Cheap Trick is the best pop band of all time.


Their albums never really captured the power they had live... easily my favorite of all the bands listed in this thread..

I also agree with the AC/DC statement in the OP... far and away..

I really like The Scorpions' Lonesome Crow. Used to have the clear vinyl version.

"Money" is cool because of its 7/8 time - until the solo at the end though.

So whoever receives the most downvotes wins the most controversial opinion award?

+Judas Priest shouldn't be in the same discussion as Maiden and Sabbath as the best all-time metal bands.

The best heavy metal release of all time bar none is Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East.

Diver Down is Van Halen's best album.

Intruder is a better instrumental than Eruption.

Just say something bad about hair metal. Apparently there are a lot of people in this thread who consider the 1986 Firebird the sweetest car ever. Has to have t-tops, though.

Cinderella -- Night Songs is one of the best albums of the 80's and transcends hair metal and should be taken more seriously.

Cinderella is one of the best overall bands from the 80's. I hate that a lot of folks don't really rank them up there in the top tier of hair metal bands because they're absolutely incredible.

As said before, LCW is severely underrated. NS had good songs but they 'grew up' or were allowed to be who they wanted to be with LCW.

Dio Black Sabbath is much, much better than Ozzy Black Sabbath. I know many will disagree but I just think Dio is a far better vocalist. Also I'm a big fan of power metal so there s that.

AJFA is arguably the best album Metallica ever put out. My personal favorite as well.

Some of my other opinions:

Dokken was a really good band. Listening to George Lynch shredding is a thing of beauty.

Guns and Roses sucks. Outside of one or two songs, the rest is shite. I cringe whenever Welcome to the Jungle comes on the radio.

Testament is as good or better than "The Big 4"
