08.19.19 | Probably the coolest era of mainstream music ever. |
bloc
08.19.19 | Check Sword - Metalized bro |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | Yeah dude, I've never heard this. Listening now and first song gives good first impressions m/ |
SitarHero
08.19.19 | How is this not a BigHans list? Good stuff, but a couple of things.
1. We All Die Young >>>
2. Living Colour and Savatage are NOT(!!!) nor have ever been hair metal! WTF! If it's just generally mainstream '80s rock/metal then you need some Van Halen, Faith No More and King's X on this list too.
3. List needs some Extreme and Mr. Big! |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | Hans and I have a lot of overlap to say the least haha. "We All Die Young" is a classic for sure- especially the version in Rockstar. The regular Steelheart version still rips.
And yes, list is not strictly hair metal by the way. Just any songs sort of within that realm and era that crushed. |
budgie
08.19.19 | cool list idea, good to see wild child here, and heaven's on fire! awesome picks
got to say though when i saw the title first tracks i thought of were uh cum on feel the noize/metal health and wheels of steel! |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | For sure! I kid you not Metal Health was about to be the 51st song I put on here but I was like "ah, nah, as a matter of principal I got to keep it at 50." And yeah dude, "Wild Child" is one of my all time favorite songs of any genre. |
budgie
08.19.19 | ah hell yeah. have you ever heard crystal knight or heavy load? |
EoinCofa
08.19.19 | Leatherwolf - Hideaway
TNT - 10,000 Lovers (or Last Summer’s Evil)
White Lion - Hungry
Babylon AD - Bang Go the Bells
Icon - On Your Feet
Rough Cutt - Dreamin Again
Warrior - Fighting for the Earth

08.19.19 | FEEL MY HEAT TAKING YOU HIGHER |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | @budgie, I've always meant to listen to heavy load and haven't. Never heard of Crystal Knight, but will listen to both tonight or tomorrow.
@Eoincofa, dope I don't know a few of those, will need to jam. m/ |
BallsToTheWall
08.19.19 | Baller list! |
BallsToTheWall
08.19.19 | Ratt’s Back For More And Wasp’s The Torture Never Stops are my go to bangers. |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | Balls that first WASP record is soo fucking good. People just forget about it in the context of metal and the early-to-mid 80's. |
BallsToTheWall
08.19.19 | Very true. Even their Dying record in the 00’s has a fuck ton of bangers. Like Shadow Man. |
TheSpirit
08.19.19 | wrong motley album but admirable list |
BigHans
08.19.19 | One of the greatest lists in Sput history.
|
BigHans
08.19.19 | 30 has one of the greatest soft intro/hard jam explosion moments ever |
MrSirLordGentleman
08.19.19 | damn this list is legit af |
BigHans
08.19.19 | Winger Pull is underrated hard. Great hair band goes grunge record |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | Thanks dudes. And as far as "One of the greatest lists in Sput history."....means a lot coming from the mayor of Riff City. m/
And yeah Winger's Pull is probably their best record start to finish. "Spell I'm Under" is another Winger favorite of mine off of it. |
0GuyMan0
08.19.19 | Props for including Firehouse. Those dudes are way underrated. Just as good as Dokken, in my personal opinion.
I'd substitute some of the singles for better deep cuts, but dope list anyway. |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | Firehouse has some retarded songs that they're clearly trying to appeal to the masses with, but their good stuff is TOP notch agreed, man. |
teamster
08.19.19 | Please take 42 off this list right fucking now before I puke... |
DominionMM1
08.19.19 | love me some 80s kiss and alice cooper |
Dewinged
08.19.19 | "Leatherwolf - Hideaway
TNT - 10,000 Lovers (or Last Summer’s Evil)"
Uffff get on these Kj, I couldn't have said it better, specially Leatherwolf, incredibly underrated band.
I would add some House of Lords, some Poison, some Tokyo Blade (they had a hair m. phase) but yeah, list rules. Glad to see some love for the genre here. |
KjSwantko
08.19.19 | "Please take 42 off this list right fucking now before I puke..." lol *laughs and goes back to hard jamming*
Dewinged, will jam all of this stuff rec'd over the next few days, man. Not familiar with Tokyo Blade (the Night of the Blade album is rated well so I'll do that) at all, so, dope. Poison I left off by design...just been a band that irks me, although I can definitely see why most would put some Poison bangers. |
Emim
08.20.19 | Ooh that Stryper though. Fantastic list, my man |
teamster
08.20.19 | Kj - it’s the equivalent of hearing Queensryche on SiriusXM radio’s Hair Nation channel - how dare they lump them in with those glam bands. A slap in the face. |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | Thanks brother m/.
As far as Stryper, the single most underappreciated band of that era. Great guitar playing, Michael Sweet could belt 'em out with anyone, and they just had a really unique sound and style. |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | All good, man. There's a lot of stuff on here that isn't directly hair metal. When I put "80's/Hair" I didn't mean to imply I consider these all hair bands. They're clearly not. "80's & Hair" probably would've been a better title. |
teamster
08.20.19 | McAuley Schenker Group - gimme your love ... |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | Rules! Just found out it's not even on Spotify though, this is retarded. Silver lining: forgot all about McAuley's "Anytime" and ripping that now. m/ |
EoinCofa
08.20.19 | ^ yeah - MSG’s Love is not a Game |
teamster
08.20.19 | Yep not on iTunes either - Wtf, do they want to regulate themselves to the county fair circuit only or do they want more exposure? |
oltnabrick
08.20.19 | ALICE COOPER POISON |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | Yeah, right. I get streaming is terrible for artists generally, but at some point you've got to acknowledge it's 2019 and get on board. |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | oltna, rules so hard. Alice seems gimmicky sometimes but dude has put out some killer music. |
Source
08.20.19 | I like 32 |

08.20.19 | "Kj - it’s the equivalent of hearing Queensryche on SiriusXM radio’s Hair Nation channel - how dare they lump them in with those glam bands. A slap in the face."
Teamster, I'm so fucking happy with you right now |
Dewinged
08.20.19 | In defense of teamster, I am not sure Wasted Years would help you get laid lol |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | When put in that context, I really cant even argue it haha. So fine, we all agree its slightly out of place, but it still fuckin' rules, so! |
Dewinged
08.20.19 | Definitely, one of my favorite tracks of them. |
rockarollacola
08.20.19 | Glad to see somebody else on this site has similar taste to mine. |
KjSwantko
08.20.19 | I listen to every genre of metal and rock, but yeah dog, there's still a few of us holding down the fort for this era especially. m/ |
