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

I like the albums by Priest, Dangerous toys, Coven, & Winger. Don't care for the rest on that list.

It's just someone's opinion, but it makes for interesting discussions and debates. I can see how he picked some of those and like I said, Hysteria would make my list as well.

I love the Frehley's Comet album.

Love Dangerous Toys too, but he does have a point with some of the lyrics. I mean "Sportin' a Woody"? Haha!

I don't agree with this list at all.

I like most of the albums on that list.

As far as worst album from the 80s, I think Lust Control would top my list with This is a Condom Nation.

Eat the Heat is a kickass album. These lists, subjective or not, are usually 100% ignorance.

funny that just half of those are metal and the other half are hard rock. I don't agree with the list though either. I personally feel Pantera and GnR should be in there. There are a lot worse than what is listed!!

I cant stand KISS' Crazy Nights and Im utterly sick of DL's Hysteria, so I'd agree with those picks.

Otherwise this guy can bite my shiny metal ass.

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.

I owned or have owned almost all of them.

Reading more of the article and this guy sounds pretty creepy. uh

This list wasn't made in the 80s though.

A list of worst '80s metal albums without any '80s metal albums. Nice.

As I mentioned, in the 80's, every single one of those albums were consider to be metal albums.

Still doesn't make them metal.

Do not agree at all. Several good albums on there.

I personally don't like that site one bit, some of the movie reviews i've read on there were pretty offensive, and they're music reviews are terrible if you ask me, so I definitely don't agree with any of the albums on the listen. Crazy Nights is one KISS's most underappreciated albums, Reach For The Sky is also underrated, Eat The Heat is decent for what it was, same with Turbo, Final Countdown is a classic for me, Dangerous Toys debut is pure fun, also love Winger, definitely disagree on Hysteria, as that was the album that got me into 80s rock in the first place.

I hate to say it as a W.A.S.P. fan but then it's also my duty to do so...'Inside The Electric Circus' is a horrible record, even Blackie thinks so. It might not make top 10 but at least top 15. They were burnt out and pressured by the label to get more commercial and it shows in a big way. Even though it has one of my favorite songs by the band which is 'Restless Gypsy'... most of the rest of it, considering the amazing band that put it out.......... the thing is a dud...

I disagree, I love Electric Circus and think it's an underrated album, I prefer to Crimson Idol, which I find a bit overrated.

Don't agree with a lot on that list.No way in hell Dangerous Toys should be in there.One of the best albums of the 80's is more like it.

Not that I'm a big fan of any of these albums, but there must be worse examples. Eat the Heat is pretty solid, Turbo isn't bad either. Others I don't care for, but still. There are far worse examples, especially when it comes down to simply unlistenable production. Like Satan's Host.
As for Inside the Electric Circus, I prefer the sold-out 80's sound of WASP to rock'n'roll leanings of Blackie's recent works. ItEC still surpasses the majority of 80's metal records, simply because its WASP.

Yep, my thoughts too! It's easy to ask any of us who were alive during the 80's what was consider METAL

Force 3 - Warrior of Light

I was going to utter the same thing MC did. How insulting... It would be like me telling someone who was a teenager or older in the late 60's, what the sociopolitical environment was really like, even though I wasn't even born yet.
