- E - Eddie and the Hot Rods - Edguy

More pub rockers and probably wrongly slotted into the Punk/New Wave category when really they are a rockers.
Kicking off with 1976's Teenage Depression featuring a cover of the Who's The kids are all right and title track Teenage Depression. Follow up Life on the Line includes their classic Do anything you wanna do.

For a (mostly live) best of compilation then The Best of Eddie & the Hot Rods The End Of The Beginning is a good start.

In contrast to the pub band rockers come the stadium rockers from Germany Edguy. Formed in 1992 Edguy is led by Tobias Sammet when he's not recording with his side project Avantasia.

My first introduction to Edguy was Rocket Ride: Special Edition followed by the EP Superheroes which is also available with a DVD. The latest release Age of the Joker (2 CD, Digipack, Limited Edition) is also a recommended buy. The live releases include the high street friendly Fucking With Fxxx (2CD/DVD) that's also available as a double disc version and Burning Down The Opera: Live (2CD) .
