@@SomerankeroffYTYes, Slave to the Grind was a really good album as well. I suggested the self titled because it was in the 80s and seemed more in the vein of hair metal, but Slave to the Grind was full of bangers, with “Monkey Business” being my favorite Skid Row song.

@johnedwards5575 Год назад

The PMRC in their own goofy, inadvertent way was the best thing to happen to rock music in the 1980s. The more controversy they created, the more people went out and bought the “offensive” albums.

@GrantH Год назад

It’ll be a great day when rock music fans are finally able to talk about the hair band era unabashedly (instead of the usual “I don’t normally like this stuff, BUT…”) and we can be honest that a lot of this stuff, while certainly a product of its time, is still fun to listen to and some of it has actually aged well. I was a hardcore thrash metal guy as a teen and I remember how mind-blowing it was when I finally gave bands like Ratt and Skid Row a chance and realized I’d been missing out on some awesome music the whole time.

@Re-Todd_Howard Год назад

@@JulianHBurchill why are you saying no? Hardcore and thrash was underground. I’m talking about music culture as a whole. Sure you hated hair metal but it was popular in the 80s, much more popular than thrash metal. My point is, when grunge came in the 90s they made 80s hair metal seem lame. Nirvana publicly clowned on hair metal and it became popular to shit on hair metal amongst young people in the 90s because of grunge’s influence on the youth.

I'd like to throw in Ratt's Out of the Cellar as another top contender. Round and Round, Back for More, Wanted Man, this album has some great highlights and if you've ever cruised to Hair Nation on Sirius XM you know that Ratt has some good stuff to them. The biggest Hair Metal backlash is probably just the oversaturation of the genre and the amount of "meh" bands riding it in the mid-late 80s, but that doesn't change how good and how fun the best bands of Hair Metal are.

@TheNightmareRider Год назад

I'm in your age demographic, so I didn't grow up in the 80s to see Hair Metal in their prime. But Hair Metal is what got me interested in Rock and Metal music to begin with, so it's a genre that always has a special place in my heart. I think Skid Row's self-titled debut deserves a lot more credit than it got, despite coming right at the end of the 80s (the year I was born, in fact, 1989). It had the rebellious attitude of Twisted Sister and the melodic chops of Def Leppard all in one.

@TenguTalks Год назад

I will always have a soft spot for "Skid Row." It's lasted the longest of any hair albums I've loved over the years. And somehow still holds up well today, even better than Appetite for Destruction in my mind.

@franco1926 Год назад

I would have placed Skid Row's self titled on the list instead of Dokken or Poison, it holds up considerably better than those two.

@TH3F4LC0Nx Год назад

I guess Hysteria is an appropriate pick, since it's more "hairy", but Pyromania is their best album I think. Slightly heavier, and plus "Rock of Ages" is like one of the greatest songs ever.

@RockedNet Год назад

I love the description of it being "hairy". That's great.

@Pensfan5919 Год назад

Pyromania is the better of the two albums

@someguy7424 Год назад

Hysteria is my second favorite Def Leppard album. Retro Active is my favorite.

@sophiecat14 Год назад

Totally agree! I like Hysteria but when Pyromania was released you could not find a copy of it in our city. It was the only thing I wanted for Christmas that year and I honestly didn’t think Santa was gonna deliver, lol. However, he managed to find a copy somewhere & it didn’t leave my boom box until it was basically worn out. I don’t remember the same for Hysteria. All of my friends owned Pyromania. Hysteria? I can’t recall more than a couple of people, including myself. Don’t get me wrong, Hysteria was still better than many other albums of the 80s. It just couldn’t compete with Pyromania.

YES I’m not alone in calling Van Halen glam! They had the guitar tone, they had the drum sound, they had the writing, they had the vocals, it only makes sense. Some other great glam albums (gonna leave out the early 90’s stuff as much as it pains me): Ratt - Out of the Cellar (1984) Extreme - self-titled (1989) White Lion - Pride (1987) Winger - self-titled (1988) EUROPE (fans of my channel will get the reference) - The Final Countdown (1986) Stryper - To Hell With the Devil (1986) Y&T - Mean Streak (1983) Skid Row - self-titled (1989) Tesla - The Great Radio Controversy (1989)

Thanks for this because having been there and listened to all of those albums , I want to thank you for including Dokken, who mostly got overlooked then and even still don't get their due. However, the debut Zeppelin and Boston albums usually rank as the best debut albums over Appetite for Destruction as you can hear the influence of both those bands (and others 70's rock, of course) on G' n R. True, they were a phenomenon which my rocker friends and I always believed was due to Slash's Gibson gitar sound and their song-writing style causing them to sound more like the rock from the 70's and is now referred to as 'classic rock'. Just sayin'. 😉
