It would have to be iron maiden. Loved Faith no More as well although not strictly metal.
Posted by DeaditebyDawn (Member # 140) on :
definitely Iron Maiden or Judas Priest.. I guess Maiden probably gets the nod..
Posted by Eddie Wilson (Member # 169) on :
RATT, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Van-Halen, Quiet Riot, Y&T, Dokken, Poison, Scorpions, and my personal favorite, WHITESNAKE.
as for my all time favorite band, Led Zeppelin

OOPS, forgot a very cool band by the name of TESLA.
Posted by DeaditebyDawn (Member # 140) on :
Tesla was such a great band.. Modern Day Cowboy is definitely one of my all time favorite songs from a hair metal band..

What about Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Winger, Slaughter, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, and Autograph?
Posted by mike11 (Member # 961) on :
TESLA was my favorite as the end of the 80's.

Quiet Riot, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, KISS, others like that. Music like that is a whole lot better than nowdays .

Exactly. I hope this dosen't offend anyone, but Rap is the worst music ever. I don't know why people listen to it. To be cool these days, you have to put a big exhaust tip on your import 4-cylinder and blast some rap from your stero. Thats dumb.

people can like rap it's thier choice but i think it is crappy music that dont have anything besides the F word every other word. I also think domestic cars and trucks a alot better than import junk. FORD all the way

I think that you are leaving out some great bands just because they my have started in the 70's. Kizz still rocked inthe 80's, so did Ozzy, Van Halen, Aerosmith, and for a good girl group there was Vixen.

Gosh, has to be Whitesnake I would have to say, they were a fab band! and Iron Maiden, cant leave them out now can we!!!!!!
Whitesnake, David Coverdale!
Posted by Patrick (Member # 424) on :
KISS is great-- so is Whitesnake and AC/DC... The music scene nowadays *is* really really terrible. I look at channels like Mtv(that used to be good) and just laugh at the stupidity>

I totally agree!! MTV "was" better before this crappy RAP music came!! It's really sad to see how the music industry is coming along :( The music scene WAS better in the 80's, ALOT better!! Long live the 80's metal!

I saw a lot of bands back then. I think my hearing is not the same because of it actually. Certain freq bother my ears now. I wouldnt wear earplugs back then. Anyway, I saw during there height. Bon Jovi (on there first tour), Scorpions (love at first sting tour), Judas Priest (Defenders of the faith tour), Iron Maiden (Piece of mind and Powerslave), AC/DC (Flick of the Switch), Ozzy (tour after Bark at the moon), Triumph, Cinderella (Night Songs), Ratt (Reach for the sky), Twisted Sister (Stay Hungry tour), Dokken (tooth and nail tour) Van Halen (1984 tour) David Lee Roth (Eat em and smile toure)and others.
Love all of them for one reason or other. I saw others i cant remember right now. Now if you ask me technically who was good it would be in this order of technical.
1. Iron Maiden 2. Judas Priest 3. Ac/Dc and Dokken and Cinderella (about the same) 4. Motley Crue and ozzys band at that time
