25 Best & Worst Hair Metal Bands Ever

Please don't mention The Cult in the same breath with those other shit bands...

 

WASP on the worst list? Hasn't this idiot heard "Fuck Like A Beast"? Blackie Lawless would fuck this guy up. Disgraceful...

Never, ever thought of Loverboy as hair metal (Mike Reno was going bald for fuck's sake). I'd have to think for a while for lousy Canadian hair metal bands (don't say Rush).

 

Now there's a phrase you'd never think you'd hear.

I present to you truly the worst hair metal band -- Pretty Boy Floyd:

And don't push me, or I might have to post some Quireboys.

 

Actually, the one for me was: Poison put out three or four great albums.

 

I saw Cinderella 13 times... 12 as an opening act and once they headlined a festival type show with a bunch of other bands...

I would argue that Poison's first three albums were pretty damn good at the time when they came out...

There... Enough defending myself...

 

Lee Aaron? Killer Dwarfs?

 

I'm not a hair-metal fan myself, but I would accept any argument that Tom Kiefer had some actual talent.

 

Lee Aaron's a jazz singer now. Killer Dwarfs were shit, regardless of the genre.

 

From Metal Queen to jazz? Not a stretch...not at all.

 

I know a guy who knows here (she's form my neck of the woods) and he said she told him she always wanted to be a jazz singer. The big, bad record company types made her become the metal queen.

 

I did hear her do a fine rendition of O Canada in the Soo a few years back.

 

Highly underrated hair metal band: Kix

LA Guns put out one really good album as more of a biker band with Sex Action and Electric Gypsy on it...

Then they hit it big as a hair band with The Ballad of Jayne. That album sucked...
