Ranking Every MÖTLEY CRÜE Album 

Finally ! Someone who recognizes MC94 is the best one !

The Corabi 94 album is also my favorite

Love this! I think I'd go: 1. Shout at the Devil 2. Girls Girls Girls 3. Saints of Los Angeles 4. Dr. Feelgood 5. New Tattoo 6. Too Fast For Love 7. MC '94 8. Theatre of Pain 9. Generation Swine Even though I put Shout #1 it's the one in my Top 5 that I'd probably listen to least of, but it made them stars so that's why I put it there. Also, depending on my mood, I would swap #4 & 5.

I appreciate New Tattoo being so high on the list. That was the new album when I was first starting to get into the Crue so I’ve always had a soft spot for it. I have fond memories of constantly watching promo appearances on vh1 and late night shows that my dad had recorded for me on tape from that time period. Plus the incredible Behind the Music from a couple years prior. Good call on Bitter Pill, too. Not sure why they took that of the subsequent greatest hits. I love that song.

Nice review Sean. I knew because of your age you would pick the 2 top albums. Theater of pain has nostalgia for me I was a junior in high school. It's funny how your perspective on these albums and different groups it's so funny because if you were alive and buying them as they came out you would see the progression and you wouldn't maybe rank them the way you do but it's still a fun video.

As a “boomer” - I agree 100% with your list. John Corabi is an amazing musician and that album (and the Quarternary EP) was excellent. Theater of Pain is weak. Shout at the Devil is ok. Feel good had great songs too to bottom plus Bob Rock production.

Nice ranking. Here's mine. 1. Dr. Feelgood. 2. Shout At The Devil. 3. Too Fast For Love 4. Theater Of Pain 5. Girls, Girls, Girls 6. Mötley Crüe 7. New Tattoo 8. Saints Of Los Angeles 9. Generation Swine (No Surprise)

I saw Motley Crue with Ozzy back in 1984. The ticket was $13.25 I’ll always like the first two albums the most but the 1994 album with Corabi is great but I don’t consider it Motley Crue. Also Vince’s singing on Girls Girls Girls and Dr Feelgood was the best of his career. They peaked as a band for those two albums IMO but the first two had the biggest influence on me as I had just graduated HS and was ready to take on the world.

My fave is Too Fast. But that Hooligans Holiday is awesome

I’ve been a CRÜE Head since SHOUT AT THE DEVIL came out in 1983. I was just turning 11 years old and that album changed my life. Not long after I realized they already had another album out called TOO FAST FOR LOVE and I begged my mom to buy that album for me. Yes I had to do many chores to get it but well worth it because that album also was killer. Theater of pain for me was just weak with the exception of home sweet home and city boy blues but they redeemed themselves with the GIRLS album. I’ll cut this off hear but motley through the years has disappointed me and has pumped me up. Bottom line is when a rock band has been around for decades it’s hard for them to please everyone for that duration. God bless the CRÜE!!!!!!

Not sure why I like this channel so much but keep it up. Kiss is my fav for reasons and crue was my number two when younger. (I'm 51). Keep the rankings coming, you're on to something with this channel. Fun to hear someone else's takes. Be well.

Hey Sean 👋, you, my friend, are wise beyond your years! Although we may disagree on some of your choices, all of your reasoning for YOUR choices have merit in my humble opinion... I have to tell you, without going into any real detail because the story is long and sometimes a little foggy (lol), I WAS THERE MAN! My band was playing up and down the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and up and down the Strip in Vegas from the mid 80's to the late 90's at which time it felt a little silly running around the stage in leather pants and still chasing a record deal. Since music was my life, I stayed in the "Biz" and became a professional audio engineer. In my 40+ year span in the music industry I was so very blessed to have rubbed shoulders with most of my music heroes! I either opened for, was a stage manager for, or ran monitor mix for everyone from KISS to James Brown, Mariah Carey to L.A. Guns, Christina Aguilera to Poison, Prince to Motley Crue, etc... (You get the picture) Your love and deep KNOWLEDGE of music in general totally gives me hope that not all millennials have mush for brains! Lol... I'm so sorry that you weren't around then. YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A BLAST! Who knows, maybe even have played in my band! Lol... Either way, I'm sure that we would have been fast friends... Keep the faith and keep fighting the good Rock-N-Roll fight my "Brother from another mother" Lol... Speaking of which, you have an awesome mom to have taken you to concerts with her like that! I can't tell, because the Thumbnail is so small, but is that your mom or your girlfriend in the pic? God bless and take care bro...

My top 4 Motley Crue albums Too Fast for Love. Shout At The Devil. Theatre of Pain. Girls. Girls. Girls

Shout at the devil at 6 is criminal

my motley crue album ranked: 1 - shout at the devil 2 - too fast for love 3 - theatre of pain 4 - girls girls girls 5 - dr. feelgood

I thoroughly enjoy your lists. Motley was my favorite growing up, but I truly believe they should have called it after the 2005 tour. I thought that Carnival tour was a great show. I'm thrown off quite a bit by New Tattoo since it's just pieced together scraps/ material over the Dr. Feelgood years. Also thrown off by you low Shout placement, but agree 100% with your feelings on the 1994 album. Always fun to hear others views on bands, so I appreciate your video and keep them coming.

I remember when I first heard PRIMAL SCREAM and I was stoked because I thought Motley was going in a heavier direction with that next record and as it turned out their next one came five years later and was very heavy,but it wasnt with Vince on the vocals

I concur with your number 1, Crab is one of my favourite singers, if you haven't already check out The Scream album, it's better than any Crue album up to the Corabi one

Just found the channel. Enjoyed the ranking but as someone who grew up buying these albums on release days I’ve got to disagree with the rankings. Theater (too low) - this was the blues-influenced record, not Girls. This shocked people when it came out because people thought Crue was a metal band and they went back to their Aerosmith roots even down to Nikki stealing Steven Tyler’s black and white striped outfit. There are some clunkers, and there are some vastly underrated tracks such as “Fight for your rights, City Boy Blues, and Raise Your Hands to Rock.” A great sign that Motley would never release the same record twice. (but maybe the same song) Shout (too low)- This was the definitive LA street album before GnR released Appetite. Raw, gritty, violent, and ugly. Tommy’s playing is incredible and Nikki’s storytelling has never been better. “10 Seconds to Love” and“Red Hot” are underrated gems and “Danger” is their best album closer. Not to mention “In the Beginning” is still one of the best openings any album had. Girls (way too high) - I bought the 30th anniversary and outside of the two singles it’s all filler. Motley is trying to recapture the street kings vibe but it’s hard when everyone knows you’re living in the Hollywood hills. Lyrics like Bad Boy Boogie are just lazy (bad boy boogie.. bad is bad?) and “All I Need” wasn’t needed. Rodeo was left off and it boggles the mind why a band who had spent the last 5 years on the road wrote a great song about being on the road and left it off. For another piano ballad that couldn’t touch “Home” and wouldn’t because they purposely made a video they knew would be banned? Too calculated to be shocking. Thankfully not only did they sober up for Feelgood but they embraced their roles as the elder statesmen that other bands wanted to be. Because when you’re having GnR open up for you… you’re no longer the young punks.

Saints of LA is a fantastic album.

And if we are gonna be honest here,there is only one reason that Motley 94 isn't most people's #1 and it's a pretty big road block,but majority of fans will say it's Not Crue anymore,but it's such a FN banger that I had no choice but to put it at the very top of my Crue albums,because there's still Mick Mars and Tommy Lee's playing on this record and It's their very best work by a landslide margin, especially Tommy's drumming on this one!!

I've seen Motley Crue 3 times on tour....'Theatre of Pain', 'Girls, Girls, Girls' and 'Dr Feelgood' and they have NEVER been that great live, especially Vince Meal!!! The theatrics were good, especially during the 'Dr Feelgood' tour. Actually when I saw the 'Dr Feelgood' tour, "Skid Row" opened for them and sounded way better. I was already a fan of John Corabi because I really liked 'The Scream'. When they released "MC '94", IMHO it turned out to be one of the BEST albums to EVER be recorded by ANY band. Still listen to it today, all the time. It's fantastic, from start to finish. Most people don't know, but John Corabi was extremely involved with the recording of 'Generation Swine', doing backing vocals and playing guitar. He was not credited at all and had to sue Motley Crue for royalties due to him.... Typical Motley (Nikki Sixx) Crue

Mine... 1. Too fast for love 2. Motley 94 3. Shout at the devil 4. Dr feelgood 5. Girls girls 6. Theater of pain 7. New tattoo 8. Generation swine 9. Saints of Los angeles

The only band who has ever challenged kiss for my fav band! That was from 83-90! Still dig the band, but have since been replaced in my second spot by Van Halen! I dig your list! Kinda similar to mine, theater of pain is much higher tho!

My rankings would go something like this: 1. Too Fast for Love 2. Motley Crue 3. Shout at the Devil 4. Theatre of Pain 5. Dr Feelgood 6. Generation Swine 7. Girls Girls Girls 8. Saints of Los Angeles 9. New Tattoo ...and I honestly think that Generation Swine would go two or three notches higher on my list if Corabi had still been the singer in the band. If Too Fast for Love hadn't been such a mind blower of an album - god, I still remember when it came out, and there was just nothing like it - that self titled album would stand miles above everything else they released. And I could never possibly put New Tattoo low enough. What a drag of a record.

Amazing that you have Theater as last. Although I will admit I could care less if I hear Home Sweet Home again.

I was surprised. I felt that Dr. Feelgood would be at the top but also relieved when it wasn't. My personal Crue favorite is Shout at the Devil and, like many other Crue fans, I hated Generation Swine and never regained interest in the Crue. Did read The Dirt though. I let a friend of mine borrow it and he never gave it back to me.

-9 Generation swine, only song I can listen to on this album is Afraid -8 Sola, all around average album few good songs -7 Crüe 94, not the biggest fan of grunge music but there’s a few songs I listen to on this album, i understand why people have it ranked highe 6- New Tatoo, very underrated and overheated album, first time since 89 Crüe went back to there original sound 5- Theatre of Pain, few good hits but lots of throwaways aswell 4-Girls Girls girls: top 4 can be ranked anywhere imo all have great hits. Wild side, girls girls girls, dancing on glass, all in the name of, bad boy boogie, your all I need… 3: Dr feelgood 2: TFFL 1: Shout at the devil

I love that you put New Tattoo this high, its my favorite by Motley, and my band used to cover Punched In The Teeth for years. Btw, that song is a 99% rip-off of Rockin is my Business by the Four Horsemen, but anyways :P

The worst songs on Dr. Feelgood, is "Slice of Your Pie", and "Sticky Sweet"... but Mars shines on that album, and its a great one, personally I would have picked Shout At The Devil. But you're right, the best Crue Album, is with John Corabi.

My personal ranking 9. Generation swine 8. Girls Girls Girls 7. Theater of pain 6. Saints of Los Angeles 5. New tattoo 4. Motley Crue 3. To fast for love 2. Shout at the devil 1. Dr Feelgood

The 94 MC album is their best overall release.

Motley S/T 1994 was their best LP by far Corabi made Motley a more powerful machine

My ranking 9. Generation Swine 8. Motley Crue 7. New Tattoo 6. Saints Of Los Angeles 5. Shout At The Devil 4. Too Fast For Love 3. Theatre Of Pain 2. Girls, Girls, Girls 1. Dr. Feelgood

Also, while I don't agree with the entire ranking, the #1 spot we agree on.

What show did you see in 2005 out of curiosity?

Man we agree on almost everything kiss, but like you said most will like shout at the devil the best and that's where I'm at. To me it's the hotter than hell of motley crue. Raw but catchy.

I 100% agree with the self titled being number 1. The album is so good and totally different from other Mötley Crüe albums. I wouldn't even consider it a Mötley Crüe album. It's heavy and badass

1 shout at the devil 2 girls girls girls 3 dr feelgood 4 too fast for love 5 motley crue 6 theatre of pain 7 saints of Los Angeles 8 new tattoo 9 geanration swine

9. Generation Swine 8. Theatre of Pain 7. Girls, Girls, Girls 6. Saints of LA 5. New Tattoo 4. 1994 3. Dr. Feel Good 2. Too Fast for Love 1. Shout At The Devil

Theatre of pain I would have as one of the top albums. Shout at the devil is the best motley album.

Shout At The Devil and Too Fast For Love are the only good Motley Crue albums.

Wow. I'll give you credit for not shying away from unpopular opinions. I can't see ANY universe that's SOAD and TFFL aren't at the top. I also love the Corabi album, but that's not the MC sound. They should have named themselves something different. Feelgood is 2-4 good songs, and a buttload of cheap filler. I think Girls and Theatre have better album cuts than Feelgood. I think Tatoo is underrated, but no way better than their first two.

"No. 6, Shout at the Devil...."👀 Well done, however....

I feel like you just don’t like old Crüe, putting Shout at the Devil 6th and having their self titled album first is criminal

I would put Shout at the Devil #1. I'm very surprised that you and a lot of the comments have such high praise for the 94' album. For me, Motley Crue just cannot have a different singer other than Vince Neil. Dr. Feelgood was such a disappointment for me. I remember hearing it when it came out and thought it just sounded too polished and pop oriented. The lyrics are also horrible on most of the songs. Dr. Feelgood, the song, is one of their best however IMO. Like most bands of the 80's, people generally just don't get into their later stuff much. For me, Crues last good album was Girls Girls Girls. I like Theater of Pain but I understand the criticism of it.

Dr.Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls and Shout At The Devil are my favorite Crue albums...didn't like Theatre Of Pain, I thought it was kinda overrated...I hated everything they did after Dr.Feelgood, I heard these albums once and I will never hear them again

How come you never review sporks? Like what are these things for? They don't scoop as well as a spoon and they don't poke as well as a fork. And most of the ones you get are cheap plastic and break anyway. I would rank them a 9/10.

I almost stopped listening when he said shout at the devil was number 6

I have never been a massive fan of motley crue. They were always way too over rated for my liking. Some good tracks but wildly inconsistent. I actually really like saints of Los angeles. it works a hell of a lot better than anything post self titled for my money, outside song writers be damned. The title track itself is awesome.

yo dude your comparing 1986 , 1987 to 1981 Bon Jovi was never heavy and you know about Rick Allen enough said. heres the correct list 5. Theatre of pain 4. Dr. Feelgood 3. girls girls girls 2. to Fast for love 1. Shout at the devil am I hearing this correctly that an album from 1994 is first place? what about tradition , rookie albums 1983 tears apart 1994?

WOW man,not on any day of the week is GENERATION SWINE a better all around record then THEATRE OF PAIN!!Theatre is by no means their best work but damn,SWINE is not even a Crue album,idk wtf that was!!I mean Home Sweet Home,Louder Then Hell and Keep ur eye on the Money are all better then anything on that record!!

How old r u?! What's with your little toys/

I understand your nr1 pick, but its simply tok far from motley crue to really be considered a proper album
