout and listened to it again, and it was just as good as - if not better than - the first time I listened to it. Now, I'm thinking of getting another Scorpions album, but I'm not sure which one(s) to get. Which would you recommend?- Diamond Reo

I think I might be into Diamond Head a little too much...
OK, for over a decade, I've known about Diamond Head's classics "Am I Evil?" and "It's Electric", but it wasn't until fairly recently that I picked up a CD copy of Lightning to the Nations as a gift for my mom. Well, I loved the album so much that I not only bought a copy of the same edition for...- Diamond Reo

Which of these three Saxon albums should I get on vinyl?
I love Saxon; they're #4 on my favorite metal bands list. Having owned and listened to at least one copy of Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather, I was talking to a guy who sold me a CD copy of the first one, and he suggested that I go for an original vinyl pressing...- Diamond Reo

I love Foghat's "Fool For the City" album, which other one(s) should I get?
A year or two ago, I bought Foghat's 1975 album Fool For the City. It was a solid album (barring "Take It or Leave It"), and I'm considering buying another album by them because they rock. Which other album(s) would you recommend?- Diamond Reo

How many of you here are into Riot?
NO, I'm NOT talking about Quiet Riot. These guys were formed in New York City in 1975 by guitarist Mark Reale. I forget exactly how I discovered them, but I enjoy their music, particularly their 1977 jam "Rock City". They also seem to be popular in Japan for some reason.- Diamond Reo

Are the early Albert Productions CDs of Bon Scott-era AC/DC albums supposed to be that expensive?
OK, I'm not an expert on classic rock CD reissues, but I've been going on Discogs and finding that early Albert Productions CD reissues of various Bon Scott-era AC/DC albums are REALLY expensive - well above $50. Are they supposed to be that expensive?- Diamond Reo

Should the 1989 CD reissue of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Head On" be that expensive?
OK, I've been a mega-huge Bachman-Turner Overdrive fan for a couple of years now, having collected the first CD reissues of their first four albums. However, I've been turned off of buying a first CD reissue of Head On because of the price: the cheapest one is like $59 on Discogs right now...- Diamond Reo

Trying to decide on a Joe Walsh album for my collection
I haven't heard all of Joe Walsh's material, but I've heard stuff he did with the James Gang, the Eagles and on his own, and I really liked what I heard, so I'm thinking of getting one of his albums.

Glitter Dogs - a new band?
I wasn't sure where this would go because there was a comment claiming that this was originally recorded in 1987, but many people seem to think it's new, so I'll put it here.

I know he did two different versions of that song, one on Standing Hampton and one on the soundtrack to the movie Heavy Metal. Is the latter version available anywhere on CD or MP3 besides the Heavy Metal soundtrack?- Diamond Reo

Electronic rock song with vocoder
At my workplace, I have occasionally heard what sounds like a 70s, maybe 80s, rock song that makes heavy use of synthesizers and starts off with a vocoder. I don't know any of the lyrics, but I'm sure it's not by ELO.- Diamond Reo
