- FINALLY... in this episode Bryan from the Hair Band Basement and I made the video everyone (or at least a few people) has been waiting for... we count down our favorite Hair Metal Album of ALL TIME. AND, we count em down from 10 to 1. You don't wanna miss this, so come along for the ride!
The suspense between each rating was killing me ! Great critical reflection of each album.
The video was a cool ride 😎
1) Badlands - S/ T
2) Motley Crue - Shout
3) Def Lep - Pyromania
4) Tesla - Mechanical
5) White Lion - Pride
6) Dokken - Back for the Attack
7) Great White - Once Bitten
8) Ratt - Cellar
9) Skid Row - Grind
10) Lillian Axe - Love & War
This list obviously includes “hair” metal only. If bands like Maiden, Queensryche, or Priest are to be included, every one of my top ten drops out of the top ten.
Great list, man. It was a bitch for me not to include Shout at the Devil or Mechanical Resonance.
Look, I'm here for two things: Eat french fries, and talk Hair metal, and it looks like I'm out of french fries...
Here's my top ten, no particular order:
-Alice Cooper/ Hey stoopid
-Europe/ Out of this world
-Scorpions/ Crazy World
-Wheels of fire / Begin again
-One desire/ Midnight Empire
-Eclipse/ Monumentum
-Ratt/ Detonator
-Zinatra/ The great escape
-Danger Danger/ Screw it
-Whitesnake/ 1987

10a, b, c, d. I see what you did there.
Love your list, man. I was so close to including Appetite and Revenge....
Ratts album is so powerful, it made the poster fall off the wall.
It has that effect on shit.
I could only do 5 that I could listen to every song on the album. 5. Operation Mindcrime, Bryan is correct about it, had somebody suggest it years ago wasn't disappointed. 4. L.A. Guns Hollywood Vampires, some reason I like every song on it. Warrant Cherry Pie and Dog Eat Dog both tied pretty much 3 & 2, or 2 & 3. Jani Lane, best singer songwriter of the era. and #1 always will be because it helped me through rough years as a teen in a bad era of my home life... Poison Flesh & Blood! also contains my favorite song of all time, as it reminds me of said rough times in life,... Life loves a tragedy.
Thanks for the list, Brother. I need to revisit Hollywood Vampires, it's been a long time. And I am right with you on "Life Loves a Tragedy," one of my favorite Poison songs of all time--should've been a single.
1. Ratt invasion of your privacy
2. Tesla mechanical resonance
3. Firehouse self titled debut
4. Kix blow my fuse
5. Ratt dancing undercover
6. GnR appetite for destruction
7. Skid row slave to the grind
8. Kix hot wire
9. Poison look what the cat dragged in
10. Ratt invasion of your privacy
Ratts my favorite of the sleaze genre btw
I could never pick out my top ten, my music tastes have changed so much as I get older, another great show as always, keep up the top work,recommend the mick wall podcast, he was a rock journalist and has great story’s from when music was good
Hey, thanks Brother, I appreciate it! I will go find Mick's page, thanks for the recommendation.
Top notch picks! I am gonna put my ten in no particular order:
Ratt- Out of the Cellar
Vain - No Respect
Blue Murder - S/T
Dokken - Under Lock and Key
Great White - S/T (could have went with Once Bitten too)
Kix - Midnite Dynamite (Blow My Fuse almost beat it out)
Badlands - S/T
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Tigertailz - Bezerk
LA Guns - Cocked & Loaded (I almost went with the first album)
Obviously albums like Appetite for Destruction and Whitesnake 87 are classics, but I'm kind of burned out from some of the songs on those albums.
Great list, man! I was really amazed when we got done and neither of us included Appetite, but I think you're right--you hear it so much that you kind of wore it out. Doesn't mean it's not a phenomenal album. Man, I was close to having Vain in my list. Thanks for all your support, Brother!
Slave to the Grind debuted at #1 in july of 91. They had alot of airplay in major markets across the US. Maybe not Fargo but I lived in Denver at the time and they played all their singles constantly.
That may be true about Denver, but if you check the national airplay charts, those singles bombed. Monkey Business didn't even make the Billboard Top 100 and Wasted Time only made it to 88.
Great show,

Total respect for having VH II on the list. A great album and often overlooked.
Great show with lots of great bands
Appreciate it, Brother!
so that Electric Angels Vocalist.... Shane.... is that the same Shane who sang for Law and Order?
Nope. That reminds me, I need to revisit that Law and Order album. Thanks for watching!
What a mind crime not having Appetite on either list. Just wow.
Haha, I completely agree. I love the album, but it's probably just become overplayed imo.
Cinderella... (IMO) only had 2 good songs Last Mile and Hard to find the words are A+. Gypsy Road and Push Push, start out sounding almost the same. Maybe 6 others that were ok, but the songs Night Songs and Nobodys Fool, I have tried and tried and tried, but those two are just awful songs. I know what opinions are like, I get it, as my channel name says Im workin on it and so ill see myself out. Still like the HairMetalGuru channel! lol
Haha, while I completely disagree with you about Cinderella, I appreciate you doing it in a non-asshole-ish way! And thanks for supporting the channel, man, I appreciate it!
1: Vain "no respect", Warrant "Cherry Pie", Quiet Riot "Condition Critical", Def Leppard "Hysteria" Firehouse "1st album" Sleeze Beeze "Screwed blued and tatooed" Ratt "1999 self titled" Sweet "desolation blvd" Motley Crue "too fast for love" Dokken "back for the attack" Tesla "the great radio controvercy" Enuff-Z-Nuff "self titled, strength and animals with human intelligence"
0:26 I want that on my gravestone.
Haha
Lets go!!!
Let's!
You need to hear High Gear and Now Hear this by Howe II!!!
Okay, I am listening to High Gear right now because of your suggestion. It'd better not suck! ;-)
@@HairMetalGuru419 OH IT DOESN'T, IT SLAPS😃😃😃
A band will not make it if the members dont get along,my favorite band is dokken and look what happened, they were on the verge of getting a huge payday to get along and keep going
I LOVE Electic Angels!
Same! That album deserved so much better...
Great, today I discovered thath Queensryche and AC/DC are hair Metal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. What a fucking channel 😅
I titled it favorite hair metal albums, but in the intro to the video I did say that it would include hard rock and heavy metal, not just hair metal. You know what Mick Jagger said, "It's only rock'n'roll, but I like it."
🤘🤘
Top three of all time: #3 gnr AFD, #2 Queensryche’s Mindcrime #1 Spinal Tap‘s Shark Sandwich, despite the review 😂
Shit Sandwich
I'm absolutely shocked that neither of included Appetite.
Operation mindcrime is a great album I seen them open up for Metallica and I was their to see Metallica and me and about 8 friends walked out queensrych fans outstanding band live also
Saw them do Mindcrime in its entirety in ‘91 and it was mind blowing. Best show I ever saw
Queenscryche isn’t HaIR MEtaL Bryan GAWD ! 😁
And you don’t remember the twisted sister albums because they just aren’t any good 😂🤘
Funny thing is that someone already said this same thing.
Dude.
@@HairBandBasement yea I seen them around 😁
@@HairBandBasementnot sure if you've heard all these but just ran across this today m.youtube.com/@UnheardVH
I love this music, but what is "Hair Metal"? I was on the Strip in the 80's and saw many great bands, but nobody called it "Hair Metal". The main terms that were used were as follows: "Hard Rock", "Glam Metal", "Pop Metal" etc... Anyway, I dig the show fellas. It's going to be pretty damn hard to come up with a Top 10. BTW, now in 2024 The Whisky A Go Go is still having "Hair Metal" concerts all of the time. Life is Good!
Hair metal is just a term used by people but originally used as a insult
I've made my peace with the term. I used to hate it, but I've gotten over it, and decided to embrace it. Check out a video I did a few months ago called "In Defense of the Term Hair Metal." Thanks for the kind words!
Man it's hard to pin it down to a top 10 but in no specific order mine would be.
1. Blue Tears-S/T
2. Magnum-On A Storyteller's Night
3. Pretty Boy Floyd-Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz
4. Motley Crue-Too Fast For Love
5. Melidian-Lost In The Wild
6. Alleycat Scratch-Deadboys In Trash City
7. KISS-Crazy Crazy Nights
8. Harem Scarem-S/T
9. Tigertailz-Bezerk
10. Smashed Gladys-Social Intercourse
I remember a PJ from Canada who liked a lot of these albums, he's the one who got me into Blue Tears. Absolutely in my top 10 too. Great list.
Melidian what a great record that one,the best on that list for me.
Fuck, I LOVE that Blue Tears album. Would've been easy to include here. Great list, Brother.
Queensryche is not nor will they ever be hair metal. I even fast forwarded thru that part. Ol buddy lost some cred with that ridiculous take!
Um, the episode starts with Guru saying “Top hair metal/metal/rock albums.” Queensryche is metal but thank you for playing.
And the joke is on you. I had no “cred” to start with.
@@HairBandBasement um the title is “our favorite hair metal albums of all time… from 10 to 1”. So ummm yeah… the joke isn’t on me. 😂
@@heathertiller3644 Oh, you got me! Thank you for the witty “tHaTs NoT hAiR MeTaL” argument that never gets old. Ever. But if you want to fast forward the show, then that’s your loss.
And the joke on you was my “cred.” And I still have none and that same joke still remains on you.
@@HairBandBasement oh there’s no argument, it’s simple, Queensryche is not now nor have they ever been hair metal. But we can agree to disagree!
I titled it favorite hair metal albums, but in the intro to the video I did say that it would include hard rock and heavy metal, not just hair metal. One of my top 10 was AC/DC's Back in Black, and they certainly aren't hair metal, along with Queensryche.
