This album is so good. Five CDs worth of hard rock, folk and even new music! Because of this album, I have several new artists I listen to. My stepdad bought this at a local used book store and after listening to it, I have several new musicians I listen to or are in the process of listening to
I've actually heard of more than half of the artists listed on here. I may know only one or two other songs by those artists or may not listen to them, but I've heard of them

Rainbow- I Surrender
Thin Lizzy-The Boys Are Back in Town
-There's a great cover of this song by the band Everclear. Check it out. It's great!

The Velvet Underground-I'm Waiting for The Man
Rod Stewart-Maggie May
Lynyrd Skynyrd-Sweet Home Alabama

Gene Simmons-Carnival of Souls
New York Dolls-Personality Crisis
Cinderella-Gypsy Road
-Great song. I already listened to Cinderella before I discovered this album. "Gypsy Road" is what got me into Cinderella
Motorhead-I Got Mine
-This song got me into Motorhead. I can definitely say I like their music. I'm in the process of listening to their albums
Billy Idol-Scream
-I never knew about this song. I like it
Nazareth-Bad Bad Boy
Fleetwood Mac-Man of the World
The Troggs-Wild Thing
CD 2 Tracks
Emerson, Lake & Palmer-Fanfare for the Common Man

Nazareth-This Flight Tonight
Magnum-The Spirit
-I love this song
Uriah Heep-Easy Living
-I'm in the process of going through this band's albums and listening to them
Rush-Tom Sawyer
-I like listening to Rush, but hate this song only because the local classic rock station 92.5 The Fox OVERPLAYS this song quite frequently in between songs normally never heard before
Motorhead-Overkill
Tesla-Modern Day Cowboy
Angel Witch-Angel Witch
Girlschool-Race with the Devil
-Good song, great band
The Runaways-Cherry Bomb
Big Country-In a Big Country
Gary Moore-Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
-This cover of the classic Eric Burdon & The Animals hit is great. I never realized Gary Moore sang as well as he did. I only thought he played guitar. Now I know he is a great singer and great guitarist. I love this version of the song
Dokken-Breaking the Chains (Live)
-This song, despite being a live version, is still great and is the song that got me into Dokken. Check out Dokken's Heaven Comes Down album. It's great!
Anthrax-Indians
-I saw Anthrax live in 2015 at the 2015 Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. I was mostly waiting for Linkin Park to take the stage. The band's vocalist, Joey Belladonna, kept asking the crowd to throw those metal horns up for Ronnie James Dio. Half of the audience looked like they were too young to even know who Ronnie James Dio was while the other half threw up those metal horns. Overall, Anthrax was not bad. I'll have to check out their other music
Helloween-Dr. Stein
-This song has that perfect Iron Maiden-like sound that got me into Helloween. Their singer sounds almost identical to Bruce Dickinson. This is a great song
Kreator-Pleasure to Kill
UFO-Doctor, Doctor
-I actually discovered UFO not because of this album, but because of seeing Iron Maiden in concert. "Doctor Doctor" by UFO is the song that Maiden plays over the loudspeakers of the venue they're at when their crew is setting up the amps, drums, guitars, microphones and more
Status Quo-Mean Girl
Joe Walsh-Rocky Mountain Way
-I'm not a fan of this song only because the local classic rock station 92.5 The Fox OVERPLAYS this song quite frequently in between songs normally not heard before
The Allman Brothers-Ramblin' Man
CD 3 Tracks
Asia-Heat of the Moment
Magnum-Just Like An Arrow

-Love this song

Nazareth-May The Sunshine
The Damned-Lovely Money
Hanoi Rocks-I Want You
L.A. Guns-The Ballad of Jane
Bonnie Tyler-It's a Heartache
Uriah Heep-Lady in Black
-This song has a very folksy, almost Fleetwood Mac-type vibe. Or it has early Rainbow vibes, like from their debut album Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Overall, this song is great
Barclay James Harvest-Mocking Bird
Status Quo-Pictures of Matchstick Men
The Moody Blues-Your Wildest Dreams
CD 4 Tracks
The Scorpions-Wind of Change
Extreme-Hole Hearted
Magnum-On a Storyteller's Night
-Kind of folksy, reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac or, better yet, Blackmore's Night only because of the title of the song
Girlschool & Motorhead-Please Don't Touch
-Great song! I've heard that Motorhead and Girlschool toured together pretty often
Little Angels-Too Much Too Young
Hawkwind-Motorway City
Venom-To H--- and Back
-This song was a little unsettling for me. The lyrics were sort of ominous and creepy. But then again, this is the type of music this artist is known for. I have nothing against the band Venom; their music is simply something I don't particularly care for. That's all. And if there are fans of this band out there, I'm happy for the fans and the band
Girlschool-Hit and Run
-The song that got me into Girlschool. Check out their new Guilty as Sin album. It's amazing!!
Atomic Rooster-The Devil's Answer
Helloween-I Want Out
-The song that got me into this band. This band gives off strong Iron Maiden-like sounds because of their vocalist sounding almost identical to Bruce Dickinson. But, overall, this band is great. Not too aggressive, mellow in the right parts
Samson-Riding with the Angels
-It's hard to hear Bruce Dickinson on this song and know it's not an Iron Maiden song
Juicy Lucy-Who Do You Love
-This band is covering the George Thoroughgood classic "Who Do You Love"
Climax Blues Band-Couldn't Get It Right
Rose Tattoo-Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw
Be Bop Deluxe-Ships in the Night
Atomic Rooster-Tomorrow Night
Curved Air-Back Street Luv
Tenpole Tudor-Swords of a Thousand Men
The Cooper Temple Cause-Who Needs Enemies
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-Ain't No Easy Way
-This song has a slightly folksy feel to it. It reminds me a little of some folk music, some southern rock. Like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd or even Kenny Wayne Shepherd
CD 5 Tracks
This CD is mostly newer music
Queens of the Stone Age-No One Knows
Papa Roach-Last Resort
-This band is covering the Falling in Reverse song of the same name (I actually prefer the original by Falling in Reverse. Heads up, the original version does have some swearing in it and the lyrics might not be suitable for everyone)
Marilyn Manson-The Beautiful People
3 Doors Down-Kryptonite
-I love this song. I already listened to 3 Doors Down before I discovered this album. For the longest time, I thought the name of this song was "Superman". Their album, The Better Life, check it out! It's great!
Puddle of Mudd-Blurry
-I love this song. Every time it comes on in my car, I start singing along with it since I know all of the words confidently. I already listened to Puddle of Mudd before I discovered this album. Check out their Come Clean album. It's great. The internet offers you the choice of the Parental Advisory Unfiltered version, meaning all of the swear words and dirty lyrics are audible to the listener or the regular version, where all of the dirty lyrics and swear words are blurred out
Breaking Benjamin-The Diary of Jane
Fall Out Boy-My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)
-This song has a slightly rap / hip hop sound to it, but it's good. I'm of the firm belief that rap / hip hop can be mixed with other genres of music and sometimes it improves the song, sometimes not so much. It all comes down to what you prefer. Examples include Biz Markie rapping on "Anybody Seen My Baby?" by The Rolling Stones. Or Linkin Park, who combines rap / hip hop with hard rock or metal, whatever the internet or fans consider them to be. Or Rage Against the Machine, who combines rap / hip hop and metal
Hoobastank-The Reason
-Definitely a late 1990s, early 2000s song
Sonic Youth-Incinerate
Lenny Kravitz-Fly Away
Hole-Celebrity Skin
Gun-Word Up
-This band does a hard rock version of the classic 1980s-era hit by Cameo
Blink-182- What's My Age Again
Weezer-Beverly Hills
Ugly Kid Joe-Everything About You
Alien Ant Farm-Movies
Sum 41-In Too Deep
Therapy?-Screamager
Raging Speedhorn-The Gush
The Cooper Temple Cause-Promises Promises
