My favorites from those days:

Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne (up through No Rest for the Wicked)
Metallica (up through ...And Justice For All)
The Cult (I'd call them a hard rock band)
The Police (rock band as well)
Queensryche
Skid Row
Van Halen (NOT Van Hagar, as Joe Dirt would say...)
Cinderella
Dokken
and this little Dungeons & Dragons warlock right here:
