I don't think you can do justice to 70s metal without some Black Sabbath. Toss in Ozzy's first few solo albums as well. Diary of a Madman & Blizzard of Ozz are a couple of my all-time favs. Occult? Some would say so. Download some MP3s before you buy, if you're unsure.
While you're at it, check out Deep Purple. Their Machine Head album is also on my fav list. Hmmm ... also, try Iron Maiden, Blue Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, ... how many options do you want?
Golden years by maiden is good
I think Wasted Years is the name of the song you're referring to.
Ironman, Warpigs, Fairies Wear boots
Don't forget Sweet Leaf!
Rush, man!! I'm surprised no one's mentioned Rush yet. :)
Some of the "hair metal" bands actually had some excellent music. I prefer to think of what they look like now, since most, if not all have dropped the pink tights, puffy hair, leather pants, etc. Here's some examples:
Pretty Boy Floyd
Cinderella
Motley Crue
Kix
Poison
Twisted Sister
Winger
Warrant
Skid Row
Some stuff from the 70's that you might like (some are still around):
Led Zeppelin
Blue Oyster Cult
Alice Cooper
Uriah Heep
Magnum
UFO
AC/DC
Nazareth
Accept
KISS
Judas Priest
Dio
Stuff from the 80's (some of these may be hair metal)
Iron Maiden
Guns N Roses
Megadeth
McAuley Schenker Group
Saigon Kick
LA Guns
Cats in Boots
Kick Axe
Helix
Saxon
Mr. Big
Kingdom Come
Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Quiet Riot
Autograph
Gwar

And, from the 90s
House of Lords
Ugly Kid Joe
Danger Danger
White Zombie
Soundgarden
Live
Stone Temple Pilots
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Offspring
this is great stuff guys, I'm gonna be busy this weekend. I think I was born in the wrong time, I should have been a teenager in the 70's, all of my favorite groups seem to have emerged in the 60's and 70's.
Don't forget Shania
and Norah Jones
and Elvis
and the beatles
and Nickleback
I like all those guys. Lol.. metal is just not me unless its a metal fork or spoon and I can eat with eat..lol

RUSH was great, but I thought they took a nosedive through the 80s & 90s. Their music just didn't have the same drive that their earlier albums had ... I'm thinking specifically of albums like Fly By Night and 2112 as being among their best. Their All The World's a Stage live album was pretty good, too.
Speaking of RUSH, they're on their 30th Anniversary tour this year. Have any of you seen them in concert lately?
The two Scorpions CDs I have are Face the Heat (I love this album) and Pure Instinct. They rock.
