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 jewelry4.) 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?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 20 August 2010 19:45 (thirteen years ago) link
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?

hey is anything from the 1st izzy stradlin & the ju ju hounds album allowed?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 20 August 2010 19:55 (thirteen years ago) link
I nominated every song on Appetite somewhere upthread.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 August 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
That first Ju Ju Hounds album is really good. I don't see why it wouldn't qualify.

i love that Ju Ju Hounds record but i think it'd be kinda silly to nominate anything from it here tbh
― richie goingham (some dude), Friday, 20 August 2010 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I say go ahead and nominate some tracks from the juju hnds. what is it - 1994 or something? i hqavent heard it, but it probably fits the spirit.

Feel free to veto if you want to slam shut the glam-goth door but it's not like anyone else will vote for...
Gene Loves Jezebel - Desire
― Chaim Poutine (NickB), Friday, 20 August 2010 20:31 (thirteen years ago) link
GLJ is really in a gray area. Around that time, they looked really hair metal but still sounded kind of new wave-y and postmodern. Hell, I still don't know how to classify the first couple GLJ albums.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 August 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
gene loves jeZebel was totally on hard rock radio, although I had only heqard Jealous at the time.
― meat by mistake (kkvgz), Friday, 20 August 2010 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, by the time "Jealous" came out they'd morphed into a legitimate hard rock band (oddly kind of like Drivin' N Cryin' at the same time). Go back a couple years and they were harder to define.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 August 2010 20:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I would and will vote for GLJ but it's a goth vote and not a hair metal one.
― Hey Jabulani! Pope of four four two. (aldo), Friday, 20 August 2010 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
'Jealous' kind of reminds me of a poppier Jane's Addiction tbh

Billy Idol - White Wedding

I wonder if "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is a stripper fave. Depends on the club, I guess.

Aerosmith - Rag Doll Aerosmith - Janie's Got a Gun Of course you could do DLLAL. That's precisely the era we are most trying to capture.

Anybody else remember No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims by D*A*D? I've always meant to hear some of their earlier stuff, but never have. Anyway, that whole album is good. But particularly

I used to love DAD. They changed their name for the same reason as Bomb Everything iirc.

Couple of years past the 93' cutoff, but White Zombie's "More Human than Human" is (or more probably was) a big strip club song.
I'd think it fits if the judge will allow it.
― earlnash, Friday, 20 August 2010 22:50 (thirteen years ago) link
It's in the spirit of the poll, definitely. Also, I love it.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 August 2010 22:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Not at all feeling that. I felt like White Zombie belonged in the actual metal poll. Weren't they nommed?
― meat by mistake (kkvgz), Friday, 20 August 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, the "stripper" thing isn't as central to the poll as all that. I was basically taking a joke from the other thread and playing it out. People were complaining about the lack of fun metal, hair metal, so this poll's about hair metal. Rock and roll. White Zombie's awesome, but they aren't part of that thing. They're more part of the 90s hard rock alternative thing.
― meat by mistake (kkvgz), Friday, 20 August 2010 23:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, I have a serious love for "More Human Than Human". It's a jam for me.
