    Very good, as well as many of your other videos, thank you. All outstanding albums within the genre, certainly. I may like less Poison (band) and this Ratt release but Cinderella, Alice Cooper and Skid Row are just great albums. "Trash" was the first album of Alice Cooper I heard (and listened to) not surprisingly by time and place, liked it very, very much (and "Poison" video did not do any wrong for that back then 🙂and it is good now 🙂). Still like the album a lot, it had been my favourite of all Alice releases till I heard "Killer" and "Love It To Death" by Alice Cooper band 🙂 So, along with those 2 and "Hey Stoopid" it is the big album by Alice both band and and solo artist for me. Sorry, for a long comment 🙂 Take care.

    Nice top ten Brendon of the greatest genre of rock. Skid Row tops this list for me. Skid Row not reforming with Seb Bach (even for some shows) might go down as one of the greatest missed opportunities in the genre. The time to have done it would have been 2016 same as GNR. Unfortunately anything done in the future will be too late, as the band members will be past it. Robert plant was age 59 for the 2007 one off Led Zeppelin reunion.

    Great stuff! I must admit, I am not all that familiar with Trash or Detonator (other than the hits). But yeah, the other 3 are top-of-the-heap Glam Metal masterworks. In order to be considered a "masterpiece", does every single song on the album have to be great, or can there be one or two so-so tracks? Unskinny Bop for example, is such a preposterous song, lol, and I don't exactly dislike it, as I never skip it when playing that disc, but despite its overwhelming popularity, it's my least favorite song on that album.

    Wonder if it makes sense to combine your glam metal show ideas into one. Start the video with a few masterpieces (for folks who may not know the subgenre as well). Then finish with some gems (for those of us looking for great, lesser-known bands/albums). And I know the term "hair metal" isn't necessarily a complimentary term -- but it's so commonly used for glam. I think working it into the titles of your glam metal videos (in some way) could boost your views. Maybe something like -- 'Splitting Hair: Glam Metal Greats and Hidden Gems'?

      Please stick to using the proper term Glam Metal. I can't take anybody seriously who uses the term "hair". Glam is a type of metal. Just like Glam Rock back in the 1970's. "Hair" is just a physical attribute & has nothing whatsoever to do with the sound of the music.

      To be clear, I'm not saying to start calling glam "hair metal." I'm saying there are likely some UA-camrs out there who'll search on "hair metal" when looking for content. If both words can be incorporated into a video's title -- that increases the (potential) hits and views.

      Yes there are albums that go back further. There always are. It’s like Nirvana releasing Bleach in 1989 and Soundgarden releasing Ultramega OK in 1988, yet the Grunge movement is considered to have started in 1991 with Nirvana’s Nvermind and Pearl Jam’s Ten. It doesn’t mean there weren’t albums of that type before.

    The only one I disagree with you on is Flesh & Blood. Is it good? YES. But I really don't like all the nonsense tracks and bluegrass stuff on it. Swampjuice and so on. A good majority of the tracks are good but the rest are meh. That makes it less than a masterpiece to me. I much prefer 'Open up' and 'LWTCDI'.
    Trash is awesome. I really wish Alice would go back to this style of music. I honestly haven't been into hardly any of his albums as a whole after Hey Stoopid.
    Detonator is VERY under rated. It was the first RATT album I ever bought and still love it to this day. I think the timing of it was what brought it down a bit in the eyes of most people. I've had it since its release.
    The first Skid Row album is incredible. Not a bad song on it. The one-two punch of this and 'Slave' was incredible. Honestly not a fan of Subhuman Race though. That sounds too much like a grunge album trying to be metal. Their NEW album is actually really good though.
    I've not heard that Cinderella album in YEARS so I really don't have an opinion of it as a whole but the songs you mentioned are all great. Night Songs is my favorite from them.
