Hey now boys, lets not forget that glam-metal could be good too.
Strangeways were a short-lived outfit from Scotland who released three albums between 1986-1989. Needless to say, they're without a doubt the best pop-metal band of that decade. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone knows Def Leppard (for better or for worse), but this particular AOR gem hit radio like a cannonball in 1999, over a decade since AOR went out of style! It's nothing special, but its catchier than herpes on 'Jersey Shore'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And, of course, who can forget Devin Townsend, who made larger than life pop-metal cool again?

If you are looking some great classic Metal then the U.S 80's trio The Rods are criminally underated:
The Newcastle (U.K) 80's band Tank were so good too although there is definitely a whiff of Motorhead in there:

@Antonio - I had to check out that Foreign Objects track, given the other two bands you posted. I love that Acid Bath record and Electric Wizard are one of my absolute favourite bands. It sounds like it might be something I could get into. I looked them up and ill grab that 2 disc collection at some point i think.
@Alfred - i've been meaning to check out Genghis Tron for some time now. They seem to be forever touring and playing the same venue here frequently. Where would suggest i start? How many records do they have? @ Hank - Absolutely nothing wrong with EyeHateGod, Sleep and Melvins! I've never heard Dystopia though. What are they like? And also yes, i think there should be a number of metal sub-genres that have their own weel at some point down the line. I wouldnt let this week get bogged down in sub-genre debate though. If its heavy metal, it qualifies as far as im concerned. @ Gavin - very nice, informative write-up. Thanks! I dont know what it is about Blue Cheer though, they just never did it for me. I should give them another go at some point. @Anteater - I remember you talking about Strangeways recently. I gave that a listen and it's not something i feel i would listen to i'm afraid but i'm also sure that i could find a lot of stuff from that genre thats worse than that! I'm also not a Leppard fan. However Devin Townsend, i really need to make more of an effort. I really do like what i have heard when i have heard tracks here and there but the only album i own is Ziltoid. In your opinion, what should i be getting next? @Jackhammer - that Rods track is fantastic! Terrible name for a band but i think i could get right into this. And Tank, i remember you have mentioned these before. I'm starting to think i downloaded some of their stuff now, i'll have to check. If i did, they are on an old hard drive. There is certainly a whiff of Motorhead in there but that doesnt matter, Motorhead were never the most original band themselves were they? It still sounds good. Plus they are local lads, i should get on this. |

Damn, I didn't know Sludge counted. Sweet!
WARNING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NON-SLUDGE METAL THIS STUFF MAY VERY WELL SUCK Big Business are a sweet band. So are Capricorns, an immense Instrumental Sludge band. The Melvins have already been posted but they are of course my favourite Sludge band ya can't beat em. Okay in fear of overrunning this thread with Sludge this is the last track before a new subgenre. Buried At Sea Okay, some stuff that isn't Sludge now. This In Solitude band are pretty great all I know about them is that they are Swedish though. I like me some Mercyful Fate Shoegaze Metal:The Angelic Process And Megadeth who for some reason haven't been mentioned |

So it depends what you're after. Both albums are great, so you really can't go wrong. I just think that Board Up The House is a deeper, more satisfying album.
