Oh Adam, whitesnake? you let yourself down there mate.
Though i was into deep purple and rainbow for a while so whitesnake would be crap to me.
Loved Iron Maiden, actually had every album/single they ever made until about '88 then just went off 'em, IMHO their very best stuff was with Paul D'ianno (sp?), killers and iron maiden lp's.
Just as a little known fact if you have these (vinyl) albums and they don't have "fame" in the top right hand corner they're worth a fortune!! as is my run to the hills picture disc
Overall musically i have just about everything and anything, was into punk from the stranglers (before they went pop) to chaos uk and the dead kennedys, doa, stiff little fingers, then skinhead stuff like cock sparrer and sham69 and early skrewdriver.
The jam (weller is a true god), any ska from the original stuff to bad manners.
Dylan, charlie daniels band (i know) madonna (saw her at wembley) smiths, the cure, mondays, inspiral carpets (best intro ever was their track "saturn 5")..........i could go on and on.

BTW loved blur, much better than oasis
