I like Saxon too... that's pretty oldschool though, like Motormouth or Whitesnake. You will like Diamondhead and Rainbow too.
For those who like melodic stuff like Amon Amarth, be sure to check out Eluveitie, Tyr, Finsterforst, Mithotyn and Finntroll.
Eluveitie is good...
Anyone here tried Kalmah ? Though they arent lesser known, they are good! Do try them out if you havent!
