Anyway Metal Health might not be a classic album but it's certainly better song for song than Out of the Cellar that came out around the same time.

I feel like Twisted Sister is going to get unfairly voted off early due to their extreme gimmickiness. They are guilty of that but their sound was a lot more solid than many other pop acts masquerading as metal. Stay Hungry in the bottom 4 is incorrect.

Twisted Sister were pretty heavy for a glam metal band and they were also one of the very best, their album easily belongs in the top 4 here.

Indeed. Honestly, I think their sound has as much to do with Judas Priest as it does with glam metal. They're a much different beast than most of the other bands on the list.

I hope Bon Jovi gets knocked off first. I just don't give a Ratt's ass about his music.

That's because Twisted Sister were a proper metal band with proper metal roots, unlike a lot of the bands that played glam metal.

With the way you carry on, you'll be ending up on Skid Row.

All I know is that for voting for Motley Crue, you are clearly Def, Sister.

If you keep voting off good bands, I'll have WASPs up your ass, sir!

I think I can already tell which band will win, by the way. They're nobody's favorite, but nobody hates them either.

EDIT- Ugh, you swapped Crimson Idol out too? All of these changes don't make any sense to me. Crimson Idol is quite obviously WASP's best album, IMO.

I let William decide, since he's the big WASP fan, and as good as The Crimson Idol is, WASP is a trashy band, and them trying to be serious is always going to be too goofy for its own good. The fact that the album is as good as it is is impressive, but it still comes across as a trashy band pretending they're something they're not.

You're almost entirely wrong on the story there. I think William's logic was more that the Crimson Idol was more of a Blackie Lawless solo album, which it was originally intended to be. It wasn't "pretending", it was genuine work, but it was Lawless' work instead of the entire bands'. In fact, Lawless really rules that band after Holmes left. Last Command definitely is one of the more "core" WASP albums, but The Crimson Idol is undoubtedly their best work. To each their own, I guess.
