Ten Worst Albums of the 80's? Do you agree?

Ten Worst Albums of the 80's? Do you agree?
http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/961/10-worst-metal-albums-of-the-1980s/

I can agree with some. I can even agree with the inclusion of Kiss, who are one of my favorite bands, but Frehley's Comet should be no where near a list like this IMO.

I do agree with the number one choice though. :-)

There's far worse from that decade. I certainly wouldn't choose Reach for the Sky as the worst of Ratt's catalog. And why is Dangerous Toys in here?? Even the Europe album had some decent tunes. Albums like Theater of Pain and Open Up and Say Ahhh should be in here (I know that I'm in the minority here with that last title).

As much as people like to bitch about Winger, that album had 10 well-rounded, solid earworms that were well crafted for their target audience. It's a shame that album makes lists like these.

That review is full of shit, granted 'Crazy Nights' was not KISS's finest hour but its far from horrible, Ratt's album is decent even if its a blue print of their previous releases.

Winger is nowhere near my favorite band, but that is decent pop metal release, and he picks on Def Leppard only because they are an easy target. I think Hysteria is a great album if somewhat dated.

Ace Frehley's Second Sighting is a terrible album, his first Frehley's Comet holds up better then most releases of that era.

I like Europe, with the expection of the album listed, but listen to the title track and you will be humming damn song all day.

They are way worst albums then one's listed, this review blows monkey sacks.

I don't agree with the list at all.

Primarily:
-Frehley's Comet
-Dangerous Toys
-Winger
-Europe


With Europe, while I like Final Countdown, the song, to be sure, I feel most average people guage Europe as a whole by that song. That opening keyboard stuff from FC does not continue through the entire album, people.

I definitely agree with the #1 pick; Def Leppard with Hysteria.

Don't agree with the list. Crazy Nights is close to being KISS' worst album, but that honor belongs to either Peter Criss (if you consider it a KISS album) or HITS. Reach For The Sky was a let down at the time, but there is far worse that released. Winger? Yes, everyone loves to make fun of Winger but it's still a catchy album with some good songs. I don't agree with # 1 - I love that album!

ifake, don't agree. all of them are not flops of 80s there are so many other and much worst if u want.

I like a lot of those albums, so I def disagree with this list as well. Also under the genre "metal" this should of been a lot easier!

Worst metal albums of the 80s and there isn't a single Manowar album listed?  Epic fail.

Linkbait nonsense. Several of those albums are good.

I can't even think of what would comprise the worst metal albums of the 80s....off the top of my head, I cannot think of any 80s metal (or you know glam metal, as this list reflects) that I out and out hate.

Great White, aside from the debut, is a band I'm not big on...but even then, I can listen to their stuff as compared to a lot of other music out there.

I disagree with that list. Crazy Nights is a good album with alot of enjoyable tunes on it.I've never heard the Coven or Accept albums so I can't comment on them. But the Ace album is probably his best release from that era.

Dangeorus Toys is a good fun listen. I do admit that Europe is a bit iffy but still has some catchy tunes on it. The other 3 catch alot of flack but I like them.

That is probably the worst Accept album of the 80's, but still decent songs on it.

I am not a fan of Dangerous Toys one iota but they are telling this album is worse then Pretty Boy Floyd? Give me a break.

Is it time for the Killen jokes yet?

but true!

When I think about 'worst' albums, it's usually a band that I'd liked that then went and did something   

Stuff like

Raven - The Pack is Back
Saxon - Innocence is no Excuse
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Motorhead - Iron Fist (yeah! I said it!   )
Venom - Possessed
Kiss - Asylum (Alright, I know I'm no Kiss fan but there was nothing on that record for me)

and the worst offender



Helloween had been losing me since Keepers Pt 1, but Pink Bubbles was the final straw,

nah, worth owning for Sex & Outrage, (Don't Need) Religion (my personal theme song) and the title track.

Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz is my absolute favorite album of all time and has been since I bought in 1990.

I haven't heard the rest of the album, but if it's anywhere near as bad as the title track, this one would have to be up there:

The Great Kat

I can simply say that Ratt Reach for the sky is my least favourite.

But it is not a bad album.

I do not agree with the list.

It's funny that a list of the '10 worst metal albums of the 1980s' is made up of albums most would not consider metal albums. Fail!

While I'm sure there are other albums that I consider far worse I will say that I do not own a single album on this list and have no desire to.
