My half brother was in a couple Detroit bands in the 80's and 90's. Each band made a couple albums and did some tours. With Seduce they even opened for Motorhead in Germany for several dates.

I love the Angels (Probably more than ACDC)

Seen them many times live in the 80s (Very Underrated) They were called Angel City in USA

You couldn't walk down the streets of Boston in the early 80's without seeing a band that should 'a could 'a made it.

Atlantics
Robin Lane and the Chartbusters
The Fools (they had better songs, but they tended toward the cornball)
Human Sexual Response
Mission of Burma
O Positive

could go on and on, what a great time to live in Boston.

I recently discovered "Signal" and some of their albums are quite rare. Unfortunatly. While people my age are discovering the latest in Taylor Swift or Lady GaGa (Lady NoNo I think) I'm dusting off old rock bands.
