Out of the Gate - American Style

I am lazy - and you already know these albums.

Ratt easily. You Think You're Tough is a personal favorite.

I just love the sh*t out of Too Fast For Love. One of my personal favorite albums. I do really like all the rest of the choices though especially Breaking The Chains by Dokken. I also have a really cool version of the W.A.S.P. debut in a double CD media book with tons of cool pics and bonus tracks.

Ratt I suppose.

I love all five, too. But Motley beat out WASP on sheer plays on my iTunes.

You forgot the "Out Of The Night" EP by Great White

I went with WASP.

Dokken is the bottom of the barrel from that list.  Still a good album.

I voted for W.A.S.P, barely over the CRUE and RATT

Glad you got my lil' rippage....

Motley for me.  It was one of the first metal albums I had and a gateway drug to the larger metal world for me.  I still think it's one of their best albums, if not their very best.  I like all the other albums as well.

Crue > Wasp > Dokken > Ratt > QR

I'll go with Ratt

Crue for me. It and Shout are their best material.

WASP > RATT > MOTLEY CRUE >>> DOKKEN > ...about 10,000 miles gap... > QUIET RIOT

Oooo...... That would have been a good one!

That Ratt EP is the best thing they ever did, and I still enjoy it today.

W.A.S.P. - W.A.S.P.

Mötley Crüe > RATT (slimmest of margins) >> Dokken >> W.A.S.P. >>>>>Quiet Riot

1. RATT
2. Mötley Crüe
3. W.A.S.P.
4. Quiet Riot
5. Dokken (any of their next three subsequent albums would have topped the list for me)

W.A.S.P. for me

All five were early staples for me but that W.A.S.P. debut is still in my personal Top Ten of all time. I want a copy of that thing buried with me when I die.

...and by sheer coincidence, it's in my listening pile for today!

W.A.S.P. for me too

Ratt barely beats out Dokken for me.

Dokken - Just by a hair over Ratt.
Ratt - I love that Ep and You think Your Tough is an excellent tune.

I would put Armored Saint here if they were a choice.

There is a definite large separation for me here.........

Quiet Riot - I dug this album back then and Slick Black Cadillac is still my favorite tune from them, but, don't remember the rest.
W.A.S.P. - I had this album and then taped over it with something else. Raven, Metallica or some kind od comp.
Motley Crue - I liked Shout much better.

Dokken for me.

I never could get into Ratt and the others are just "meh" to me.  Plus I have a soft spot for that Dokken album because it's one of the ones I won on vinyl back in the day from a radio station in Tennessee.

W.A.S.P.
