I'm 35 years old and even I was born in the wrong decade, lol. I feel anyone who's currently 40 and under who likes this kind of music missed out on everything. 😔
Great video!! 👏👏 My top 30 (not in order of preference): Van Halen I , Autograph Loud And Clear, Giant Time To Burn, Dokken Under Lock And Key, Harem Scarem Mood Swings, Motley Crue Too Fast For Love, Pretty Boy Floyd Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz, White Lion Pride, Whitesnake 1987, Warrant Dog Eat Dog, Poison Flesh And Blood, Cinderella Long Cold Winter, Skid Row Skid Row, Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet, Europe Out Of This World, Def Leppard Hysteria, Firehouse Firehouse, Mr.Big Lean Into It, Winger Winger, Vixen Rev It Up, Ratt Dancing Undercover, Wig Wam (from norway) Wigwamania, Crazy Lixx (from sweden) No Religion, Rafa Martin (from spain) Corazon De Hierro, David Lee Roth Eat 'em And Smile, Guns n Roses Appetite For Destruction, Van Halen F.U.C.K., Black n Blue Without Love, Danger Danger Danger Danger, Tigertailz Bezerk.

Asylum, Lick it Up and Creatures of the Night are fk great solid albums, but the best Kiss song of the 80s is I've had Enough (Into the Fire) from Animalize (too bad the rest of the album is not at the same level), truly banger.
Glam metal rules! This is the greatest list ever and a majority of your collection brings back the greatest memories from the 80's and early 90's. I love it.
Appreciate the effort putting this together man. Definitely have a few I would have added: - To Hell With The Devil / Stryper - Odyssey / Yngwie Malmsteen and the Rising Force - Great Radio Controversy / Tesla - Hysteria / Def Leppard (I think it qualifies) - Flesh and Blood / Poison - Extreme / Extreme
Awesome list man. Keep up the amazing content. Some good glam stuff that comes to my mind (no particular order): - Savage Amusement (Scorpions) - Hungry (XYZ) - On Target (Bangalore Choir) - Point Blank (Bonfire) - Hysteria (Def Leppard) - Slip of the Tongue (Whitesnake) - Crazy World (Scorpions) it's right on the edge of glam metal though. - Firehouse debut - Winger debut - In the Heart of the Young (Winger) - XYZ debut - Mane attraction (White Lion) - Trouble in Angel City (Lion)
Scorpions, Firehouse, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake were not "glam" metal. Whitesnake was bred from Deep Purple, Def Leppard came out of the NWOBHM movement in England (Yes, some were glam there but not Leps), Scorpions are German heavy metal, and Firehouse came out of the Southern hard rock movement. No true 1980s headbanger would call any of those bands "glam".
Dudddddeee! Perfect #1!!! Out of the Cellar hands down!!! Great list! Great work as usual! I love how much you love glam. Under lock and key has some of the best riffs and overall songs from those albums you named for sure. You and I have to talk metal sometime!
Seeing Wildside so high on the list is awesome. Such a great band that just came out too late. Also loved seeing Steelheart, Tora Tora, and Heaven's Edge make the list. All underrated bands.
I don’t know if you would consider the band Saraya glam metal but either of their two albums would be high contenders🤘🏼 But awesome list overall man, great dedication to music!
Man I thought I knew my glam metal but there's a ton of stuff here I have to check out! You should definitely check out the neo-glam scene out of Sweden. Hardcore Superstar, Crashdiet and Crazy Lixx all have amazing albums. Some more sleazy sounding, others going right back to the 80s. Great stuff, like Steel Panther but doing it straight. There's also a bunch of festivals here in Europe where a lot of those guys play, it's really awesome!
All 3 bands you listed kick ass, I own every album from all 3. Check out Hell In The Club, Skull Daze, Catalano, Loud N Nasty and Danger (Rob Nasty singer). There are so many more newer bands that are so great . People that say good music isn't being made anymore are just ignorant.
Love your list Bryce! The 80's were the best of times. I had a great time them going to concerts and parties. Never no problems then either. I sure miss those days.
1. Under Lock and Key Dokken 2. Too Fast For Love Motley Crue 3. Out of the Cellar Ratt 4. The Last Command WASP 5. Tooth and Nail Dokken Easily my top 5 favorite glam metal albums!
@@martymartin2894 like BryceTalksMetal, I don't think that glam metal is an insult at all. It is debatable if WASP are considered glam metal or not, but I think they are. And they are good for what they do! I would love to put them in my top 3 for glam metal bands, but my top 3 are Dokken, Motley Crue, and Ratt. WASP are 4th in my opinion.
@@martymartin2894 I will agree that WASP are an awesome band. I'm basically a fan of any rock/metal that is awesome. I'm a massive fan of The Beatles, Green Day, The Who, Iron Maiden, The Jam, Sum 41, CCR, The Cure, Metallica, Sepultura, Megadeth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Motorhead, Motley Crue, Dokken, Yellowcard, Judas Priest, and many more.
Cool list Bryce. I have quite a few of the albums you mentioned in my collection, but also quite a few I don't. Your video has provided for me a great list of bands to investigate. So that will be fun. You can't go wrong with Ratt - Out of the Cellar at no. 1. I still remember when that album was released. My brother purchased it based solely on the album cover. 37 years later it's an all time favorite. A short time later we got to see Accept, Ratt, and Motley Crue at City Island in Harrisburg, PA. It rained cats and dogs, but it was still fun.
Great list and excellent content as usual. Dokken and Ratt are in a tier of their own for sure. Elite guitar playing. A cool video idea would be to rank their discographies against each other. Tooth and Nail and Out of the Cellar are two of the best metal albums of all time IMO.
Love these types of videos, I hope you do a top 50 thrash albums. i know you did a top 10 thrash albums but it was a year ago and your video quality has increased so much from then. plus maybe ur top 10 changed since then and i want to see the other 40 you would have.
I was a ways into watching this and went to hit the like button and realised I'd already watched this one before but I watched it again Bryce. lol You've dug up some great glam bands bud, I can remember being in junior high and buying Metal Edge or Hit Parader magazines etc. each month. Some great memories of searching through all the bands and finding quite a few of the choices you mentioned, it was a great time to be a teenager! Gonna crank some glam metal before the hockey game starts I think! \m/ \m/
Love it. I have 19 of your top 50. And many of your honorable mentions. Some of the bands you said you don’t consider glam metal, I would actually throw in there. Really good stuff
I have 95 percent of your list, and i saw KISS in concert on the Asylum tour one of the best concerts I ever seen W.A.S.P. open for them just amazing. 🤘🤘🤘
Wow great list...and believe it or not you schooled me on some of obscure bands that I never knew that existed. You could add TNT:Realized Fantasy, Rough Cut and XYZ...I'm subbing tha ks
I am a teenage kid when Metal Bands flourished in the 80s but in our country the Philippines were very seldom to get our hands on these obscured Metal albums, I am glad that you mention them on here i gotta check em out right now
Love to see wildside Babylon ad and heavens edge on there but u cant leave out def leppard and faster pussycat. Also saints and sinners is a solid underrated band, awesome list!
Very cool list! I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention Thru These Eyes from Spread Eagle, its literally in my top 5 songs of all time. Just so amazing how it starts slow and builds up over time, killer riffs and vocals and outstanding lyrics too.
definitivamente tienes buenos gustos musicales y tambien me he perdido a algunos pero gracias a ti los escuchare ahora mismo aparte tengo 2 acotaciones DANGER DANGER y BATON ROUGE
My top 15 is: 1. Metal Health (Quiet Riot, 1983) 2. Skid Row (Skid Row, 1989) 3. Dr. Feelgood (Mötley Crüe, 1989) 4. Whitesnake (Whitesnake, 1987) 5. Condition Critical (Quiet Riot, 1984) 6. Appetite For Destruction (Guns & Roses, 1987) 7. Use Your Illusion I/II (Guns & Roses, 1992) 8. Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich (Warrant, 1989) 9. QR III (Quiet Riot, 1986) 10. Terrified (Quiet Riot, 1993 - an album that was completely stomped into the dirt due to it coming out at the height of grunge) 11. Out Of The Cellar (Ratt, 1984) 12. Stay Hungry (Twisted Sister, 1984) 13. Blizzard Of Ozz (Ozzy, 1980) 14. Girls, Girls, Girls (Mötley Crüe, 1987) 15. Alive And Well (Quiet Riot, 2000 - in my opinion, the last good glam metal album made)
Sweet list brother! Great work and I am a new subscriber.... Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron and definitely first three albums by The Cult (Billy Duffy can shred and another shout out to Matt Sorum) should not be overlooked. I also think Def Leppards Hysteria would be in the Glam wheelhouse.
Love your videos and that you love glam metal as well as harder thrash type metal. Wanted your thoughts on a band I have not seen you comment on, but I'm not sure what you'd classify them as. Your thoughts on the Norwegian band TNT?
Great list! Happy to see obscurities like Ivory Tower, Joker, Blonz, The Bang Gang, and Hawk get mentions! You should pick up that Heaven's Edge for $18! It's worth it!
Very glad to see Europe on this list! Truly an underrated band that everyone thinks made only one good hit. My personal favorites being Prisoners in Paradise and Wings of Tommorow 🤘
👍 great video , I grew up in that era and I have never heard of some of these , incredible knowledge of glam metal Bryce , great times growing up in the 1980s , you should check out the decline of western civilization part 2 movie if you haven’t , really cool movie about the late 80s Metal/glam scene
Bryce, good list. However, I'm surprised to not see a mention of Icon - Icon. That is a mix of Dokken and WASP and is criminally underrated. If you haven't heard that album, do so. You will dig it for sure.
All good albums my friend. After 30 years of listening to glam metal it’s the albums I still play repeatedly nowadays that I really rate. Winger-Pull, their best album, Enuff Z Nuff- Strength, brilliant songwriting and Lynch Mob, Wicked Sensation, my favorite Lynch material.
Man, how do I pick 50? Ok, lol, here we go... 1. Ratt - Out of the Cellar, 2. Crue - Shout at the Devil, 3. Twisted Sister- Under the Blade, 4. QR - Metal Health, 5. Great White- Great White, 6.Dokken - Tooth and Nail, 7. Bon Jovi- 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit, 8.Wasp - Wasp, 9. Stryper- To Hell with the Devil, 10. Def Leppard- Pyromania, 11. Cinderella- Night Songs, 12. Kix - Midnight Dynamite, 13. Whitesnake- Slide it In, 14. Crue - Too Fast for Love, 15. Dokken- Under Lock n Key, 16. Ratt- Invasion, 17. Poison- Look What the Cat Dragged, 18. White Lion - Pride, 19. Whitesnake- Whitesnake, 20. Great White - Once Bitten, 21. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet, 22. Skid Row - Skid Row, 23. Europe- Wings of Tomorrow, 24. Kix - Blow My Fuse, 25. Twisted sister- Stay Hungry, 26. Tesla - Mechanical Resonance, 27, Kiss- Lick It Up, 28. Pantera- Projects in the Jungle, 29. Lita Ford - Dancing on the Edge, 30. TNT - Knights of the New Thunder, 31. Icon - Night of the Crime, 32. Kiss - Asylum, 33. King Kobra- Ready to Strike, 34. White Lion - Fight to Survive, 35. Europe- Final Countdown, 36. Skid Row - Slave to the Grind, 37. Winger - Winger, 38. Slaughter- Stick it to Ya, 39. Danger Danger- Danger Danger, 40. Sleeze Beez - Screwed Blued, Tattooed, 41. Wasp - Last Command, 42. Leatherwolf- Street Ready, 43. Warrant- Cherry Pie, 44. LA - Guns - LA Guns, 45. Extreme - Pornograffiti, 46. Tesla - Great Radio Controversy, 47. Trixter - Trixter, 48. Damn Yankees- Damn Yankees, 49. XyZ - XYZ, 50. House of Lords - Sahara.
A few bands had to get two albums each so others got bumped as a result. But I'd also give nods to Autograph- Sign in Please, Keel - The Right to Rock, Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol (even though they are not "glam" if fashion is the qualifications in style but still right in the family musically like Whitesnake, Damn Yankees, Tesla, Badlands) , Helix - Walking the Razors Edge, VH debut set the bar, Y&T - Contagious, Firehouse debut.
Ratt and Dokken should be considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and Judas Priest are not even in. You can go fan vote to get Maiden in, but it is just sick that Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone Magazine hates "hair metal" and put in Disco, Rap, Pop, and Grunge instead.
Excellent list! As a person who was a teenager in the '80s, born in 1973, I think you nailed this. I would have included Shark Island, which is one that I've come to love even more as the years go by, but maybe you don't consider them glam? I totally agree that Dokken and Ratt are the cream of the crop when it comes to glam metal. Keep cranking the great content.
🤘🤘HELL YEAH BROTHER!!, I share the exact same opinion and respect for the band SLAUGHTER and their leader Mark Slaughter for his amazing vocals & the collective band members' musicality & writing on that debut album as well!..... All the songs you'd named plus 'Fly To The Angels' are awesome and Mark's vocal delivery on FTTA are top tier phenomenal!🤘🤘
dang it man... nice to see others appreciating that era of music... other than just 52 year olds like me that were there originally... ill add one... zodiac mindwarp & the love reactions, tattooed beat messiah ...kinda on the sleeze side of glam, but some solid tracks... thanx man, enjoyed ur list
1. GNR - Appettite For Destruction 2. Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil 3. Def Leppard - Pyromania 4. Def Leppard - Hysteria 5. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet 6. Ratt - Out Of The Cellar 7.

I prefer the term "Party Metal" over glam or hair metal. That way all the bands from that era are in the mix and you don't have to worry about who isn't eligible for these type of lists. 🤣
Do you have anywhere I can download your album lists? There’s a lot of stuff in the various ranking lists that I’d love to buy but I don’t always remember them. Love all your stuff. Great knowledge you have.
Glad to see some old Pantera in there. Those early albums are so underrated and should be reissued. I recently ordered the first 3 Fastway albums. Not sure they qualify as Glam though. Great list. Well done 🍻 🤘.
I hope you ordered the Rock Candy Records versions because they sound fantastic! Well they did remastered issues of 'Fastway', 'All Fired Up' and 'Trick Or Treat' another company released their 'Waiting For The Roar' album back around 2008.
Good to see some love for Ransom! Both of their albums were strong, though I think the 2nd album had a more cohesive style, and I liked the bluesy direction. But I don't think the songwriting was quite as strong as it could have been. Still, well worth picking up.
I can't believe how many of these I have... mostly in cassette. I'm 72. Off to Haight Ashbury when I was 18 ( 1967 ) and was hanging out during the 70s and 80s at the Rainbow in West Hollywood. I'm still rocking and always will be!
Good list. enjoyed watching. You're missing a few that I love. Stryper To Hell With the Devil and Soldiers Under Command, TNT Intuition and Realized Fantasies, Winger-Pull, Mass- New Birth, 220 Voltz- Eye To Eye, Prophet S/T (1985), Barren Cross- Atomic Arena and Rock for The King, Extreme-Pornografiti and III sides to every story, Yngwie-Trilogy, Bloodgood- Detonation all would have made my top 50. Then I consider Queensryche Operation Mindcrime, Rage For Order, and Empire all in that Genre as well. Def Leppard Pyromania and Hysteria fall in there too. You had a lot of great ones for sure
We are pretty much on the same page. I started selling CDs and records in 1988, and I agree with most of your choices, and especially Ratt and Dokken. The following is a bit lengthy, but I want to list some bands I like... Alien Alleycat Smile Bangalore Choir Banshee Bonfire Brunette Charlemagne Charlotte Child's Play China Rain Cold Sweat Cristeen Cry Wolf Crystal Roxx Danger Danger Dear Diary DeMont Dirty Rhythm Dr. Grind Fifth Angel Gynger Lynn Hericane Alice High Noon Hotwire House Of Lords Hurricane Icon Jailhouse Julliet Keel Kidd Blue Leatherwolf Legacy Legion Lillian Axe Lion Mad Margritt McQueen Street MSG Murder Bay Naked Zoo Naughty Naughty No Shame No Sweat Panther Pink Cream 69 Rattleshake Razormaid Rough Cutt Saints & Sinners Sandra Dee Sgt. Roxx Shake City Shark Island Shy England Silent Rage Strike Twice Sweet FA Sweet Sybil Syanide Kick Tragic Romance Treat Trouble Tribe 21 Guns 220 Volt Tyketto UZI Valentine Wild Horses XYZ
Yes, Danger is a good, often overlooked song off of Shout At The Devil. I play that on the jukebox at my local bar every once in a while. I cannot believe Too Fast For Love didn't make your top 50! No Hanoi Rocks either. Don't forget your roots, lol. I forgot about WildSide. That's a great pick, along with Shotgun Messiah. War Babies is a cool album. I used to know the drummer.
I would definitely have to have : Vandenberg S/T (1983) Faster Pussycat - Wake Me When It's Over (1989) White Lion - Mane Attraction (1991) Whitesnake - Slide It In (1984) Child's Play - Rat Race (1991) Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love (1982) R.I.P. Tawney Kitaen 😞
Even though i disagree with some of your selections I appreciate your vids and keep up the great exposure . Also i truly thought you were going to go with To fast for love as No. 1 , I would have went Cellar 2 and Too fast no. 1
Great list! I would include Hericane Alice in my list. I don't see anyone mentioning them in the comments below so I had to mention them. They only had one album but it is great. Since you like Cats in Boots you would like another band the singer sang in with Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali and guitarist Gary Hoey called Heavy Bones. I'm not sure if you would count them as glam or not, but 1980's Loudness had amazing albums. They had big hair in that era and guitarist Akira Takasaki is a beast on the guitar. Since you included 80's Kiss I would argue that Judas Priest's "Turbo" album is a huge glam record too. Guitarist KK Downing had a big perm and even Rob Halford was trying to grow out his hair during this time. The songs were very radio friendly on that album. Bon Jovi were huge in the glam scene too.
One of your best videos for sure, big bro! Some more albums I came across which are also good: Black 'N Blue - s/t Enuff'Z Nuff -s/t Electric Boys - Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride Pantera - Power Metal (well, while we are at it, gotta say this is their most solid one from the 80s, can't think of anyone smacking it as hard as Pantera in glam metal, I dunno why it hardly gets recognized, should have been big!) Lillian Axe - Love + War/Poetic Justice Any Glam metal bands you like which are not from the US?
Thanks! A few that come to mind are Shotgun Messiah and Sleeze Beez... Power Metal is indeed their best from the 80s but I wasn’t counting it for this, I think it’s a bit heavier and faster like speed metal
This won't be in any order but this is just a big list of some albums I really enjoy. Some may not be considered pure "glam" but I'll still include them. Not limiting myself to a certain number per band either. The ones in all caps are the ones I REALLY like and go back to a lot. There's more and I'm finding new stuff all the time. So much great stuff in this genre 1. Cinderella- Heartbreak Station 2. Cinderella- NIGHT SONGS 3. Cinderella- still climbing 4. Def Leppard- High N Dry 5. Def Leppard- PYROMANIA 6. Dokken- Back for the attack 7. Dokken- tooth and nail 8. Dokken- UNDER LOCK AND KEY 9. Enuff Znuff- strength 10. Europe- Walk the earth 11. Europe Wings of Tomorrow 12. Firehouse- FIREHOUSE 13. Firehouse- Hold Your fire 14. Hanoi Rocks- SELF DESTRUCTION BLUES 15. Hanoi Rocks- BACK TO MYSTERY CITY 16. Hanoi Rocks- Two steps from the move 17. Jackyl- JACKYL 18 GNR- Appetite for destruction 19. Kix- Midnite dynamite 20. Lita Ford- Lita 21. Motley Crue- Too Fast for Love 22. Motley Crue- SHOUT AT THE DEVIL 23. Motley Crue- girls girls girls 24. Motley Crue- dr feel good 25. Motley Crue- saints of los angeles 26. Poison- look what the cat dragged in 27. Quiet riot- metal health 28. ratt- dancing undercover 29. Ratt- out of the cellar 30. Ratt- INVASION OF YOUR PRIVACY 31. Tesla- FIVE MAN ACOUSTIC JAM 32. Vinnie Vincent Invasion- all systems go 33. White Lion- Pride 34. White Lion- Big Game 35. Winger- Winger 36. Lillian Axe- Love and war 37. Lizzy Borden- Menace to society 38. Skid Row- Skid Row 39. Spread Eagle- Spread Eagle 40. Krokus- The Blitz
Thanks for doing this brother and if you don’t mind how old are you? I am old enough to have seen many of these bands live with all original members! My first concert was RATT with Poison opening for them in 1987 Rock On!!!
Wow!! You're 1 in a million @ your age..good musical taste! 🎼 I respect your opinion and choice of music. Keep rocking! My son is now 40 - just getting into Rock/ metal, my husband passed away recently after 41years of marriage- (his Dad)...the inspiration he said for the memories of his childhood & his life with us growing up. He was a rap kid growing up. He had to be different...never picked up a hammer or socket- Dad did everything, despite trying to involve him . He regrets this too. I am showing him this channel...never too late.
Bryce was born in the wrong decade. Such a passion for music.
I'm 35 years old and even I was born in the wrong decade, lol. I feel anyone who's currently 40 and under who likes this kind of music missed out on everything. 😔
@@dereks7745 I understand that feeling as well, dude :((
Same I’m 18 and I love this type of music
I agree 👍. I would love to hear him countdown stuff from the 70s.
I was told the same thing from a former teacher from High School.
I knew “out of the cellar” would be #1. Great list man.
As it should be demartini is a god among guitar players, highly underrated. Ratt, alongside dokken have to be one of my favorite glam bands!
Once Bitten from Great White was a great underrated album. Every song was amazing. Should be on the list.
Great video!! 👏👏 My top 30 (not in order of preference): Van Halen I , Autograph Loud And Clear, Giant Time To Burn, Dokken Under Lock And Key, Harem Scarem Mood Swings, Motley Crue Too Fast For Love, Pretty Boy Floyd Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz, White Lion Pride, Whitesnake 1987, Warrant Dog Eat Dog, Poison Flesh And Blood, Cinderella Long Cold Winter, Skid Row Skid Row, Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet, Europe Out Of This World, Def Leppard Hysteria, Firehouse Firehouse, Mr.Big Lean Into It, Winger Winger, Vixen Rev It Up, Ratt Dancing Undercover, Wig Wam (from norway) Wigwamania, Crazy Lixx (from sweden) No Religion, Rafa Martin (from spain) Corazon De Hierro, David Lee Roth Eat 'em And Smile, Guns n Roses Appetite For Destruction, Van Halen F.U.C.K., Black n Blue Without Love, Danger Danger Danger Danger, Tigertailz Bezerk.
Dig those picks, a ton of ass kickin' music there. That said, Van Halen isn't glam metal. Cheers!
Great list!!!
Other Honorable Mentions....Faster Pussycat , Junkyard and Extreme!!!
Especially the first 2 FP records.
Yeah! Faster Pussycat second album rocks! Pls check out my newborn channel, it will be all about rock and roll 🤟🏻!!!
Great show! I was the bassist in Diamond Rexx
In 89-90 I did the Rated Rexx and Golden Gates albums. Thanks for the mention at the end.
Proof or it didnt happen
Winger - In the heart of the young should definitely be in the top 50.
Also Don Dokken Up from the ashes should be there too!!
don dokkens up from the ashes has no skips! such an underrated album

Pleasantly surprised by the kiss representation on the list, everyone shits on 80s kiss but I think it's the band at their best.
Creatures of the night was a really good album, the title track was killer.
Agreed and props for calling out Tears are Falling... it’s their best live song by far!
Asylum, Lick it Up and Creatures of the Night are fk great solid albums, but the best Kiss song of the 80s is I've had Enough (Into the Fire) from Animalize (too bad the rest of the album is not at the same level), truly banger.
I completely agree: Ratt and Dokken are the best two Glam Metal bands... with Ratt being my favorite
Wrong...whitesnake was best band interms of musicianship and sound power chords looks hair steve vai
@@mahkanyazdani5990 Whitesnake and Dokken are my favs! ;)
@@the80sguy80 the Art of Noise, INXS, Cinderella, and kiss hot in the shade and Prince Batman soundtrack anything phil Collins and zz top
Dokken isn’t even remotely glam though
Dokken were great during that era, the live album, beast from the east i think its called, was terrific.
Glam metal rules! This is the greatest list ever and a majority of your collection brings back the greatest memories from the 80's and early 90's. I love it.
Appreciate the effort putting this together man. Definitely have a few I would have added:
- To Hell With The Devil / Stryper
- Odyssey / Yngwie Malmsteen and the Rising Force
- Great Radio Controversy / Tesla
- Hysteria / Def Leppard (I think it qualifies)
- Flesh and Blood / Poison
- Extreme / Extreme
Awesome list man. Keep up the amazing content. Some good glam stuff that comes to my mind (no particular order):
- Savage Amusement (Scorpions)
- Hungry (XYZ)
- On Target (Bangalore Choir)
- Point Blank (Bonfire)
- Hysteria (Def Leppard)
- Slip of the Tongue (Whitesnake)
- Crazy World (Scorpions) it's right on
the edge of glam metal though.
- Firehouse debut
- Winger debut
- In the Heart of the Young (Winger)
- XYZ debut
- Mane attraction (White Lion)
- Trouble in Angel City (Lion)
Great choices in there mate
Scorpions, Firehouse, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake were not "glam" metal. Whitesnake was bred from Deep Purple, Def Leppard came out of the NWOBHM movement in England (Yes, some were glam there but not Leps), Scorpions are German heavy metal, and Firehouse came out of the Southern hard rock movement. No true 1980s headbanger would call any of those bands "glam".
gran album el hysteria pero el de bonfier yo pondria dont touch the light
La gun's will always be my one of my top favorites
Mine too!! RIP Steve Riley.
That self titled l.a. guns album is one of the hardest rock albums I've ever heard
Solid list. I might pick a few different ones, but agree on most. Would like to see TNT and Faster Pussycat on there though.
Got your number of the bathroom wall! Good call bro!
Dudddddeee! Perfect #1!!! Out of the Cellar hands down!!! Great list! Great work as usual! I love how much you love glam. Under lock and key has some of the best riffs and overall songs from those albums you named for sure. You and I have to talk metal sometime!
good list man! gretting from CHILE! love metal, love the 80s and really enjoy your vids!
My dude, once again you helped me create a sick playlist... thanks bro
Awesome video. I was not aware of many bands on this list thank you for bringing them to my attention I will check them out.
Seeing Wildside so high on the list is awesome. Such a great band that just came out too late. Also loved seeing Steelheart, Tora Tora, and Heaven's Edge make the list. All underrated bands.
Great job on this. I enjoyed it. Thanks for including (The Wild Life) at the end. One of my favorites. Also - (Pull) by Winger is fantastic.
I don’t know if you would consider the band Saraya glam metal but either of their two albums would be high contenders🤘🏼 But awesome list overall man, great dedication to music!
GREAT SHOWCASE BRO - Excellent work!!! KEEP IT COMING
Man I thought I knew my glam metal but there's a ton of stuff here I have to check out! You should definitely check out the neo-glam scene out of Sweden. Hardcore Superstar, Crashdiet and Crazy Lixx all have amazing albums. Some more sleazy sounding, others going right back to the 80s. Great stuff, like Steel Panther but doing it straight. There's also a bunch of festivals here in Europe where a lot of those guys play, it's really awesome!
All 3 bands you listed kick ass, I own every album from all 3. Check out Hell In The Club, Skull Daze, Catalano, Loud N Nasty and Danger (Rob Nasty singer). There are so many more newer bands that are so great . People that say good music isn't being made anymore are just ignorant.
@@pfslik They're not hearing anything on the radio- you have to search for them, or word of mouth.
Just discovered this channel. Awesome stuff man love these various lists/rankings. Keep up the good work buddy.
Under Lock And Key will forever be my favorite Glam album ever. No Doubt. 🤘
Love your list Bryce! The 80's were the best of times. I had a great time them going to concerts and parties. Never no problems then either. I sure miss those days.
Really great list. You’re well versed in this sub-genre!
Nice video. Gave me some ideas for bands to listen to. I am surprised Danger Danger isn't on the list. Awesome early albums.
Great video, discovered some amazing new stuff!

TNT ( Pre Power Metal), Rising Force ( Yngwie) Neo Classical Power Metal
1. Under Lock and Key Dokken
2. Too Fast For Love Motley Crue
3. Out of the Cellar Ratt
4. The Last Command WASP
5. Tooth and Nail Dokken
Easily my top 5 favorite glam metal albums!
under lock and key is definitely the best along with whitesnakes 1987
@@martymartin2894 like BryceTalksMetal, I don't think that glam metal is an insult at all. It is debatable if WASP are considered glam metal or not, but I think they are. And they are good for what they do! I would love to put them in my top 3 for glam metal bands, but my top 3 are Dokken, Motley Crue, and Ratt. WASP are 4th in my opinion.
@@martymartin2894 I will agree that WASP are an awesome band. I'm basically a fan of any rock/metal that is awesome. I'm a massive fan of The Beatles, Green Day, The Who, Iron Maiden, The Jam, Sum 41, CCR, The Cure, Metallica, Sepultura, Megadeth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Motorhead, Motley Crue, Dokken, Yellowcard, Judas Priest, and many more.
Last Command and Inside the Electric Circus are totally Glam Metal albums....
@Bob Stone Dokken is a true hard rock band but due to their us sound fans put them in hair metal groups...like they do with Def Leppard
Cool list Bryce. I have quite a few of the albums you mentioned in my collection, but also quite a few I don't. Your video has provided for me a great list of bands to investigate. So that will be fun. You can't go wrong with Ratt - Out of the Cellar at no. 1. I still remember when that album was released. My brother purchased it based solely on the album cover. 37 years later it's an all time favorite. A short time later we got to see Accept, Ratt, and Motley Crue at City Island in Harrisburg, PA. It rained cats and dogs, but it was still fun.
I didn't think anyone could be more knowledgeable on glam metal than me but even I missed some of these albums. Legend.
Great list! A nice chance to revisit some classics and know New stuff that was under the radar. Thanks Bryce
That Babylon A.D album kicks ass!
Great list and excellent content as usual. Dokken and Ratt are in a tier of their own for sure. Elite guitar playing. A cool video idea would be to rank their discographies against each other. Tooth and Nail and Out of the Cellar are two of the best metal albums of all time IMO.
Love these types of videos, I hope you do a top 50 thrash albums. i know you did a top 10 thrash albums but it was a year ago and your video quality has increased so much from then. plus maybe ur top 10 changed since then and i want to see the other 40 you would have.
I was a ways into watching this and went to hit the like button and realised I'd already watched this one before but I watched it again Bryce. lol You've dug up some great glam bands bud, I can remember being in junior high and buying Metal Edge or Hit Parader magazines etc. each month. Some great memories of searching through all the bands and finding quite a few of the choices you mentioned, it was a great time to be a teenager! Gonna crank some glam metal before the hockey game starts I think! \m/ \m/
Love it. I have 19 of your top 50. And many of your honorable mentions. Some of the bands you said you don’t consider glam metal, I would actually throw in there. Really good stuff
A very good and thorough list.
Great list, I just started watching your stuff 2 days ago. Surprised you didnt have Danger Danger or Lilian Axe on here....great regardless. Cheers
I have 95 percent of your list, and i saw KISS in concert on the Asylum tour one of the best concerts I ever seen W.A.S.P. open for them just amazing. 🤘🤘🤘
Wow great list...and believe it or not you schooled me on some of obscure bands that I never knew that existed. You could add TNT:Realized Fantasy, Rough Cut and XYZ...I'm subbing tha ks
TNT Rough Cutt XYZ all kick ass awesome!!! 🎸🎸🎤🎤
I am a teenage kid when Metal Bands flourished in the 80s but in our country the Philippines were very seldom to get our hands on these obscured Metal albums, I am glad that you mention them on here i gotta check em out right now
Love to see wildside Babylon ad and heavens edge on there but u cant leave out def leppard and faster pussycat. Also saints and sinners is a solid underrated band, awesome list!
It's amazing list. The Glam Metal is part of my teenager.Thank you Bryce 🤘🤘🤘
Very cool list! I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention Thru These Eyes from Spread Eagle, its literally in my top 5 songs of all time. Just so amazing how it starts slow and builds up over time, killer riffs and vocals and outstanding lyrics too.
That Spread Eagle debut kicks ALL ASS! So heavy and said to be an influence for Guns N Roses.
definitivamente tienes buenos gustos musicales y tambien me he perdido a algunos pero gracias a ti los escuchare ahora mismo aparte tengo 2 acotaciones DANGER DANGER y BATON ROUGE
Great choices dude. I have 49 of your top 50 choices. Bang Tango is the only one I don't possess. Keep it loud, man! RNFR forever!! \m/
My top 15 is:
1. Metal Health (Quiet Riot, 1983)
2. Skid Row (Skid Row, 1989)
3. Dr. Feelgood (Mötley Crüe, 1989)
4. Whitesnake (Whitesnake, 1987)
5. Condition Critical (Quiet Riot, 1984)
6. Appetite For Destruction (Guns & Roses, 1987)
7. Use Your Illusion I/II (Guns & Roses, 1992)
8. Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich (Warrant, 1989)
9. QR III (Quiet Riot, 1986)
10. Terrified (Quiet Riot, 1993 - an album that was completely stomped into the dirt due to it coming out at the height of grunge)
11. Out Of The Cellar (Ratt, 1984)
12. Stay Hungry (Twisted Sister, 1984)
13. Blizzard Of Ozz (Ozzy, 1980)
14. Girls, Girls, Girls (Mötley Crüe, 1987)
15. Alive And Well (Quiet Riot, 2000 - in my opinion, the last good glam metal album made)
Sweet list brother! Great work and I am a new subscriber.... Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron and definitely first three albums by The Cult (Billy Duffy can shred and another shout out to Matt Sorum) should not be overlooked. I also think Def Leppards Hysteria would be in the Glam wheelhouse.
Love your videos and that you love glam metal as well as harder thrash type metal. Wanted your thoughts on a band I have not seen you comment on, but I'm not sure what you'd classify them as. Your thoughts on the Norwegian band TNT?
Surprised Warrants debut didn’t make it anywhere on your list. Good list though and you sure work hard on your channel. Nice work Bryce.
Great list man! I'll have to check out a lot of these I hadn't heard of. Also, you should discover Hanoi Rocks if you haven't yet!
Great list! Happy to see obscurities like Ivory Tower, Joker, Blonz, The Bang Gang, and Hawk get mentions! You should pick up that Heaven's Edge for $18! It's worth it!
Great list brother, I am going to Hawk now, never heard of them, Ratt Great final pic!
Very glad to see Europe on this list! Truly an underrated band that everyone thinks made only one good hit. My personal favorites being Prisoners in Paradise and Wings of Tommorow 🤘
I agree with you so much. Prisoners in Paradise all the way probably my favorite album from my favorite band.
Not everyone thinks that. Europe has a lot of great hits
@@reagangaddis654 Yeah but not everyone thinks that, that generalize things
@@misterhimura036 what exactly are you disagreeing with me here everything I said was just my opinion.
Nice list good albums 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great job buddy im from Brazil. Amazing obscure stuffs
Great vid. I had 40 of the 50. Great to see spread eagle in the top ten.
Cool list brother. I played in Tuff during the Fist First days. Such a fun era. Miss it big time
👍 great video , I grew up in that era and I have never heard of some of these , incredible knowledge of glam metal Bryce , great times growing up in the 1980s , you should check out the decline of western civilization part 2 movie if you haven’t , really cool movie about the late 80s Metal/glam scene
So happy you had Bang Gang - Love Sells on your list. Such a great glam album.
Never heard of em'-checked out song samples.....now I own the album! Hook filled, cool vocals and tight songwriting! Dig It! Should have been BIG!
Bryce, good list. However, I'm surprised to not see a mention of Icon - Icon. That is a mix of Dokken and WASP and is criminally underrated. If you haven't heard that album, do so. You will dig it for sure.
Great list man! Invasion of your Privacy to me is Ratts best album cover to cover!
All good albums my friend. After 30 years of listening to glam metal it’s the albums I still play repeatedly nowadays that I really rate. Winger-Pull, their best album, Enuff Z Nuff- Strength, brilliant songwriting and Lynch Mob, Wicked Sensation, my favorite Lynch material.
Man, how do I pick 50? Ok, lol, here we go...
1. Ratt - Out of the Cellar, 2. Crue - Shout at the Devil, 3. Twisted Sister- Under the Blade, 4. QR - Metal Health, 5. Great White- Great White, 6.Dokken - Tooth and Nail, 7. Bon Jovi- 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit, 8.Wasp - Wasp, 9. Stryper- To Hell with the Devil, 10. Def Leppard- Pyromania, 11. Cinderella- Night Songs, 12. Kix - Midnight Dynamite, 13. Whitesnake- Slide it In, 14. Crue - Too Fast for Love, 15. Dokken- Under Lock n Key, 16. Ratt- Invasion, 17. Poison- Look What the Cat Dragged, 18. White Lion - Pride, 19. Whitesnake- Whitesnake, 20. Great White - Once Bitten, 21. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet, 22. Skid Row - Skid Row, 23. Europe- Wings of Tomorrow, 24. Kix - Blow My Fuse, 25. Twisted sister- Stay Hungry, 26.

Kiss - Asylum, 33. King Kobra- Ready to Strike, 34. White Lion - Fight to Survive, 35. Europe- Final Countdown, 36. Skid Row - Slave to the Grind, 37. Winger - Winger, 38. Slaughter- Stick it to Ya, 39. Danger Danger- Danger Danger, 40. Sleeze Beez - Screwed Blued, Tattooed, 41. Wasp - Last Command, 42. Leatherwolf- Street Ready, 43. Warrant- Cherry Pie, 44. LA - Guns - LA Guns, 45. Extreme - Pornograffiti, 46. Tesla - Great Radio Controversy, 47. Trixter - Trixter, 48. Damn Yankees- Damn Yankees, 49. XyZ - XYZ, 50. House of Lords - Sahara.
A few bands had to get two albums each so others got bumped as a result. But I'd also give nods to Autograph- Sign in Please, Keel - The Right to Rock, Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol (even though they are not "glam" if fashion is the qualifications in style but still right in the family musically like Whitesnake, Damn Yankees, Tesla, Badlands) , Helix - Walking the Razors Edge, VH debut set the bar, Y&T - Contagious, Firehouse debut.
Ratt and Dokken should be considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and Judas Priest are not even in. You can go fan vote to get Maiden in, but it is just sick that Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone Magazine hates "hair metal" and put in Disco, Rap, Pop, and Grunge instead.
Great list. Love the genre. So hard to rank them. Fifty is a big undertaking. Nice job.
Excellent list! As a person who was a teenager in the '80s, born in 1973, I think you nailed this. I would have included Shark Island, which is one that I've come to love even more as the years go by, but maybe you don't consider them glam? I totally agree that Dokken and Ratt are the cream of the crop when it comes to glam metal. Keep cranking the great content.
Shark Island is TRES Cool!
Great list. Props for Spread Eagle & Shotgun Messiah. But, have you heard of a band named Def Leppard?
🤘🤘HELL YEAH BROTHER!!, I share the exact same opinion and respect for the band SLAUGHTER and their leader Mark Slaughter for his amazing vocals & the collective band members' musicality & writing on that debut album as well!..... All the songs you'd named plus 'Fly To The Angels' are awesome and Mark's vocal delivery on FTTA are top tier phenomenal!🤘🤘
Can't argue with any of it. Cool video.
Vain is the most underrated band of all time
Every record is a gem i got it all
Fantastic really fantastic band
Ya know, I am a huge fan of the band and one of my fave debuts of all time. So underrated, great call
Agreed. "No Respect" by VAIN was best album of 1989 and a Top 10 rock album of the 80s. Criminally underrated album
dang it man... nice to see others appreciating that era of music... other than just 52 year olds like me that were there originally... ill add one... zodiac mindwarp & the love reactions, tattooed beat messiah ...kinda on the sleeze side of glam, but some solid tracks... thanx man, enjoyed ur list
First albums by Lynch Mob, Pretty Boy Floyd, Danger Damger all awesome!
Pretty Boy Floyd is the epitomy of Hair Metal...

Welcome to McDonald's. We got macs & fries 🍟 We've got everything you. We even supersize at McDonald's Welcome to McDonald's 😆
Saigon Kick wasn't glam.
@@MrNWA4Life Yeah , they were .They similar to Skid Row .
Queensryche, Ozzy and Dio are not glam metal, the rest of your picks are stellar! Nice job!
I prefer the term "Party Metal" over glam or hair metal. That way all the bands from that era are in the mix and you don't have to worry about who isn't eligible for these type of lists. 🤣
Do you have anywhere I can download your album lists? There’s a lot of stuff in the various ranking lists that I’d love to buy but I don’t always remember them. Love all your stuff. Great knowledge you have.
‘To Hell with the Devil’ - Stryper....heavy glam metal
Glad to see some old Pantera in there. Those early albums are so underrated and should be reissued. I recently ordered the first 3 Fastway albums. Not sure they qualify as Glam though. Great list. Well done 🍻 🤘.
I hope you ordered the Rock Candy Records versions because they sound fantastic! Well they did remastered issues of 'Fastway', 'All Fired Up' and 'Trick Or Treat' another company released their 'Waiting For The Roar' album back around 2008.
@@josephsavich2451 yes I ordered those versions. Should have them this coming Friday 🤘. Thanks for the tips man.
Good to see some love for Ransom! Both of their albums were strong, though I think the 2nd album had a more cohesive style, and I liked the bluesy direction. But I don't think the songwriting was quite as strong as it could have been. Still, well worth picking up.
I can't believe how many of these I have... mostly in cassette. I'm 72. Off to Haight Ashbury when I was 18 ( 1967 ) and was hanging out during the 70s and 80s at the Rainbow in West Hollywood. I'm still rocking and always will be!
Good list. enjoyed watching. You're missing a few that I love. Stryper To Hell With the Devil and Soldiers Under Command, TNT Intuition and Realized Fantasies, Winger-Pull, Mass- New Birth, 220 Voltz- Eye To Eye, Prophet S/T (1985), Barren Cross- Atomic Arena and Rock for The King, Extreme-Pornografiti and III sides to every story, Yngwie-Trilogy, Bloodgood- Detonation all would have made my top 50. Then I consider Queensryche Operation Mindcrime, Rage For Order, and Empire all in that Genre as well. Def Leppard Pyromania and Hysteria fall in there too. You had a lot of great ones for sure
i was lucky enough to get to fast for love on release day it now sits proudly on my wall
Yeah thats great
Crüe forever!!!
Love that Wildside made the top 10. Great list!
Ive been listening to Out of the Cellar at least twice a day for the past 2 weeks

Yes, Danger is a good, often overlooked song off of Shout At The Devil. I play that on the jukebox at my local bar every once in a while.
I cannot believe Too Fast For Love didn't make your top 50! No Hanoi Rocks either. Don't forget your roots, lol.
I forgot about WildSide. That's a great pick, along with Shotgun Messiah. War Babies is a cool album. I used to know the drummer.
I would definitely have to have :
Vandenberg S/T (1983)
Faster Pussycat - Wake Me When It's Over (1989)
White Lion - Mane Attraction (1991)
Whitesnake - Slide It In (1984)
Child's Play - Rat Race (1991)
Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love (1982)
R.I.P. Tawney Kitaen 😞
Even though i disagree with some of your selections I appreciate your vids and keep up the great exposure . Also i truly thought you were going to go with To fast for love as No. 1 , I would have went Cellar 2 and Too fast no. 1
Great list! I would include Hericane Alice in my list. I don't see anyone mentioning them in the comments below so I had to mention them. They only had one album but it is great. Since you like Cats in Boots you would like another band the singer sang in with Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali and guitarist Gary Hoey called Heavy Bones. I'm not sure if you would count them as glam or not, but 1980's Loudness had amazing albums. They had big hair in that era and guitarist Akira Takasaki is a beast on the guitar. Since you included 80's Kiss I would argue that Judas Priest's "Turbo" album is a huge glam record too. Guitarist KK Downing had a big perm and even Rob Halford was trying to grow out his hair during this time. The songs were very radio friendly on that album. Bon Jovi were huge in the glam scene too.
Great list and honorable mentions, though!
One of your best videos for sure, big bro! Some more albums I came across which are also good:
Black 'N Blue - s/t
Enuff'Z Nuff -s/t
Electric Boys - Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride
Pantera - Power Metal (well, while we are at it, gotta say this is their most solid one from the 80s, can't think of anyone smacking it as hard as Pantera in glam metal, I dunno why it hardly gets recognized, should have been big!)
Lillian Axe - Love + War/Poetic Justice
Any Glam metal bands you like which are not from the US?
Thanks! A few that come to mind are Shotgun Messiah and Sleeze Beez... Power Metal is indeed their best from the 80s but I wasn’t counting it for this, I think it’s a bit heavier and faster like speed metal
Raw Silk "Silk under the skin " 1990 ...a greek band...
This won't be in any order but this is just a big list of some albums I really enjoy. Some may not be considered pure "glam" but I'll still include them. Not limiting myself to a certain number per band either. The ones in all caps are the ones I REALLY like and go back to a lot. There's more and I'm finding new stuff all the time. So much great stuff in this genre

Thanks man 💯
Thanks for doing this brother and if you don’t mind how old are you? I am old enough to have seen many of these bands live with all original members! My first concert was RATT with Poison opening for them in 1987 Rock On!!!
I’m 24... and that’s awesome!
Wow!! You're 1 in a million @ your age..good musical taste! 🎼 I respect your opinion and choice of music. Keep rocking! My son is now 40 - just getting into Rock/ metal, my husband passed away recently after 41years of marriage- (his Dad)...the inspiration he said for the memories of his childhood & his life with us growing up. He was a rap kid growing up. He had to be different...never picked up a hammer or socket- Dad did everything, despite trying to involve him . He regrets this too. I am showing him this channel...never too late.
