- 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" I also still to this day love Doctor Feel Good, that entire album is one of all-time favorites. I was all, they're anti-drugs now, there coming over the good side?!?! and then ..."zzzziiiiiipppp"! | |

| Well, I had a real hard time choosing between Stryper - To Hell with the Devil and White Lion - Pride. If this had been multiple choice I'd have voted both. However, I'd give the ever so slight edge to White Lion. I'd rank them: 1. White Lion - Pride 2. Stryper - To Hell with the Devil v v 3. Skid Row - Skid Row 4. Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In 5. Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil As far as Motley Crue goes - my favorite album is "Dr. Feelgood". |

| I voted Motley. The only other 2 in that list that I own are Skid Row & LA Guns, so I could've easily voted for either one of them as well. All three are good, but Shout at the Devil is probably the only one that still gets a fairly regular spin when I'm feeling nostolgic. | |

| I voted Vain's No Respect. Like i said in the previous Vain post its one of the few albums of this genre i like, its got a dynamic thats missing from the others or something i can't put my finger on. As for the others, no thanks. Maybe L.A. Guns first if only for the carry over of songs from the black leather punk Paul Black and Robert Stoddard daze of the band. And the odd song off Poison's LWTCDI for CC's ammusing (Sex) pistol- whipped guitar playing. | |

| That was a BRUTAL choice. There are some real gems on that list. I had to go with WHITE LION's PRIDE album. Stryper would be a very, very close second. But that White Lion album was instrumental in my discovery of metal. Up to that point, I'd only heard Christian AOR. When a buddy of mine played White Lion's Pride, I was like, "WHOA! Who is that?!" The rest is history. I became a metal fan that day. So, gotta go with PRIDE! | |

| Yeah it has that kinda mezmerising effect. I keep telling myself "why are you listening to this, these guys are a silly 3rd tier californian glam metal band", yet the album is undeniably brilliant. | |

| I guess it was alot harder back then to sift through the crap to get to the real gems like No Respect, cause for every Vain you had a hundred BulletBoys, Roxx Gang's, Shotgun Messiah's etc. | |

| You know it. Plus, we had no internet. We found out about bands through friends, mags and compilation cassettes. |

| When i read any article about the glam metal movement from a retrospective angle, this album is generally vaulted up their as one of the bona fide classics of that era. Theres actually been quite a bit of revisionist critical groundswell for the album over the last few years. Its as if people like you have just discovered it as well. | |
