Bands that ruled ... and still rule!!

Which are the bands that were good in the past, present, and probably in the future? That didn't let you down with a single release (of course, some were better than others, but in conclusion, everything was above average)?

- Tankard : not a single weak album!! Although I like the each release after Disco Destroyer less
- Exodus : everything!!! I'd say that their latest album is the weakest.
- Razor : 8 great albums, 9th is coming out soon! Also coming to Europe for the 2nd time ever in 2008, still can't believe it!!!
- King Diamond : he's really unbelievable - everything from his catalouge is WELL above average!
- Overkill : they didn't produce anything breath taking in the last 15 years, still, far from being bad!
- Megadeth : most probably, I haven't heard the entire Risk yet :p

Many:
SAXON
RUNNING WILD
GRAVE DIGGER
SCORPIONS

My favorite bands:

Saxon (EVERYTHING!!!)

Anthrax (From the Belladonna years)

U.D.O. (Dude, it's Accept's former frontman. 'Nuff said)

Witchfinder General (One of NWOBHM's most underrated doom bands)

Nevermore (Awesome)

Shadows Fall (Killer)

KING'S X
THE BEATLES
U2
SOLITUDE AETURNUS
TROUBLE
HAREM SCAREM
DEF LEPPARD (yup...never disappointed)
NIGHT RANGER
FATES WARNING (Alder era...every release)

AC/DC
MOTORHEAD
IRON MAIDEN
NEVERMORE
AXEL RUDI PELL
WHITE LION
BLIND GUARDIAN

Judas Priest (with the possible exception of "Turbo")

I agree that was a weak album by Judas Priest but what makes it a good is the guitar solos are awesome and the catchy riffs. Its a pity they used guitar synersizers on that album if they had dropped it it would of nearly of been as good as the other 80's Judas Priest albums. Mind you I do think some of the songs are better than the ones on Ram it Down. But I think it was their record company to blame for priest going into a pop metal direction.

Actually Priest signed on to new management at that point of their career.
supposedly it was the same firm who managed The Who..... I really think they influenced Priest to go in a more ....... accomidating direction.....

I always liked TURBO and still do today. I liked the sound of it and some songs were just great. I will always defend that album by JP and its just far better then the two albums with RIPPER OWENS.
