Top 10 Heavy Metal albums of ALL TIME!

[Bunbury]

GNR is hair metal. plain & simple.

That's a negative soldier

 

[cobl04]

It's hilarious that what 20 years ago was classed as 'heavy metal' is now 'classic rock'. The 'heavy metal' of the 70s is nothing compared to the 'heavy metal' of today.

GNR is hair metal. plain & simple.

I would have thought all that "intelligent music" you listen might one day influence you to make an intelligent post. I am still waiting.

 

[U2Man]

well of course, it takes intelligence to spot the intelligent posts.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Can't we all just get along? GnR is hard rock. Everyone in GnR would tell you that.
If you want to talk about hair metal, go check out Poison.

 

[Bonochick]

Quit insulting each other, toscano & U2Man.

Whether something is Hair metal or Heavy metal is nothing but historical and current perspective. Prior to 1991, Hair metal was Heavy Metal, so there. And thus the top ten heavy/hair metal albums of all time:

1. Hysteria
2. Appetite For Destruction
3. Skid Row (Self titled)
4. Metallica (Self titled)
5. Dr. Feelgood
6. Long Cold Winter
7. Open Up And Say.... Ah!
8. GNR Lies
9. Five Man Acoustical Jam
10. 5150

Honorable mentions:

Buckcherry (self titled)
1984
Theater Of Pain

which is how I know you haven't made one

 

[Bonochick]

Let it go, toscano.

 

[Zoots]

GNR is hair metal. plain & simple.

Not quite. They may have looked like those hair metal bands esp. during Appetite but GNR killed bands like Poison, Ratt, Dokken etc. IMO. Cos Axl Rose didn't just sing about girls, more like drugs, decadence, sex, excess and later somewhat matured out with the ambitious Use Your Illusion.

As for heavy metal, please don't include hair metal in it. Please!!!

Play Rock You. First opening I ever saw in a concert by myself when I was 16. Heavy Metal Love was popular in Canada at the time too.

W.A.S.P - I Wanna Be Somebody and Love Machine were two of their big singles off Winged Assassins. They are still playing in after 20 plus years. I did not know that.
