Iron Maiden? you aren't forgetting earlier maiden?

for that matter, the first stages of mettalica were good.

Was SLF 70's or 80's? good stuff, anyway.

lots of good Queen from the 80's. 

Let's see what Else I can add.

Oingo Boingo had some of their best work in the 80's, though no one seems to know anything about the Danny except one stupid song (weird science). Look into albums like "only a lad".

Berlin's pre top gun stuff was good.
