Top 10 Best Metal And Hard Rock CDs From The 80's

It was the best of times... it was the worst of times... of course of study we're talking about 80's music. Nothing beats out the heavy metal, difficult rock, and hair sets of the 80's. Here's our listing of the top 10 best metallic element / difficult stone CDs from that decennary (of course, most of these were first purchased on vinyl):

10. Twined Sister - Stay Hungry: Twined Sister introduced a whole new coevals to anthem rock. Their pictures had us cracking up and their music got the epinephrine pumping. Sure they looked pretty freaky in their drag-like outfits and makeup, but they knew how to compose songs that kicked ass. We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock had parents everywhere shaking in their boots. Burn in Perdition was even featured in Urine Wee's Big Adventure in a memorable scene. They even got us going with the powerfulness lay The Price.

9. Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In: Poison?!? What the Hell are they doing on this list? I don't cognize about you, but my friends and I had the top political parties and this cadmium was always playing. They were a sum political party band, which was captured on this release. Songs like I Desire Action, Talk Dirty to Me and Look What the Cat Dragged In were perfect for imbibing and picking up girls. They still travel on circuit and convey a couple of the 80's metallic element Acts with them. The shows are always merriment although I could make without C.C. Deville's guitar solos. When you have on a short ton of constitution and frizz up your hair, you're not going to be taken seriously as a guitar player.

8. Virgin Sir Richrd Steele - Lord Savage: Dave Defeiss have such as a distinct voice that you either believe it's really cool or it's really annoying. This release have a batch of catchy songs and even do keyboards sound good. Songs like We Are the Night, I'm on Fire, and Lord Savage still throw up today. The set is still around although I wouldn't urge any of the new material that came out after Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

7. AC/DC - Back in Black: The songs on this release have got been so overplayed that I'm almost loath to set this on the list. But it is one of the top difficult stone CDs of all time. Angus Og Young have more than energy than a 5 twelvemonth old on a refined sugar high. His guitar playing incorporated a nice touching of blues during the solos while his blood brother held down the tight rhythm. Brian Samuel Johnson always sounded like his vocal chords were shredded, which really worked on songs like Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, Back in Black, and Rock and Axial Rotation Ain't Noise Pollution. Of course, we can't bury about You Shook Me All Night Long. All classics.

6. Teeze - S/T: What? You never heard of this band? They released one of the best independent albums, then signed with a major label, changed their name to Roughhouse and released one of the crappiest CDs. If you travel to www.roughhouse-teeze.com/, you can pick up the self-titled cadmium that's listed here. You won't travel incorrect with songs like Party Hardy, Midnight Madness, When the Moon Is Full, and Going Away.

5. Iron Maid - Number of the Beast: "I am not a number... I am a free man!" The set still sounds amazing and they still set on great unrecorded shows. And they still play three songs from this release - Number of the Animal (with the classic Vincent Price intro), Run to the Hills, and Hallowed Be Thy Name. David Bruce Emily Dickinson took over the vocals for Alice Paul Di'anno and took this set to the adjacent level. He provided a melodic voice that matched the typical guitar and bass sounds.

4. Assortment Crue - Cry at the Devil: I already had worn through my transcript of Too Fast for Love when Cry at the Satan was released. When I saw the picture for Looks that Kill, I was blown away. This looked like a clump of the greatest bad buttocks at the time. They became larger than life with their narratives of sex, drugs and stone 'n roll, and this cadmium captured it all perfectly. After Vince got out of jailhouse from the auto accident that killed Razzle, they just didn't have got the same sound any more. They released some catchy songs but I don't believe they ever released another cadmium where all the paths were memorable.

3. Metallica - Drive the Lightning: Metallica knew how to compose boot buttocks songs in the 80's. They followed up Kill 'Em All with Drive the Lightning, taking their sound to the adjacent level. Their song authorship got better and the production really helped gaining control their crunching guitars and Hetfield's powerful voice. These were serious caput banging songs - Fight Fire with Fire, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Trapped Under Ice, and Creeping Death still throw up today. I could make without The Call of Ktulu but that's only a minor complaint. If you ever desire to acquire the epinephrine going, set this cadmium on and set the stereo system to 11.

2. T.T. Quick - Metallic Element of Honor: Not only are all the songs memorable on this release, but the production is amazing. With songs like Metallic Element of Honor, Child of Sin, and Come Beat the Band, this set had so much potential. The release just wasn't promoted properly and the set never really hit it large like they should have. They've released a couple CDs since then and drama unrecorded shows every once in a while.

1. Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction: Let me begin off by saying that I can't even listen to this cadmium anymore. It's been so overplayed on the radiocommunication and MTV (when MTV used to play music). But when this came out, I couldn't acquire adequate of it. The large treatment was whether Axl's voice sounded better on a song like It's So Easy and Mr. Brownstone or Welcome to the Jungle and Nightrain. Didn't substance though because every song was amazing. And it took about a twelvemonth for this cadmium to go immense so we were able to see the set drama at a 1000 place venue. They set on a great unrecorded show and even went on on time. Too bad they just couldn't acquire along off the stage.
