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.

Yeah, I knew there were gonna be people who disagreed with what I consider 'glam or hair' metal. It's not a big deal.

I agree with you that early Twisted Sister was heavy metal. But with each successive album, they got more and more commercial. By the time that "Love Is for Suckers" came out -- they were certainly a full-blown glam metal band. That's just how I see it though.

Frankly I wouldn't count Y&T in that group at all. Black Tiger, Mean Streak, Earthshaker, are more metal aren't they??


Just like I told Ult above regarding Twisted Sister. Yes, Y&T was more of a heavy metal band with the albums you mentioned, but by the time "Contagious" hit the streets -- followed by "Ten", Y&T was a full blown glam/hair metal band. And those were their two best selling albums too.

So because of the 'evolution' of certain bands ... who may have started off heavier ... I will still see them as 'glam metal', as their legacy will testify to that.

Heck, even early Wasp was more heavy metal. But by the time "Headless Children" came out ... followed by "Crimson Idol", they were a FULL BLOWN glam metal band.

Glam metal isn't even so much about the 'look' as it is the 'sound'. A lot of people don't realize that.

And even "glam metal" isn't "granular" enough.

There's a big difference between a band like Hardcore Superstar and say, The Quireboys. I still say we need a sub-subgenre called something like "Honky Tonk glam rock".

True but this touches my favorite style of music so I guess I take it a little too personally when I see bands lumped in that I don't think belong. Normally, I'm not a genre nazi and couldn't care less how people classify music but this is MY music dammit! Who are your favorite glam metal and hair metal bands? - Page 2 11840
