[New Damage]

To the dude above, you missed out the instrumental wonder that is Kool And The Gang's 'Summer Madness', ah the joys of cruising around in Vice City with that blaring. Lol.

I'll add another since I'm bored.

1. "Back In Black" - AC/DC

2. "Lonely Train" - Black Stone Cherry

Mmm, it started to more towards the modern day bands with hard crushing riffs and anthem-like vocals, so I went with it.

How can you include Faith No More on a Grunge/Post Grunge album?

That's the only one thats out of place in the top one.

Well they were around that time, and to be honest, FNM are hard to place exactly in terms of genre.

6. "It's Been A While" -Staind

11. "Blurry" - Puddle Of Mudd

12. "Remedy" - Seether

Keep your horrid alt-metal bullshit away from my grunge. "Blurry" in particular is about as emblematic of the grunge movement as New Kids on the Block are emblematic of doo-wop.

Piano Rock

1. Ben Folds - "Zak and Sara"

2. Jack's Mannequin - "Dark Blue"

3. The Beatles - "Let It Be"

12. Guns N' Roses - November Rain

13. Five for Fighting - "Two Lights"

[Guest Mr. T]

I pity the fool who don't like some Canadian 80s Rock! It's a double album because that's how I roll! (also that way I can have some artists twice). Tried to make the first one more "pop" and second one more "metal", as much as I could.

1. Northern Lights - "Tears Are Not Enough"

2. Rush - "Tom Sawyer"

3. April Wine - "I Like To Rock"

4. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider - "Big League"

5. Burton Cummings - "Fine State Of Affairs"

7. Kim Mitchell - "Go For Soda"

8. Colin James - "Five Long Years"

9. Bruce Cockburn - "If I Had A Rocket Launcher"

10. Loverboy - "Lovin' Every Minute Of It"

11. Jeff Healey Band - "Angel Eyes"

12. Neil Young - "This Note's For You"

13. Honeymoon Suite - "New Girl Now"

5. Corey Hart - "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night"

6. The Tragically Hip - "New Orleans Is Sinking"

7. Triumph - "Magic Power"

8. Max Webster & Rush - "Battle Scar"

9. Coney Hatch - "Monkey Bars"

10. Red Rider - "Lunatic Fringe"

11. 54-40 - "One Gun"

12. Robbie Robertson - "Somewhere Down That Crazy River"

13. The Pursuit Of Happiness - "I'm An Adult Now"

14. Neil Young - "Rockin' In The Free World"

[Fire Storm]

I'll focus on something like Metal evolving throughout the years, so mixes of old and new Metal.

Metal Evolving Throughout The Years

1. Paranoid - Black Sabbath

2. The Trooper - Iron Maiden

3. Breaking The Law - Judas Priest

4. Master of Puppets - Metallica

5. Walk - Pantera

6. Bodies - Drowning Pool

7. Unholy Confessions - Avenged Sevenfold (I had to throw them in)

8. St. Anger - Metallica

9. My Curse - Killswitch Engage

10. Tears Don't Fall - Bullet For My Valentine

It could have done with more 90's stuff, but my knowledge of Metal from that time is pretty bad. I'm getting second thoughts over adding BFMV, but I'll keep it in anyway.

Well, hey, it's "post-Grunge." Which can pretty much translate to "morons who were 'inspired' by music much better than what they make." Part of why Kurt Cobain's death is such a tragedy to me is because if he were still alive I bet he would mock the hell out of "post-Grunge" bands, just like he mocked people who showed up to Nirvana concerts and didn't have any clue as to what he was actually saying.

Some awesome bands there. Was going to do a Power one but couldn't think for the life of me half of the actual song titles .

As for those... I'd have had "Eagleheart" by Stratovarius, "Black Sheep" or "Victoria's Secret" for Sonata Arctica, "Hero's Return" or "The Dragon Lays Bleeding" by Hammerfall, "Battlefield" by Blind Guardian and one of "Wish I Had An Angel", "Planet Hell" or, if I were being ballsy "The Poet and The Pendulum" by Nightwish.

No Edguy? "King of Fools" would fit methinks.

Oh, and Dragonforce... somewhere... some track. But that's just me
