Here is your chance to get your say on what album I review. Once a month I review a twenty year old album so I need twelve albums to review. I have already done one for the year and I am pretty sure of eight others that I want to do which means I need three more. So I have decided that three times this year I would offer choices and you the reader get to vote for what 1986 album I will review. I will be reviewing Ozzy's the Ultimate Sin for February, but you will get to vote on what album I review in March. I will do one of these votes now, one in the summer and one in the fall and there will be a different theme each time. This time the theme will be hair metal so here are three 1986 albums to choose from.
Poison-Look what the cat dragged in
Ratt-Dancing Undercover
Stryper-To hell with the devil
So all you have to do is comment as to which of these albums you want me to review in March. I will figure some sort of a tiebreaker in the result of a tie vote. You have until February 15th to vote. So here's your chance, if you think I might write an interesting review on Poison or Ratt then you can pick one of those or you may say "That Metal Mark rubs me the wrong way so I want to stick it to him and force him to have to listen to Stryper!" then you can vote that way as well. So cast your vote now.
Just say no to Stryper! I agree with Ben; Poison gets my vote.
ReplyDeletePoison gets my vote, too. Looking forward to seeing your review of it.
ReplyDeleteRatt's Dancing Undercover is one of my guilty pleasures--clearly not as good as the first two albums, but still one that I find myself listening to entirely too much. I'd hate to see you burst my bubble ... so I'll go with consensus and vote for Bret, C.C., et al.
ReplyDeleteHave at 'em. I'm posting about concerts now ...

Poison. Hairband examplified.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Poison are running away with it. I am just glad that some people voted. David, I loved Ratt from 83-90 and Dancing Undercover might be my second favorite of theirs. However Poison's debut is probably more important because it helped open a floodgate for late 80's glam bands and the LA scene really opened up after this.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....I actually really liked all of these. You should definitely go with Poison, though.
ReplyDeleteSlim pickins, but I say Ratt
ReplyDeleteStrutter- I make fun of Stryper, but this was a successful album.
ReplyDeletet-bone- Don't worry the next two sets will have some heavier choices.
I'm all for poser/hair bands, but those Poison guys looked like sissies in that CD cover! Same goes for the tracks themselves.
ReplyDeleteAnd though I like Poison's work from the third album onwards, I can't say I like Stryper much at all, so I guess my vote would go to "Dancing Undercover"
Current tally shows:
ReplyDeletePoison 6
Ratt 3
Stryper 0
Still time to get your vote in.
Ratt!
