Anvil-Hard and Heavy
I have my Anvil Metal Pounders Union Card. It's the fan club of an obscure (but quickly gaining attention) Canadian metal band.
Anvil is highly influential. Bands like Metallica and Megadeth both have named Anvil as a big influence to their own music, and it shows.
Anvil is pure and simple schoolboy metal. It's not complex, the lyrics aren't great, but it's still great. I compare them to Kiss-basic music ability, simple composition-but what they do is still great.
Music snobs like to look down their nose at Anvil and Kiss and their fans. Oh, how can you like their music? It's so simple. Yes it is, and it appeals to everyone because of that.
Best songs-School Rock, I Want You Both (With Me), Oh Jane.
Rock on!
