But some of those glam anthems, like "Cumin' Atcha Live" actually sound more Quiet Riot than Poison, or maybe Def Leppard with the balls of Too Fast for Love-era Motley Crue, so I'm not knockin' the band, I just don't see them as quite top shelf as a whole.
They were perhaps the first wave of glam bands who were taking a step back from all the hair spray and vapid trash that was going on around them from the second-wave wannabes. A precursor to bands like Guns N Roses I suppose (though I'd gladly take them over GNR any day of the week.)
Oh, and I've finally updated the index, so aside from the Tesla entry it is now current again.

I reckon Geffen has said we want you to do glam anthems like Quiet Riot (due to that band being one of the biggest sellers from the genre)
To be fair it has been years since I listened to a lot of their albums and so the debut I really enjoyed when I listened to it again, I remember it being on one of your survival battles as well.
Yes they were a precursor to bands like GNR and other bands like the Cult were hitting it big as a rock band around this time as well.
