I'm raising my grandson (both parents deceased), he is 8. And he loves music, especially rock n roll. He has been through the 50s, 60s and 70s, listening to his favorites: Ozzy and Black Sabbath, Queen, and David Bowie, to name but a few. In the last few years, he has gained an almost encyclopedic knowledge of rock, knowing when each album was released, who played on the album, etc. He does have challenges: severe PTSD, ADHD, anxiety disorder, and may also have some form of autism. Anyway, he is looking for some good 80s rock, and I find it difficult to help him find this. It's prob because didn't like most 80s bands. Right now, he is obsessed with Motley Crue. I would love Reddit's help in finding some great tunes for him. He is a very kind kid, but does have difficulty socializing with kids his own age. (Mostly cuz they can't talk about music with him). We read together a lot, and you already know what he likes to read about. Any suggestions of music and/or books (age appropriate) will be greatly appreciated.

UFO. UFO. UFO. I cannot suggest them enough, easily the most under appreciated band of the last 50 years.
