Help broadening rock taste
Im currently trying to broaden my taste in rock/metal i get rather nitpicky about frontmen with the voice thats high and squeeky like the acadamy is.. I like stuff with catchy guitar riffs and a good solo every now and again. Some help would be greatly appreciated
Favorites from my music collection: AC/DC Beatles Black Sabbath Boston Buffalo Springfield Def Leppard Guns N' Roses Iron Maiden Jimmy Hendrix Kansas Kiss Led Zeppelin Metallica Ozzy Osbourne PInk Floyd Red Hot Chili Peppers Santana Van Halen Things I've broadened too so far: My finds: Foo fighters Motley Crue Z-Z top Suggestions by you all: Thin Lizzy Some of the Whitesnake The Kinks

Barclay James Harvest.
Thin Lizzy. Whitesnake (pre 84 is great bluesy rock). Mainstream band's but it's a beginning. Most people will now start posting obscure bands for you to look cool but as your tastes are fairly orthodox, I think a slow transition is the best scenario.

I think in a lot of cases it's easy just to take the next logical step.
For example For Jimi Hendrix the next logical step would be Funkadelic For Kiss it would be The New York Dolls For Black Sabbath ... Hawkwind Iron Maiden ... Judas Priest Pink Floyd ... Can AC/DC ... The Cult Guns n Roses ... Hanoi Rocks Beatles ... Kinks / Rolling Stones / The Who

Well none of those bands I listed rip off any of the others.
The reason I listed the ones that I did was because they have some traits are the same yet they do things with them in a totally different way.
