Need help with a Heavy Metal playlist.

Definitely - 40ths are supposed to be a bit cheesy. And you want music people will enjoy singing along to after they've had a few towards the end of the night. The very bon Jon Bon definitely a must. I'd chuck in a bit of cheesy Meatloaf (does Norrahe have a recipe for that?) too.

Cheesy bacon meatloaf

And if you want cheese you have to go for Van Halen, Whitesnake, Bill Idol (rebel Yell), Rush or Twisted Sister

[DS23]

good stuff so far. also:
uriah heep - love machine
ted nugent - cat scratch fever
acdc - highway to hell
deep purple - lazy
anvil - metal on metal (get the dvd! great film!)
black sabbath - black sabbath
grand funk railroad - paranoid
cactus - feel so good
mc5 - kick out the jams

dang there's load more but i gotta go...

[Hot Mess]

Gary Moore - "out in the fields"
Metallica - "enter sandman"
Audioslave - "cochise"
Pearl Jam - "jeremy"

so many

[Platypus]

Scorpions - Blackout


then you can sing along with the chorus "big nose... I really had a big nose ... big nose .. I really had a big nose "
(well that's what it sounds like )


Also,
Scorpions - Rock you like a Hurricane
Scorpions - No One Like You

(guess what I was listening to in the car this morning!)



@Cojak "how could I forget bat out of hell" - well easily since it's a pile of steaming tulipe. HTH.

I've seen people mention Metallica and Megadeth but you can't leave out Slayer, Anthrax and Pantera either.

Edit: Although after re-reading the thread they might be too heavy. Are you sure it's not more like rock/hard rock you're looking for?

[malvolio]

At risk of showing my age, anything off Who's Next - but Baba O'Reilly or Won't get Fooled are especially loud.

And sticking with the Meatloaf theme, open withthe original of Nelly the Elephant for anyone who remembers the original Bat outof Hell tour...

[Gonzo]

Has noone mentioned the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

For a 40 year old, I think the Blood Sugar Sex Magik album is the place to pick tunes from.

For manic moments

Suck my kiss
Give it away

For mellow moments

I could have lied
Under the bridge

'Shook Me All Night Long' AC/DC is a guaranteed jumping about track at an 'over 40s disco'

Broken Down Angel - Nazareth
Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
All Night Long or Since You Been Gone - Rainbow
Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
Come To My Window - Melissa Etheridge

Finish the night off with the full live version of Freebird !!
