    For me 1. Motley Cure
    2.RATT
    3.Dokken
    4.Cinderella
    5. White lion
    But I will say this. It was hard for to pick me being a born 1980 i remember alot of these bands/albums but always considered a lot to just be rock n roll.
    I also liked Poison but I really like Native Tongue 93. Skid row is up there as well but more straight up metal/hard rock
    Around early 2000’s
    Sask place had a tour RATT, Dokken(no lynch tho) warrant and La guns tickets were 20$ if memory is correct but canceled last minute due to poor ticket sales
    Did see La Guns tho at the wash’N’slosh in stoon great guys same with great white seen them there aswell.
    Great video Darcy

    Hey Darcy! This is a bit tough. Cinderella would be an honorable mention. Shake Me is still one of my favorite songs ever. Black N Blue would be another honorable mention I absolutely loved their Nasty, Nasty album that Gene Simmons produced. I played that tape to death I'm surprised it still plays today. 5) Motley Crue- Shout at the Devil, but I also am very fond of Theater of Pain. 4) Dokken- Under Lock and Key. Personally to me albums 2-4 are absolutely amazing and not a bad song to be found. 3) Bon Jovi- Keep the Faith. I really loved their first 5 albums. Not sure if they are really glam? 2) Ratt- Detonator. To me these guys just don't have a bad album but there is just something with Detonator and I love it to this day. 1) Poison- Open Up and Say... ahh. Poison just had us. What can I say. Darcy you take care my friend and as always stay heavy!

    1. KROKUS - Headhunter
    2. Britny Fox - Boys in Heat
    3. Warrant - Cherry Pie
    4. DOKKEN - Back for the Attack
    5. RATT - Reach for the Sky
    6. Honorable Mention - STRYPER - Against the Law

    Another great vid Darcy, I like that you make the point that many of these bands had shorter discography’s and it can be hard to classify some bands - a group I really like is Lizzy Borden but don’t know they fit under hair metal although some websites mention they are.
    Anyway, here are my top 5 hair bands in no particular order:
    1. Faster Pussycat - solid discography prior to the shift to industrial sleaze.
    2. Kix - Blow My Fuse is in my top 5 hair metal albums.
    3. Cinderella- like you said, solid discography minus Heartbreak Station - Night Songs is a masterpiece!
    4. Skid Row - three albums with Bach were solid to great and Rachel Bolan’s ear to nose chain was so bad ass back in the day - you know it was!
    5. Killer Dwarfs - gotta put these Canadian guys in.

    I had to pause this video early on to play the Night Songs title track, such a great song. Anyway, Bigtime Ratt n Roller here too, still one of my favorite metal/hard rock bands even though I get shit from some metalheads for it, but whatever. I've seen Ratt or Pearcy solo at least 5 times over the years, including front row center on their 'Invasion' tour. As far as the Crue, I was obsessed with Shout at the Devil when it came out and played that record over and over. Was particularly obsessed with Vince Neil and was 'inspired' by him to become a singer as a young pup. Great stuff as usual, thanks for the content.

    Hi there Darcy! It’s always nice to hear from you, I’m currently going down the memory lane with my collection of Vader albums, dunno if your familiar with that band, but that’s definitely one of the very best European (they’re from Poland) metal bands of all time. Another one of my favorites is Decapitaded, they’ve been thru a lot I recommend you to look it up. I’ve never been that much into glam, but definitely gonna add some of your favorite to my playlists to see what’s this all about. Take care my man and Up the Irons! 🤘

    The new Winger album is amazing. This is a band that just seems to get better with each successive album. IV is definitely hard to source. My copy of IV is a promo cd in a cardboard sleeve, which I found for a relatively reasonable price. I got lucky with that one. My favourite Dokken album is actually Under Lock And Key, which tends to surprise people. I agree about Erase The Slate, as that’s such a good album.

    You can’t go wrong with Ratt’s first two full length albums. The guitar riff on ”Lay it down” is perfection. Winger is another great band. The first three, ”Karma” and ”Seven” are great stuff. Dokken is another favourite of mine. Everything up to ”Back for the attack” is essential. And the solo album ”Up from the aches” is great. I’m gonna have to check out ”Erase the slate”.
    I must admit that I think it’s difficult to put bands in different metal genres. There are many bands aside from the ones in your list that I think could fit into this ”glam genre” but I’m not sure. I agree with what you said, for me it’s just metal! Take care Darcy!🤘

    Hi Darcy! For me is this Genre of Metal more Hair Metal than Glam Metal. In my Opinion is Hair Metal a Time Periode in the late 80s, where Metal is more popular than ever. MTV Music Videos, and young Men with Hairspray and beautyfull Girls. Ratt, Winger, White Lion, Poison and a hundred other Bands with endless rotations on MTV until the Grunge Time bring them all to an End.
    Glam for me are the older Bands like KISS, Slade or Alice Cooper. I say Glam Rock and Hair Metal. When i must choice, I take Hair Metal as my Favorit Metal Genre. So many Great Singers great Guitar Players and great Songs in a short Time of Music History. Greetings from Bavaria. Uli

    Yeah,although I am generally into a really HEAVY stuff,I like the Cinderella's debut album. I also like Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi. The best album they did.I like Twisted Sister and guess what,have you ever heard the Queen's debut album? Their first live performances were just...pure hard rock /early metal gigs,Brian May delivering killer riffs and Freddie in those leather black suits - amazing stuff!

    It's actually not an easy list to make because as lots of great albums but not long and great careers. Night Songs and Long Cold Winter great but they just fell off after that for me. Wingers inclusion was a bit of a shock. I really don't know them well enough to judge though. If ever there wasn't a rock star name it's Warren 😂. Although not exactly glam I'd have to put Dogs damour on my list as those first 3 albums are 9 out 10s. That genre seems to be strong for no more than a couple of albums though in most cases making it hard to justify. Kiss...are they not considered in that style. Id have to include them too.

If so, I like that! Y&T maybe? Very underrated band, at least here in Europe. I don´t consider those two bands Glam at all.

    I really don't get why people whinge and moan so much about record labels releasing a product. Nobody is forcing them to buy the latest reissues. Record labels need to turn a profit or they go out of business. I haven't bought any of the box sets by the bands in your video as i don't like enough of their back catalogues to justify spending that amount of money on them. That's why it's great when they reissue them seperately as i can pick up the ones i like. If they did a Cinderella vinyl box though, i would definitely get that one. People seem to forget that nobody is forcing them to buy any of these releases and just because they have already got the albums doesn't mean other people haven't.
