Scorpions, iron madden, manovar, rata blanca, x-japan (как вариант).
Если от треша не тошнит, то Slayer (однозначно), Anthrax (крайне желательно), metallica (...And Justice for All). Ну и, собственно, что-нибудь из пост-панка (например, Black flag), какую-нибудь альтернативу начала девяностых, где еще не играли в строе, при использовании которого струны на гитарах болтались в районе жопы. Персональная рекомендация – Pantera.
По части лирики и философии Scorpions, например, равных сложно сыскать. У них же есть замечательный акустический альбом. Пример лирики команды:
Maybe I, maybe you
Can make a change to the world
We're reaching out for a soul
That's kind of lost in the dark
Maybe I, maybe you
Can find the key to the stars
To catch the spirit of hope
To save one hopeless heart
You look up to the sky
With all those questions in mind
All you need is to hear
The voice of your heart
In a world full of pain
Someone's calling your name
Why don't we make it true
Maybe I, maybe you
Maybe I, maybe you
Are just dreaming sometimes
But the world would be cold
Without dreamers like you
Maybe I, maybe you
Are just soldiers of love
Born to carry the flame
Bringin' light to the dark
You look up to the sky
With all those questions in mind
All you need is to hear
The voice of your heart
In a world full of pain
Someone's calling your name
Why don't we make it true
Maybe I, maybe you
