Shout At The Devil for me. It was one of the albums that got me into metal in a big way.

Shout at the Devil is my pick, with To Hell with the Devil a close second.

Stryper-To Hell with The Devil for sure.It holds so many memories of my teen years.I had just became a christian and was trying to limit the amount of secular stuff I listened to.Of Course that didnt last long.

If only you had put Invasion instead of All Systems Go, it would have been a no-brainer.

I wavered between Stryper and Killer Dwarfs, but the Bumblebees got my vote.

Poison for me!

Skid Row. Shout At The Devil would be a close second, but I like Skid Row's debut a bit more.

Poison

LA Guns -S/T. That album is almost a flawless sleaze album. They should have been bigger than GNR.

To Hell With The Devil is my pick with

2. Shout At The Devil
3. All Systems Go
4. Stand Tall
5. Skid Row
6. Crazy Nights (I love Kiss, but this was not one of their better records. They were trying too hard to be Bon Jovi)

Almost went with Stryper's TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL but finally picked the L.A. Guns debut. The first L.A. Guns still sounds great today, while certain bits of the Stryper disc haven't aged very well

Went with the s/t deput of Skid Row, mainly because I never heard the entire track list of the other albums (except Shout At The Devil). Also because 18 & Life, Youth Gone Wild, and I Remember You are three of my favorite songs of all time. In the future I will be getting To Hell With The Devil so it will remain to be seen if I like it more.

I hate the term HAIR METAL but my fave record of the ones you listed is;
POISON:LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN. A great GLAM METAL album.

Road Warrior Number of posts : 17180 Age : 48

Skid Row! I have fond memories with that record but i also liked the first LA Guns a lot too.

Guest

The first LA Guns is the only good LA Guns, imo.

Guest

I like Cocked & Loaded too, but that's as far as I went with them. But really Guns N Roses only has one good album as well and they are "legends".

Guest

Legends to the mainstream. Nobody here cares about the mainstream though.

Okay...I shocked myself a little on this one! I LOVE Stryper, always have, the very first metal I ever heard in gradeschool! However, a very BAD, EVIL cousin of mine had Shout At The Devil - MC??? Which he copied on tape for me...oh I felt like I was a BAD A!@#, A REAL REBEL, Like i was really sneaking and getting away with murder. Okay I was sneaking and listening to it in my closet.

So, I voted Motley Crue.....guilty pleasures revealed!
MICHAEL I LOVE YOU, I'M SORRY MICHAEL, NOOOO OZ, I LOVE YOU TOO, REALLY ROBERT, YOUR THE BEST!!!!!!

"Shout" was the last Crue album I really liked. At the time I thought "Dude, they have a PENTAGRAM on the album cover, there's a song on it called "God Bless The Children of the Beast," and there's a warning on the inside of the tape that it might have backwards messages! IT DOESN'T GET MORE EVIL THAN THIS!"

Then of course, two years later they came out with THEATRE OF PAIN, they were dressed like drag queens on the back cover (not only did Vince Neil kill Hanoi Rocks' drummer, but he stole their wardrobe as well!), and they were singing "Home Sweet Home"... my immediate reaction was "WTF is this crap?"

I haven't bought a Crue album since. It was a tough lesson for a 14 year old to learn about bands "selling out" Smile

Theatre of Pain was the first Crue album I ever owned. I stole it, but I owned it just the same.
I had heard Shout before, and dug it.
So I still kinda like Theatre of Pain, but in 85 when I was 10 it was the schizz-nit.
