Help Me Spend My iTunes Gift Card

One of my friends gave me an iTunes gift card for no reason. She's just that awesome! So, I accepted the card (free music!) and placed it in my purse. The other day I moved the card to the drawer of my night stand. Why did I do this? Because I had no idea of what to buy. It's true: I'm sitting on free music and just have zero idea of what to purchase. So I'm leaning on you like I have so many times in the past.

What would you buy if someone handed you an iTunes gift card? I want something awesome (obviously) and I'd prefer something new. I don't want ANY classic Glam (because I've basically got it all) and I'm trying to get into some new bands. Remember, if it isn't necessarily melodic, then I like it heavy. Mix the two and you're golden. So help me here: what should I buy with my gift card? I always love your band selections and to hear of all the great tunes you've discovered. Go!

I agree that Bad City is really good. The new Accept is amazing
The Kix live Cd is a must and they also have live video from several many yrs ago...my wife bought those off iTunes.
Wildstreet's new one and Bullet....check out Bullet

Airbourne has some super live video, too on iTunes

Hansel's new CD called Never Say Die is Tops on my list too.

Hansel! Man, I gotta get that! Last year's album, which I found out about thru Al here, was The Best of 2010 in my book!

Bad City, another of Al's discoveries is awesome for sure, tho she's probably got that in triplicate already. But, Al, Bri L is so right about Accept, "Blood of Nations"! I would even go so far as to say it's the best album of the year thus far.

p.s. Bri L. -- Are you gonna be at Poison Dolls Crüe in Frederick this Saturday, Bro?

Since you guys mentioned Accept, I have to recommend the new UDO. I actually like it better than Accept's latest. Has that classic Accept sound to it.
Something different is Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. They have a great throwback soul sound. Horn section and the band uses vintage instruments and amps to get that sound. really good.

I'm still shocked AC/DC isnt on iTunes yet. I just picked up the new live Def Leppard album. Great guitar playing by Phil on there.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with
your blog.
