Recognizing the difference between the two genres (glam metal is the heavier of the two, gritty, sleazy -- whereas hair metal would pretty much be your hard rock) ... out of both genres, what are your favorite bands?

By the way -- this thread isn't for arguing who isn't (or who is) glam or hair metal. All of us will see things differently. For instance, I see Wasp and Dokken as glam metal. You might not. Fine, no problem. We don't have to agree. Just list who your favorites are from the bands who ARE this style to you.

Top 20 please:


1. Britny Fox (this has been my fave glam metal band since 1989 when I was just 12 yrs. old)

2. Ratt
3. Kix
4. Twisted Sister
5. Bon Jovi
6. Winger
7. Motley Crue
8. Slaughter
9. Stryper
10. Dokken
11. Wasp
12. TNT
13. White Lion
14. Y&T
15. Def Leppard
16. Firehouse
17. Cinderella
18. Pretty Boy Floyd
19. Angelica
20. Vixen

Also, I would have included some of the new glam metal bands like The Last Vegas and Hardcore Superstar -- but they need more time IMO. The bands in my list have all been tried and true.

Twisted Sister
Dirty Looks
Dangerous Toys
Cinderella
Britny Fox
Ratt
Stryper
Fear Not
Slaughter
Skid Row
Kix
Broken Teeth
Sleeze Beez
Kiss (the non-make-up years)
Ratt
Tora Tora
Motley Crue
Holy Soldier
Quiet Riot
Y&T

I have a hard time labeling some of these bands "glam metal" and "hair metal". Twisted Sister were just pure heavy metal to me. Glam they were not. Ugly dudes in make-up, they were more properly labeled HID, 'cause they were hideous. The Scorpions, while they most certainly went that way, we one of the pioneers of traditional heavy metal. Uli Roth-era Scorps is far from "glam" or "hair" metal IMO. I love Motley Crue's first two albums, but these don't seem like glam or hair to me either. They were just traditional American heavy metal. But for argument's sake, I included some of these bands regardless.

While I listened/owned tons of it back in the day, I don't listen to much these days. As I got older, alot if it didn't age well to me and fewer still made the upgrade from tape to cd. Some that did however...

Cinderella
Heaven's Edge
Bang Tango (just their first 2)
D.A.D.
Enuff Z'nuff
some Dokken
Seduce
LA Guns
Faster Pu$$ycat (just the first 2)
Dangerous Toys

Probably a few others that I'm forgetting, but those listed still get fairly regular spins from me.

EDIT: add Jetboy and BulletBoys too.

I've actually been listening to a lot of this stuff over the past couple months and I've been receiving a lot of it in the mail. Listening to Lita Ford right now.

Cinderella
Def Leppard
Dokken
Tesla
Winger
Gotthard ? Do they qualify
Ratt
Wasp
Beautiful Creatures
Y & T
Motley Crue
Stryper
Dangerous Toys
House Of Lords
Black N Blue
Blue Murder
Whitesnake
Bon Jovi
Great White
The Scream
Siloam
Scorpions

Are you sure we can't debate whether these bands qualify? Y&T's early stuff is their best to me and doesn't fit these categories.
