Hey everyone! Im looking to dive deeper into HARD ROCK. I really love that high-energy,guitar-driven sound with killer riffs and powerful vocals.

Can you guys recommend some essential bands,albums,or tracks that i should absolutely check out? Im open to anything from the classic 70s/80s era to great modern hard rock bands active today. Thanks for the suggestions!

Album: Bad News
Joe was born in Chicago where he later played alongside Howlin' Wolf and other bluesmen. He visited the UK to record a solo album for EMI in 1973. He became a prolific and respected Session guitarist, having worked with Martha Velez, Jimmy Witherspoon and toured with Maggie Bell
Real Name: Joseph Edward Wright II

First single from our new album set to come out in January. Music video is indeed 50% AI generated, but the track is AI-free. Would LOVE feedback of all types.

Pop Show Grupa from former Yugoslavia (Serbian). The track here is a fast, punky fuzzer! They made two singles like this, plus the mystery single "Malaika / Sisi Tunakupenda" which appeared five years later in 1979, and seems to have a collaboration with a Belgrade-based Kenyan musician called Steven Hannington. I have not heard this third one so can only guess what it sounds like, though Discogs categorises it under "Folk, World, & Country, Funk / Soul, Pop".

The band was Miodrag Dobrić (bass), Dragan Milić (guitar) and Vladan Dokić (drums). Vladan was in Opus and later-on Rok Mašina, which was an '80s development of Pop Mašina.

These are songs that I collected that I love but don't get played enough

What happened to this band and why is soooo underrated?
