I recommend you try and find different Queen albums, such as
News of the World and
A Night at the Opera.
Greatest Hits are the most common ones, of course (You'll find those in stores that don't specialize in music.), but my philosophy is to listen to pretty much everything you can find from an artist. " '39" is currently my favourite Queen song, from the aforementioned
A Night at the Opera (Which also contains "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "You're My Best Friend".).
AC/DC is a good band for general listening. For them, I could recommend a fair number of albums (I have many AC/DC CDs.).
High Voltage is certainly a must.
The Razor's Edge is pretty good. Naturally,
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is a favourite. Currently, I listen to the
Live album - which features "Thunderstruck", "Shoot to Thrill", "Who Made Who", and an excellent version of "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". These guys seem to have an endless amount of albums, though, so it'd take me forever to recommend them.
My favourite bands are Queen, Alice Cooper, and Blue Oyster Cult. For Alice Cooper, pretty much any of his old albums yield the classics. "Billion Dollar Babies", "I'm Eighteen", "Welcome to My Nightmare", "Steven", "School's Out", "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "The Ballad of Dwight Fry", "Under My Wheels", and "Feed My Frankenstein" are among his best known. Other good songs include "Is It My Body?", "The Black Widow", "Simple Disobedience", "The World Needs Guts", "Halo of Flies", and "Teenage Lament '74" are some good older ones. Then he went into a different direction after the eighties, with some interesting songs on
The Last Temptation album, and
Brutal Planet is essentially a metal concept album (And a good one at that. If you wouldn't mind recent heavier stuff, give it a look.).
Blue Oyster Cult is difficult to recommend, because most people don't seem to take to them, aside from making "More Cowbell" jokes and referencing the big three: "Don't Fear The Reaper", "Godzilla", and "Burnin' For You" ("Astronomy" is arguably fairly popular, but more likely because Metallica covered it.). Other good songs from them are "Flaming Telepaths", "ME 262", "Subhuman" (My favourite Blue Oyster Cult song, actually.), "Harvester of Eyes", "Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll" (If you can find the
Career of Evil: The Metal Years album, the version of this song on it sounds more appropriate than the usual studio version.), "Golden Age of Leather", "The Marshall Plan", "Harvest Moon", and "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" (AWESOME video of this on YouTube. Runs approximately 8+ minutes, with a great guitar solo by Buck Dharma.).
Some general recommendations of bands to look into include Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, CCR, The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Aerosmith, Rush, Pink Floyd, King Crimson (Which I've picked up on, thanks to a mention from another Hype! user.), ZZ Top, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones (Of course.), The Beatles, Led Zeppelin (Many, many great songs to be found there.), Nazareth, Trooper, ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), The Steve Miller Band, Tom Cochrane and Red Rider, Bachmann-Turner Overdrive, Billy Idol, and countless more.
