For Your Consideration:

"slide it in"

what's that song about?

sex

Much like Foreigner, and the lives of many men, the Whitesnake trajectory is from sex songs to love songs.

I had no idea there were 2 versions of "Here I Go Again."

the first is a duet with Carly Simon.

Hobos vs Drifters

"Still of the Night", followed by "Slow and Easy", followed by "Here I Go Again"

"Slow An' Easy" is far and away the greatest thing they've ever done.

"Slow an' Easy" for me - 1/2 wannabe Zep + 1/2 wannabe Y&T = magic.

It's a shame "Spit It Out" wasn't a single.

the first is a duet with Carly Simon.

hilarious, whether you're kidding or not

haha

Dude. Whitesnake handily pre-date the horrific likes of Y&T.

Actually, no. Y&T's first album was in the mid-70s, and their "breakthrough" was in '81. Slide It In came out in '84. Obviously, Coverdale's stuff with Purple was earlier, but it didn't have this sound.

You CANNOT tell me, however, that Coverdale heard that Y&T and attempted to emulate them. Sorry, you can't. Nyah.

Whitesnake's A&R might have, though...

er, A&R guy

"Slide It In" for sure.

Y&T formed in 1974

Y&T were, if not hugely popular, at least pretty well-known in the UK (Metal division) by the early 80s so there's no reason at all that Coverdale & Co. couldn't have been influenced by their sound. Whitesnake strike me as a band that definitely adapted to what was popular.

I was never sure which bandname was more irritating: Yesterday And Today or Y&T.

I'm w/Alex. "Slow 'n Easy" it is.

here i go again, in part because the remote viewer used the lyrics in an album title of theirs

>Whitesnake strike me as a band that definitely adapted to what was popular.

Coverdale fired the entire band prior to making their U.S. breakthrough album, so yeah.

I don't like them (any lineup) enough to vote in this poll.

This poll requires intense deliberation.

Is "Don't Break My Heart Again" an alternate title for "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again?" Because I could definitely be voting for that one.

"Slow an' Easy", with "Love Ain't No Stranger" a close second. John Sykes made this band great.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Well this will appeal to someone, I have no idea who:
