It's great that neither of you guys like metal.

Pantera was the worst thing to happen to metal.

Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Motley Crue - Danger
Motley Crue - Bastard
Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
Motley Crue - Don't Go Away Mad
Van Halen - Unchained
Van Halen - Dance the Night Away
Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

At last, a poll in which this can feature ...

Mama's Boys - Needle in the Groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWsWRF3cY64

Loudness -- Rock n Roll Crazy Nights

You are the hero TONIGHT

I always liked the 85 re-recorded version of "Needle in the Groove." They had moved past Lizzy into full hair metal production style.

My Mama's Boys jam was "Hard 'N Loud"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5AYV3LAlwA

"We like it hard 'n loud (we love it hard 'n loud) because we're young and proud"

awesome poll idea, excited about this

David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose

David Lee Roth - Just Like Paradise
David Lee Roth - Perfect Timing

Sweet - Fox on the Run
KISS - Christine Sixteen
The Runaways - Cherry Bomb
Cheap Trick - Auf Wiedersehen
Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy
Quiet Riot - Metal Health

no zep, sabbath , deep purple or rainbow yet?

I think people should be very conscientious about which zep, sabbath, etc. etc. tunes are nominated. They will be subject to veto if they are some shit about Satan, fairies, elves, orcs, whatever.

Such songs should probably be limited themselves to such subject matter as "giving you every inch of my love" or "owning and operating a motor vehicle"

It does say "hard rock" in the thread title. They all qualify under that surely?

^ watch this guy, he'll be nomming the Manics next

Black Sabbath and certain aspects of LZ got their due in the metal poll.

Did the Manic Street Preachers wear spandex?

I can't really picture strippers dancing to Mob Rules or Achilles Last Stand.

More ideas:

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever
Bon Jovi - Bad Medicine
Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town

they lived their (richey era) life by the new york dolls manual

Thank you Darin, for thinking of the poor strippers.

Manic Street Preachers - You Love Us

is there a youtube companion thread?

the Hard Rock and Hair Metal nominations - YOUTUBE companion thread.

Now there is.

http://www.goodkarma.fr/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/richey-edwards.jpg

I'm going to have to review this MSP track, because the one in the last poll sounded like shoegazer or something.

if you veto stuff for being wimpy then there wont be much hair stuff!!! ;)

The following criteria will have to be met:

1.) Blues-based rock and roll.
2.) Created between the mid-70s and 1993 (release date of The Spaghetti Incident, which slammed the door on the whole enterprise AFAIC).
3.) By performers wearing makeup/hairspray/spandex/leather/gypsy scarves and jewelry
4.) Probably been heard in one or more of the following: strip club/tilt-a-whirl/pool hall/Camaro.

It seems like a real outlier. I can't listen to it now, because I'm at work, but I'll check it out.

btw how are you weighting the votes? and what are the min & max amount of tracks everyone can vote for?

Don't know how I'm weighing the votes or the max # of tracks yet. I should probably cap the nominations at 50 songs per person, unless anyone objects?

5) sexist lyrics/videos?

;)

"what's wrong with being sexy?"

Spinal Tap is on UK GOLD tonight btw

lol xpost

lol

Guns 'N Roses - It's So Easy

hey is anything from the 1st izzy stradlin & the ju ju hounds album allowed?

I nominated every song on Appetite somewhere upthread.

That first Ju Ju Hounds album is really good. I don't see why it wouldn't qualify.

Guns N' Roses - One in a Million
Guns N' Roses - Patience
Aerosmith - Dream On
Van Halen - Jump
Alice Cooper - Only Women Bleed
Black Sabbath - Changes
Led Zeppelin - Dancing Days

I kind of hate it myself, but this poll would be incomplete without...

Europe - The Final Countdown

Do Queen qualify?

they qualify on all 4 counts easy

I have lots of hard-zinging responses to much of the above, but i will concede that this really isn't the thread for it, and that i may well be ignorant of a scorched-earth campaign by some dude, and balls probably does have a better handle than I do on message-board civility so ehh, let's either get back to the strippers or call it a night. wish me luck with the storms y'all, i'mma go bike up amsterdam to max caffe, if any of y'all are NYCers and would like to resolve this through thumb-wrestling

xxpost that kind of sums it up too i think!

good luck usa casino

good luck all of you with the storms!

hey how's life can you find any 80s strippers named sandy? there had to have been hundreds

change it to 'sandi' and we're talking thousands

http://d1nx6mcwdpv1xd.cloudfront.net/images/fleshbot/2008/07/2008_07_18_sandykane.jpg

: )

what would the most common stripper names be?

Can't wait to finally vote in this poll!!

This poll's still a year or more out probably, but I think when I get back to it, I'm not gonna veto anything, so if anyone wants to vote for like, gene loves jezebel or manic street preachers, go for it. In the meantime, I've been catching up with some of the suggestions from upthread.

Forgot about this one!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdpMx0-AlDs

Hahaha, this sucks! I don't think I ever heard House of Lords while they were out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMchbwtTkVI

This is the longest song I've ever heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kad4tnx4Oa8

This will be here before we know it. Better brush up on Slave Raider:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdwRNama9EA

I never heard that Dirty Looks album, but I loved the one that came out before it. xp

Good to know! Will investigate. I remember seeing an ad for the screw one in some magazine when I was a kid, but I don't think it ever turned up at my Sam Goody.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaRNewUXsjw

"shooby-dooby-do-wah!" oh, this is great! :D

Fortunately this one's on Spotify. Turn of the Screw isn't, though, so I might never hear it.

Mechanical Resonance has always been the Tesla album that I stan for the hardest, but when I got to really looking at the songs, I realized The Great Radio Controversy has a lot more standouts.

I gotta confess, this is the kind of the post that makes ILM "worth it". like I was just wondering, "who in the 2010s stans for Tesla" & I found my answer. love will find a way.

(was gonna talk about "Love Song" & its ur-Zep structure but it's more fun to think about Tesla standom, which I have like 100% respect for, rock on)
