My belovedness of GNR is restricted to 1987 only. After that, they became Axl's Traveling Circus.

Dan, could you change the thread title to 20 instead of 50 please? I don't think jj is around.

Some of those metalsucks people are completely delusional, especially whoever it was that thought Cinderella could cough up a hit single these days. As for bands who can still make an album that's a worthy successor to their heyday discography, Dokken and Ratt have done so recently. It's one of the few musical subgenres where I in no way want the bands to grow musically and expand their color pallet. I want albums that sound exactly like the albums I was hearing 25 years ago.

with or without the vile ballads/power ballads?

I love power ballads! Well...good ones.

the viler the better i always say.
― ha, wolves, what a bunch of sissies (Ioannis), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:40 (thirteen years ago) link
In fact, there's a couple bands who should probably not exist otherwise if it weren't for their power ballads (Skid Row and Great White come to mind, because their heavier, rockier stuff was completely dire).
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Please tell me you dont rep for Warrant.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 13 August 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I like "Down Boys," but that's about it. I liked "Uncle Tom's Cabin" when it was new, but it definitely hasn't aged well at all. And yes, Warrant made TERRIBLE power ballads.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Skid row had mayb3 3 songs i liked, otherwise i couldnt see the fuss (2 obvious from the 1st and the title track of the 2nd)

if you discount gnr,def leppard & hanoi rocks, motley crue were the only decent one, even then only briefly. Later 80s stuff sucked.

Crue was never ever really a good albums band, but could write the hell out of a single every couple years. Def Leppard excelled in both areas, by quite a gigantic margin.

ok i guess i'll follow this thread now despite knowing fairly little about METAL. i hope to be educated@!

it's ILM, Johnny, you could do a poll of the Most Fun Hook-Filled Guitar Rock Albums of the 80s and something like The Cure would win
― some dude, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Okay you jokers - 20th place for the album that kicked it all off? Piss off. Don't call me, I'll call you.

I had much more hair metal in my tracks ballot. The albums I used to love haven't held up that well.
― sofatruck, Friday, 13 August 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Why do I always view ILM people as far more open-minded until poll time comes around? We talk about all kinds of stuff openly and pragmatically around here, until it comes time to vote. Then everyone goes back to their own weirdo corners.

oh chill out ez snappin and just enjoy the poll for what it is, a bit of fun.

Prolly a bunch of stuff from 1995-present that I've never heard of and would likely hate, and then some Zep, Sabbath, and maybe something I'm not expecting but will be happy about. xps

happens a lot in metal. Though pretty much every genre suffers from it.

sooooooo much this
Black Sabbath don't sound THAT heavy in the context of what's come since
suggest ban ->

on ILM metal seems to be split into pre 90 and post 90, and those who only listen to one of those camps are missing out BIG STYLE imo

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 15:01 (thirteen years ago) link
As far as post'90 '80s style metal goes, I was into Saigon Kick for their first couple albums. But then they kind of imploded after a tiny mtv hit (which of course was an acoustic ballad in the wake of "More Than Words").
