The Ballad of Jayne

Maybe more like a high-brow True Sounds of Liberty?

 

Don't you dare sully the name of TSoL!

 

Extreme didn't so much choose the hairy path as had it thrust upon them. I mean, geez, their first album had songs about Christ's crucifixation...and another song from the perspective of an aborted baby. And the second and third albums were concept albums. But at that point, if you had long hair and played loud guitars, you were hair metal, even if you used horns and had chops a mile long.

They were probably a lot closer to Queen than LA Guns.

Edit: Those first two albums are still fucking good, BTW. If you don't like...what you see here...GET THE FUNK OUT!!!

And Queensryche was some awful hybrid of Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd in the early days before they thankfully morphed into something less sucky for Mindcrime and Empire.

 

Perhaps a less erudite Green Jelly?

 

Three pages and no mention of "Fuck Like a Beast?"

Oh, wait, this isn't a love songs thread.

 

More like a vertically challenged version of Corrosion of Confromity.
