Believe it or not I love slayer, yes I am a deadhead but my highschool days were in the early 80s. Bands like anthrax,motorhead,good metallica(pre justice),iron maiden still gets rotated here. I listened to Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood too many times to even think about. Reign in Blood has to be the heaviest album ever made in my opinion
Right now actually spinning some Saxon on the old turntable, Denim and Leather Rock on

I listen to all types of music, my wife wonders how I can listen to something like Tool and then pop in the String Cheese Incident or Bob Dylan. Since we have a few members talking in this thread do any of you guys listen to Iced Earth?

Great band I think you might enjoy them Captain, they are from Indiana but are very popular in Europe. Influenced a lot from Iron Maiden but they are a little more evil sounding especially the early stuff. See if you cant hear some samples on line and if you are interested I would be willing to burn some cds for you and mail them out. Just PM or email me if you think you might want to check them out, would not be a problem for me at all.

Wow - I thought I was the only one who still (secretly) listened to all these GREAT groups on the iPod at work, or elsewhere. Yeah, I think all of these bands mentioned so far (except Iced Earth 
) ROCK!!! I never had the pleasure of seeing Iron Maiden in concert, but have enjoyed the recent resurgence in Heavy Metal - both on TV, videos, and concert tours.
Flotsam & Jetsam were one of the many bands I enjoyed back in the day when Metal Blade Records put out compilations of their bands. I know Metal Blade records is still around, but most of their groups I don't recognize, for some reason.
I've never heard of Iced Earth, but being popular in Europe doesn't do it for me - David Hasselhoff is big there, too, as is the metric system, so they're not really meeting my criteria right now. Maybe I'll check them out later.
I'll hook up with this thread later - Rock on, brothers!

Hey phxhhr you need to check these guys out (iced earth) if you are a maiden fan I guarantee you will like them. My offer to the captain stands for you also would copy a few cds if you want. By being popular overseas I feel that is due to the fact that Heavy Metal is dead in the USA. Good heavy metal anyway, most people classify system of a down as heavy metal and I think they are terrible. Listen to some sound bites on the net of Iced Earth I really think you will dig them. This group is pure power metal made in the USA, I have really got a lot of my old metalhead friends turned on to this band. Give them a try you will not regret it
