Question
Can you grok these four songs and suggest a direction for someone with my tastes? The four songs are: Sandman (Metallica), We will rock you/we are the champions (Queen), Book of Days (Enya), that was yesterday (foreigner). Nowhere man (Beetles). A CD recommendation, a genre recommendation - anything will help. Thanks!

Answer
I apologize for the delayed response. From the songs you have listed, I will recommend these bands. Try out Saigon Kick, Extreme, School of Fish, Savatage, Syd Barrett(Pink Floyd founder), and I really think you would like my personal favorite, Jane's Addiction. Those should get you started, and again I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. There was an illness in the family, otherwise I really try to answer questions immediately. I will continue thinking of suggestions for you if you want to check back. Thanks for asking for my opinion, it is an honor. Oh yes, try the band Verve Pipe too.
