PS: just realised I’ve missed Stage Dolls -self titled album, so it’s now a top 11!
All great albums. Here are my top 10 for today anyway. 1. TNT - Intuition 2. Danger Danger - Screw It 3. Vain - No Respect 4. Steelheart - Steelheart 5. Heavy Pettin - Rock Ain't Dead 6. Saigon Kick - The Lizard 7. Dokken- Tooth and Nail 8. Autograph - Loud And Clear 9. Lion - Dangerous Attraction 10. Melidian - Lost In The Wild
My Top 10 (IMO Guns N‘ Roses was part of the movement 😉) 1. Dangerous Toys - Dangerous Toys 2. Skid Row - Slave To The Grind 3. L.A. Guns - L.A. Guns 4. Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil 5. Ratt - Out Of The Cellar 6. Guns N‘ Roses - Appetite For Destruction 7. Cinderella - Night Songs 8. Tesla - The Great Radio Controversy 9. Dokken - Under Lock And Key 10. Poison - Open Up And Say… Ahh!
Oh... I want to make my own list ;-) 1. Skid Row - skid row 2. Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood 3. Bon Jovi - New Jersey 4. Tesla - Psychotic Supper 5. Slaughter - The wild life 6. Firehouse - Firehouse 7. Warrant - Cherry Pie 8. Def Leppard - Hysteria 9. Poison - Open up and say ahhh! 10. Ratt - Detonator Skid Row best album is Slave to the Grind, but is certainly not a glam metal album... the first one either, but being my Favourite Band I couldn't leave it out. Appetite For Destruction is the best rock album of all time, my number 1 album too... but it isn't glam either.
These are probably my Top 10 fav albums released during the Glam Metal Era heyday. 1)Def Leppard- Hysteria (1987) 2)Bon Jovi- Slippery When Wet (1986) 3)Dokken-Under Lock and Key (1985) 4)Motley Crue- Girls, Girls, Girls (1987) 5)Cinderella- Night Songs (1986) 6)Ratt- Out of the Cellar (1984) 7)FireHouse- FireHouse S/T (1990) 8)Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In (1986) 9)Alice Cooper- Trash (1989) 10) Tesla- Mechanical Resonance (1986) HM)Kix- Blow My Fuse (1988) HM) Scorpions- Love at First Sting (1984)
Alice Cooper Trash is my fave of his albums too. But I chose not to include it since he himself was never part of the Glam Metal thing, he just made an album in the style.
@@BrendonSnyder Alice worked on it with Jon Bon Jovi so to me it fits in the glam metal category. Its not that much different than Hysteria, where Def Leppard is not really a glam band, just as Alice is not 'glam' just released a glam style album.
@@gizzy2403 Yeah, agree, Tesla is one of those bands like Europe, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Def Leppard, etc that are not really pure glam but were inspired by the genre at the time. Honestly, I only put them on this list because they toured heavily with Poison in the late 80s.
Great list! Although I'd pick LA Guns debut or cooked and loaded over winger. But i love both bands. Other honourable mentions Steelheart- Tangled in Reins White Lion - Pride Giant- Time to Burn Whitenake 1987
So many great bands with so few spaces is what it comes down to. I really wanted to include Great White and White Lion, but just couldn’t drop any of the albums that were in my Top 10.
@@BrendonSnyder it's odd cause for me I don't think of Great White is glam though I understand why they are considered for that genre. Same with tesla and cinderella. Both are rooted on blues rock while tesla is just hard rock to me
Hello Brendon, I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying it. Thank you. Below, I have listed my top 11 glam metal albums of all time, including their beginnings. 1. Faster Pussycat “Faster Pussycat”, 1987. 2. New York Dolls “New York Dolls”, 1973. 3. Hanoi Rocks “Self Destruction Blues” 1982 4. Poison “Open up and say ahhh!”, 1988. 5. Cinderella “Long Cold Winter”, 1988 6. Mötley Crüe “Too Fast For Love”, 1981 7. Ratt “Out of the Cellar”, 1984 8. Def Leppard “Hysteria” , 1987 9. Warrant “Cherry Pie”, 1990. 10. Pretty Boy Floyd “Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz” 1989 11. White Lion “Pride”, 1987.
Love the Ratt shirt! I may be the biggest Ratt fan. Out of the cellar album could of had 7 singles come off of it! God bless all the Ratt n rollers. Thank you buddy!
Cool you included "Long Cold Winter" - I love this album! My top 5: Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet, Tesla: Great Radio Controversy, Whitesnake (I know they aren't a glam metal band, but the 1987 album was definitively perceived as such), Def Leppard: Hysteria and the mentioned Cinderella album. HM: Pride by White Lion
White Lion’s Pride almost made my list too. I thought about Whitesanke’s 1987 self titled album and Aerosmith’s Pump but opted not to include them since neither started as Glam Metal bands.
These bands were great. Love Cinderella, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Skid Row.. I still listen to this music cause it's way better than the crap that's on the radio nowadays. Fans won't forget these bands ever.
Hey Brendon, your list is pretty damn good! I do hope those are your "true" faves though and not just recognizing the "big sellers". I judge these Top 10 lists on the talent in the grooves (back in the day) or on discs in more recent times. No reason a band of lesser reknown can't produce one of the greatest "glam metal" albums of all time. Case in point is Icon's "Night of the Crime" or Firehouse's S/T or Hurricane's "Slave to the Thrill" anyway here's my list: 1. Dokken - Back For The Attack 1987 2. Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy 1985 3. Icon - Night of the Crime 1985 4. Firehouse - S/T 1991 5. Von Groove - S/T 1992 6. XYZ - Hungry 1991 7. Winger - S/T 1988 8. Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation 1990 9. Hurricane - Slave to the Thrill 1989 10. Black 'N Blue - Without Love 1985 HM to Kix - Blow My Fuse, Def Leppard - Hysteria, Britny Fox - Bite Down Hard, Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood & Eyes - S/T. Great Episode Brendon Keep Rockin'!!!
My favorite albums are theater of pain from 1985 and whitesnake 1987. Awesome heavy metal Glam album. Guns n roses were a really good glam metal band too. Leather chaps and heavy makeup that rivaled poison.
great list. idve included vinnie vincent invasions all systems go - even if just for love kills and that time of year tracks. good inclusion of the slaughter album.
Kane Robert’s-Saints and Sinners is the best glam album that most people haven’t even heard. Also Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi should definitely be on this list in front of Winger or Extreme
While I like Bon Jovi a lot there isn’t that one album that I go back to all the time that stands out for me so I didn’t include them. But they’re definitely deserving.
1) Theater or Pain... 2) Invasion of Your Privacy... 3) Hysteria... 4) Slippery When Wet... 5) Under Lock & Key... 6) Cherry Pie... 7) Long Cold Winter... 7) Out Of The Cellar... 8) Shout At The Devil... 9) Stick It To Ya... 10) Once Bitten Twice Shy .......... Thats my Top 10
Awesome list. Here are my 10 glam metal albums: 10. Dr Feelgood by Mötley Crüe 9. Hysteria by Def Leppard 8. Pride by White Lion 7. Out of the Cellar by Ratt 6. Back for the Attack by Dokken 5. The Great Radio Controversy by Tesla 3. Dirty Rotten Stinking Filthy Rich by Warrant 2. Babylon AD by Babylon AD 1. Look What the Cat Dragged In by Poison
@@BrendonSnyder Yea, I’m at work and I thought I add the album on my list. Love the debut album by Warrant what set the stage for Cherry Pie. ‘Dream Warriors’ from the album Back for the Attack by Dokken is on the movie soundtrack of my favorite horror movies ‘Nightmare on Elm Street Part III (‘87)’.
If I included a Faster Pussycat album it would be their 2nd one Wake Me When It’s Over. But I agree with LA Guns, Cocked And Loaded is great. But I also love Hollywood Vampires.
I recently listened to the first five Ratt, and it's a really solid album run. I'd throw in what's become a personal favourite: the debut from Danger Danger. Perhaps it's too much AOR to count here, though. I always found glam/hair metal hard to define, especially when discovering it so long after.
10."Under Lock and Key"Dokken 9."Long Cold Winter"Cinderella 8."Out of the cellar"RATT 7."1984"Van Halen 6."Open up and Say Ahh"Poison 5."Pyromania"Def Leppard 4."Slippery when Wet"Bon Jovi 3."Apitite For Destruction"GNR 2."DR.Feelgood" Motley Crue 1."Hysteria"Def Leppard
What a Top 10 list, great albums. What a trip to that times. Thou you broke my heart not including Bon Jovi New Jersey, so many top 5 hits, they influence most of the bands here.
1. Ratt - out of the cellar 2. Cinderella - night songs 3. Britny fox - britny fox 4. Poison - look what the cat 5. Dokken - back for the attack 6. Warrant - DRFSR 7. Def leppard - hysteria 8. Firehouse - firehouse 9. White lion - pride 10. Accept - eat the heat
Top Glam Metal Albums: Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil Dokken - Tooth And Nail Cats In Boots - Kicked And Clawed Sea Hags - same Def Leppard - Hysteria Cinderella - Night Songs Faster Pussycat - same L.A. Guns - same Kix - Blow My Fuse Skid Row - Slave To The Grind Spread Eagle - same RATT - Out Of The Cellar
@@BrendonSnyder Brendon, my friend, you have introduced myself and countless others to numerous, under the radar, glam metal gems! I especially liked Slik Toxik and McQueen St. and Sleaze Been! I have a list of other glam metal artists that you've touted, and will be looking in to. Can't thank you enough! Keep up the great channel!🎸
I agree with a lot of these but love them or hate them I think My list would Have Firehouse take away the ballads it has a lot of rockin kick ass songs on it! And Bon Jovi slippery when wet! Must have on my top 10
I call the genre “hair metal” with no disrespect intended. I feel it’s a better description since “glam was more of a 70s thing with Bowie, NY Dolls, Sweet, T. Rex, etc. I also included a couple of 70s bands that hit their stride in the 80s hair metal era. Just my opinion. In no particular order … 1. Motley - Shout 2. Ratt - Cellar 3. Def Leppard - Hysreria 4. Cinderella - Night Songs 5. Warrant - DRFSR 6. GNR - Appetite 7. Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry 8. Whitesnake - Slide It In 9. Poison - LWTCDI 10. LA Guns - LA Guns 11. WASP - WASP 12. Black N Blue - Nasty Nasty 13. Vain - Vain 14. Great White - Once Bitten… 15. Faster Pussycat - FP 1 16. Scorpions - LAFS
Glam Rock of the 70’s is completely different from Glam Metal of the 80’s. Names are different and easy to distinguish. Glam Metal was the term used during the era so that’s the official term I go with. These bands were more than their hair.
Love your lists, love your videos… this one there’s a lot to have varied opinions about. The best Winger and Warrant albums are Pull and Dog Eat Dog. Warrant wasn’t even playing those songs on Cherry Pie- session players played a lot of it. The whole term glam is in accurate, too… Glam refers to Slade, Bowie, NY Dolls, etc. Sunset Strip rock, 80s Hard Rock… Man, I wish I could have a sit down conversation with you- we’d talk for hours! Cocked and Loaded (or at least S/T) LA Guns gotta be there with Never Enough having the best riff of the genre. Anyway, kudos to you for narrowing down to a top10. I try, it’s a very difficult task!!! Keep the videos coming! PS Without You was my wedding song. It should be included in their live set!
The term Glam Metal is from back in the day during the era. I promise you it’s accurate, I lived through it. As far as session players on albums…that may be true but they wrote the songs. But bands aren’t only about studio recordings, live performance is also key to a bands success. There were no hidden players behind curtains. This is not difference than people who love Kiss Alive and UFO’s Strangers In The Night. Both are not really live albums. They had so much of it doctored in the studio that to me they’re not really live anymore. It’s a studio produced album that sounds live. But people accept that. What’s the big deal if session people play on an album? That’s how David Bowie, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and thousands of other artists do it.
@@BrendonSnyder oh I wasn’t trying to come off argumentative, I lived through it also - actually doing work for labels. In the day it was either heavy metal or hard rock and then the bazillion four hundred thousand nine nndred and sixty two subgenres were created. The glam term was more or less a negative connotation that came about when grunge was peaking. Yes, the bands were all over the top and excess was everywhere but while it was happening it was heavy metal and hard rock. Maybe I just remember the negativity associated with it for a few years. Either way, it doesn’t matter… Did you do a video yet top xx records from glam bands that came out in 92-93-94-95??? We got a bunch of spectacular ones that shoulda done better business if the business woulda done their jobs. As for Warrant. I’m not putting them down in anyway. I loved them from the beginning, even Plain Jane. I love them today.
Hard to disagree with that list , you have all the big names there . I like how you left out the bands that just jumped on the Glam wagon trend for one album . Not a Winger fan ( only knew of him from playing with Alice Cooper ) but I did wonder about the Sahara thing , nice bit of trivia .
Yeah that’s why I didn’t include albums like Aerosmith’s Pump or Alice Cooper’s Trash. Both albums I love from the era, but neither band was Glam Metal. They just made albums in that style.
So when I think of that era of “glam/hair” bands these come to mind 1. Poison- Look What The Cat Dragged In 2. Cinderella- Night Songs 3. Ratt- Out Of The Cellar 4. Dokken- Under Lock And Key 5. Bon Jovi- Slippery When Wet 6. Motley Crue- Theatre Of Pain 7. Slaughter- Stick It To Ya 8. Warrant- Cherry Pie 9. Winger- S/T Debut 10. Faster Pussycat- S/T Debut Funny as I look at the list Bon Jovi ended up having the most success but Slippery is the only one I pretty much ignore now 🤣🤣
My top 10 right now(also excluding Appetite For Destruction or any Skid Row outside the debut) 1. Hysteria 2. Skid Row 3. Dr. Feelgood 4. Too Fast For Love 5. Cherry Pie 6. Flesh and Blood (Poison) 7. Long Cold Winter 8. Slippery When Wet 9. Firehouse 10. Stick It To Ya or Heartbreak Station Some fantastic albums in this sub genre.
Hey man! 👋 Digging the video. Just wish you would keep the album on screen while you talk about it. I like looking at the covers. 😄 Maybe like on a little display stand or something.
great list man ...makes me think of yesterday... not figuratively... literally... as in "i was playin my cinderella cd in my car YESTERDAY" ...haha ...they say glam rock went outta fashion... i say "who cares" & CRANK IT to 11 ...because its ONE LOUDER!
Great video but I would have included no respect by vain. The self titled album by spread eagle and bezerk by Welsh glamsters tigertailz. Greetings from London England. Cheers
@@BrendonSnyder btw to me the numero uno is Hysteria..no doubt abt it..and i would hv put Night Songs in instead..more glam hooks and songs in there. Cheers Brendon.
1- MC Shout Devil 2 - Def Lep Hysteria 3 - MC Feelgood 4 - Skid Row Debut 5 - Warrant Debut 6 - Bon Jovi Slippery 7 - Faster Pussycat Wake Me 8 - LA Guns Cocked Loaded 9 - Aerosmith Pump 10 - Poison Flesh Blood If Warrant would of put Sad Theresa on the debut as the last track , that would of completed an exceptional debut . All 3 of Cinderella initial releases are great . They were more AC/DC blues based than glam sound . Tesla more almost southern rock than glam , with their first 3 being amazing records .
I would argue that the roots of glam go all the way back to Robert Plant. He was/is the foundation that the rest stood upon. Im not saying Zep was glam in any way, tho there were elements of their music that inspired glam in the coming years. Cinderella's Night Songs is probably my all time fave glam record. I love 1st 2 Motley Crue albums as well, even tho they kinda lost me till Dr Feelgood. Skid Rows debut is soooo much fun. Whitesnake - Whitesnake probably should have been on the list. Great vid. Fun discussion.
I would have thrown in New Jersey and white snake 87. However… opinions are like belly buttons. We all have them even if they get a little hairy at times.
Yeah I did think of including both bands. As far Whitesnake, while 1987 is clearly a Glam Metal album, the band is from the 70’s and not a Glam Metal band. Just a band that released a couple albums in that style. So I opted not to include them.
You always talk about songs that were radio hits, I wish you would talk about what songs are your favorites. Do you like any songs that weren’t hits? What are your favorite deep cuts?
You just haven’t watched enough of my videos if you think I only like the hits. I’m always discussing deep cuts. They’re often times better than the hits.
I'm really surprised that Bon Jovi wasn't close to th top w/ Slippery When Wet or New Jersey. Hysteria getting beat by Dr. Feelgood?? Never thought I'd hear that! 😅 Cool list though🍻
Remember it’s all just personal opinion. I’m a bigger fan of these album than what Bon Jovi released at the time. That’s not to say I don’t like those albums and they weren’t big. But, for me these albums beat out the ones you mention.
As much as I adore Extreme II, I wouldn't count them as glam. They for me are more of the funk sound coming off Living Colour, and they had started to lost the image after the debut album
@@BrendonSnyder I would argue they were much closer to RHCP than glam bands, going to things like the lyrical content and the sound being much more bass oriented
Cinderella got lumped in with glam, I never thought they were, I think Cinderella was just straight up Rock and Roll, Aerosmith had to be a huge influence.
Top 10 are just that, Top 10….can’t have a part 2 or it would be a Top 20…😂. But for covering all the other lesser known Glam Metal I have the series Glam Metal Gems.
@@dumbguydepot304 Firehouse especially the debut..when it was release it was quite a big deal here where i lived..Great White for sure.. Danger Danger debut just to name a few.
@@salamwati9281 Danger Danger with the horribly underrated guitarist (Andy Timmons) and the Canadian lead singer (Paul Laine who my good friend is a writing partner with now). They have some good songs. Firehouse with my fav 'Don't Treat Me Bad'! Love that song. Never ever liked Great White. Hated the singer for whatever reason? Once Bitten Twice Shy was a pretty big hit for them.
c'mon man, where's the bang tango or faster pussycat? jk. good list, i agree pretty much with the rankings, although the top 3 albums, personally, i didn't like. i did listen the shit out of detonator, lol.
Love those smaller bands but it’s just that, they were the 2nd and 3rd tier bands and hard to bump one of the major bands for the smaller ones who had less impact.
Never heard that. But he was also part of Glam Rock and that’s a different genre from Glam Metal. The Godfather of Glam Rock would be David Bowie in my opinion. The Godfather of Glam Metal would be Van Halen.
SHOUT is a dangerous killer album, but FEELGOOD is sexy and sleazy, so probably makes for a better GLAM ALBUM. Most agree that SHOUT is where it's at for MOTLEY .
A genre that never really took off outside the US which probably explains why no British bands make the list (I wouldnt call Def Leppard a glam metal band). Enjoy your vids Brendon!
Glam Metal was a completely American thing just like the NWOBHM was a British thing that didn’t happen in the States. But Glam Metal was very big outside the US with lots of these bands doing huge world tours. And yes as I mentioned in the video Def Leppard started out as a NWOBHM band but morphed into a Glam Metal band. IMO, that’s what they became and have remained ever since. Everything about them form the sound, look, song style, lyrics, etc. scream Glam Metal.
@@BrendonSnyder " Thriller" set the Bar pretty high. Gotta Love they're Ambition & some of those Albums Sold Tons....

Motley Crue - shout at the devil Dokken - Back for the attack Ratt - into the cellar Europe - the final countdown Skid row Britny Foxx - BOYS în Heat Warrant - dirty filfthy Whitesnake 1987 Bon jovi - new Jersey Van Halen
I know he said that but still he wrote it, recorded it, named the album it, filmed a video, had cherry pie eating contests and married the girl from the video. If he really hated it as much as he says he did, I don’t see why he went along with all of that. I tend to think that he hated how it pigeon holed him and it became a joke during the rise of Grunge which made him blame the record label for asking him to write it. But he still did it himself. Too bad he felt that way because I know a lot of people who love that song and album. I think if Jani were alive today he’d feel differently about it. It would be his bread and butter.
@@BrendonSnyder yeah true - also he had developed a bad drinking habit as well. I think he wanted the album to be more of a concept album if I remember correctly but the record company said no
Since Van Halen started in 1978 before Glam Metal existed, even though Van Halen should be credited with creating it, I don’t count Van Halen as Glam Metal so I didn’t include them. As for Bon Jovi, great band, I just don’t have a fave album that I go back to like I do the ones in my list otherwise I would have included them too.
I hate to be that guy but…. Dr. Feelgood isn’t even the Crue’s best album I would take Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil over it. While Kickstart My Heart and Don’t Go Away Mad are two of my favorites from them I think overall track for track it doesn’t stack up. 1. Slice of Your Pie 2. Rattlesnake Shake 3. Sticky Sweet 4. She Goes Down are just terrible and at best are fillers. Which song would you replace from Shout with any of those songs?
I feel Out Of The Cellar is under developed. I like the hits off it but the rest of the album falls flat for me. The first real Ratt album that has a consistent sound and is firing on all cylinders is Invasion Of Your Privacy IMO.
I personally would not consider Def Leppard or Skid Row 'glam' per se, they may have had albums or a look/style inspired by the genre, like many other artists of the time though but so did GNR, so I would just call it Top 10 Albums from the Glam Metal Era.
Good, you watched the whole video to figure that out! 😂 JK…I love those bands too but not as much as the ones in my list. It’s hard to narrow down to just 10 albums.
Hard to define exactly what’s glam and what’s not. “Shout” is motley’s masterpiece, but I’ve never considered it “glam”. It’s just metal. Same with “Slave to the Grind”. Not a glam album.
Shout is a good album but far from their “masterpiece” IMO. But then I came into the band with Dr. Feelgood so I’m going to be bias towards that album because it introduced me to the band.
@@BrendonSnyder feelgood is a great record, for sure. The debut is also a masterpiece, “Theater” is mostly great, and the Corabi album slays!! “Girls” is watered down by a lot of filler, however.
If you didn’t like it that’s fine, and then I wouldn’t expect you to pay attention to these bands today. But as far as “where are they now”….😂😂😂….Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Poison did a stadium tour last year that was the highest grossing concert tour for the year. I think most are doing ok…🤦♂️
Glam has held up way better... and lasted far longer... than Grunge, which was really just a flash in the pan.....and where are those grunge guys now....mostly dead.
Either of the first two Cinderella albums could easily be top 10 all time. Night Songs is incredible as well
Great list! So many memories. White Lion is a strong contender. Vito Bratta was criminally overlooked.

Motley Crue - debut
Poison - Flesh & Blood

I don't think Aerosmith Pump is glam metal
Hey Brendon. Great to see Detonator in your Top 10. My favorite Ratt album as well.
Cool 👍
Underrated album for sure - I would have probably picked Out of the Cellar for this list personally but Detonator is a solid album
@Wez666 God bless you fellow rocker! Jesus saves sinners! God bless all the ratt n rollers!

1. TNT - Intuition

10. Ratt - Detonator
Skid Row best album is Slave to the Grind, but is certainly not a glam metal album... the first one either, but being my Favourite Band I couldn't leave it out. Appetite For Destruction is the best rock album of all time, my number 1 album too... but it isn't glam either.
That’s a great list, I love everyone one of those bands! 👍
These are probably my Top 10 fav albums released during the Glam Metal Era heyday.
1)Def Leppard- Hysteria (1987)
2)Bon Jovi- Slippery When Wet (1986)
3)Dokken-Under Lock and Key (1985)
4)Motley Crue- Girls, Girls, Girls (1987)
5)Cinderella- Night Songs (1986)
6)Ratt- Out of the Cellar (1984)
7)FireHouse- FireHouse S/T (1990)
8)Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In (1986)
9)Alice Cooper- Trash (1989)
10) Tesla- Mechanical Resonance (1986)
HM)Kix- Blow My Fuse (1988)
HM) Scorpions- Love at First Sting (1984)
Alice Cooper Trash is my fave of his albums too. But I chose not to include it since he himself was never part of the Glam Metal thing, he just made an album in the style.
@@BrendonSnyder Alice worked on it with Jon Bon Jovi so to me it fits in the glam metal category. Its not that much different than Hysteria, where Def Leppard is not really a glam band, just as Alice is not 'glam' just released a glam style album.
@@BrendonSnyder Same as Def Leppard Brendon. They had the worst Glam look ever. Lol Andy H
How dare you put Tesla on a " glam " list! They are in no way, shape, or form glam! That's Rock & Roll heresy, man! I recommend excommunication!😅🍻
@@gizzy2403 Yeah, agree, Tesla is one of those bands like Europe, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Def Leppard, etc that are not really pure glam but were inspired by the genre at the time. Honestly, I only put them on this list because they toured heavily with Poison in the late 80s.
Great list! Although I'd pick LA Guns debut or cooked and loaded over winger. But i love both bands.
Other honourable mentions
Steelheart- Tangled in Reins
White Lion - Pride
Giant- Time to Burn
Whitenake 1987
So many great bands with so few spaces is what it comes down to. I really wanted to include Great White and White Lion, but just couldn’t drop any of the albums that were in my Top 10.
@@BrendonSnyder it's odd cause for me I don't think of Great White is glam though I understand why they are considered for that genre. Same with tesla and cinderella. Both are rooted on blues rock while tesla is just hard rock to me
Hello Brendon, I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying it. Thank you.
Below, I have listed my top 11 glam metal albums of all time, including their beginnings.
1. Faster Pussycat “Faster Pussycat”, 1987.

Love the Ratt shirt! I may be the biggest Ratt fan. Out of the cellar album could of had 7 singles come off of it! God bless all the Ratt n rollers. Thank you buddy!
Nice to meet another Ratt fan!
hey ! Greg love you for you maybe the biggest RATT fan❤❤❤❤ I'm also a huge fan of RATT with love and respect from Pakistan ❤❤❤ long live RATT n ROLL
Cool you included "Long Cold Winter" - I love this album! My top 5: Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet, Tesla: Great Radio Controversy, Whitesnake (I know they aren't a glam metal band, but the 1987 album was definitively perceived as such), Def Leppard: Hysteria and the mentioned Cinderella album. HM: Pride by White Lion
White Lion’s Pride almost made my list too. I thought about Whitesanke’s 1987 self titled album and Aerosmith’s Pump but opted not to include them since neither started as Glam Metal bands.
These bands were great. Love Cinderella, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Skid Row.. I still listen to this music cause it's way better than the crap that's on the radio nowadays. Fans won't forget these bands ever.
Hey Brendon, your list is pretty damn good! I do hope those are your "true" faves though and not just recognizing the "big sellers". I judge these Top 10 lists on the talent in the grooves (back in the day) or on discs in more recent times. No reason a band of lesser reknown can't produce one of the greatest "glam metal" albums of all time. Case in point is Icon's "Night of the Crime" or Firehouse's S/T or Hurricane's "Slave to the Thrill" anyway here's my list:
1. Dokken - Back For The Attack 1987
2. Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy 1985
3. Icon - Night of the Crime 1985
4. Firehouse - S/T 1991
5. Von Groove - S/T 1992
6. XYZ - Hungry 1991
7. Winger - S/T 1988
8. Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation 1990
9. Hurricane - Slave to the Thrill 1989
10. Black 'N Blue - Without Love 1985
HM to Kix - Blow My Fuse, Def Leppard - Hysteria, Britny Fox - Bite Down Hard, Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood & Eyes - S/T.
Great Episode Brendon Keep Rockin'!!!
Cool list! I love Firehouse!
Great list!! Also,Dokken "Under Lock and Key". Bulletboys selt- titled debut. Also,Fifth Angel's 2nd album "Time will Tell" incredible! Really enjoy you're channel!!
Thanks for helping keep this Genre in 2023
My pleasure Kevin!
My favorite albums are theater of pain from 1985 and whitesnake 1987. Awesome heavy metal Glam album. Guns n roses were a really good glam metal band too. Leather chaps and heavy makeup that rivaled poison.
great list. idve included vinnie vincent invasions all
systems go - even if just for love kills and that time of year tracks. good inclusion of the slaughter album.
Kane Robert’s-Saints and Sinners is the best glam album that most people haven’t even heard. Also Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi should definitely be on this list in front of Winger or Extreme
While I like Bon Jovi a lot there isn’t that one album that I go back to all the time that stands out for me so I didn’t include them. But they’re definitely deserving.
I have there cd lol but agree
1) Theater or Pain... 2) Invasion of Your Privacy... 3) Hysteria... 4) Slippery When Wet... 5) Under Lock & Key... 6) Cherry Pie... 7) Long Cold Winter... 7) Out Of The Cellar... 8) Shout At The Devil... 9) Stick It To Ya... 10) Once Bitten Twice Shy .......... Thats my Top 10
Great list!
Awesome list. Here are my 10 glam metal albums:
10. Dr Feelgood by Mötley Crüe
9. Hysteria by Def Leppard
8. Pride by White Lion
7. Out of the Cellar by Ratt
6. Back for the Attack by Dokken
5. The Great Radio Controversy by Tesla
3. Dirty Rotten Stinking Filthy Rich by Warrant
2. Babylon AD by Babylon AD
1. Look What the Cat Dragged In by Poison
I almost had White Lion Pride on my list.
@@BrendonSnyder Yea, I’m at work and I thought I add the album on my list. Love the debut album by Warrant what set the stage for Cherry Pie. ‘Dream Warriors’ from the album Back for the Attack by Dokken is on the movie soundtrack of my favorite horror movies ‘Nightmare on Elm Street Part III (‘87)’.
@@BrendonSnyder I saw them open for AC/DC. AC/DC was very good and they were on right before them.
Just remembered I had to choose between this and Aerosmith and GnR, I chose wrong but still ac/dc
I think I'd include Faster Pussycat's debut, LA Guns Cocked and Loaded, Hanoi Rocks Self Destruction Blues,
If I included a Faster Pussycat album it would be their 2nd one Wake Me When It’s Over. But I agree with LA Guns, Cocked And Loaded is great. But I also love Hollywood Vampires.
I recently listened to the first five Ratt, and it's a really solid album run. I'd throw in what's become a personal favourite: the debut from Danger Danger. Perhaps it's too much AOR to count here, though. I always found glam/hair metal hard to define, especially when discovering it so long after.
10."Under Lock and Key"Dokken
9."Long Cold Winter"Cinderella
8."Out of the cellar"RATT
7."1984"Van Halen
6."Open up and Say Ahh"Poison
5."Pyromania"Def Leppard
4."Slippery when Wet"Bon Jovi
3."Apitite For Destruction"GNR
2."DR.Feelgood" Motley Crue
1."Hysteria"Def Leppard
What a Top 10 list, great albums. What a trip to that times. Thou you broke my heart not including Bon Jovi New Jersey, so many top 5 hits, they influence most of the bands here.
1. Ratt - out of the cellar
2. Cinderella - night songs
3. Britny fox - britny fox
4. Poison - look what the cat
5. Dokken - back for the attack
6. Warrant - DRFSR
7. Def leppard - hysteria
8. Firehouse - firehouse

@@BrendonSnyder Brendon, my friend, you have introduced myself and countless others to numerous, under the radar, glam metal gems! I especially liked Slik Toxik and McQueen St. and Sleaze Been! I have a list of other glam metal artists that you've touted, and will be looking in to. Can't thank you enough! Keep up the great channel!🎸
Awesome info Brendon top collection 10
I agree with a lot of these but love them or hate them I think My list would Have Firehouse take away the ballads it has a lot of rockin kick ass songs on it! And Bon Jovi slippery when wet! Must have on my top 10
I definitely debated having both of those as well. Great albums.
I call the genre “hair metal” with no disrespect intended. I feel it’s a better description since “glam was more of a 70s thing with Bowie, NY Dolls, Sweet, T. Rex, etc. I also included a couple of 70s bands that hit their stride in the 80s hair metal era. Just my opinion.
In no particular order …
1. Motley - Shout
2. Ratt - Cellar
3. Def Leppard - Hysreria
4. Cinderella - Night Songs
5. Warrant - DRFSR
6. GNR - Appetite
7. Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry
8. Whitesnake - Slide It In
9. Poison - LWTCDI
10. LA Guns - LA Guns
11. WASP - WASP
12. Black N Blue - Nasty Nasty
13. Vain - Vain
14. Great White - Once Bitten…
15. Faster Pussycat - FP 1
16. Scorpions - LAFS
Glam Rock of the 70’s is completely different from Glam Metal of the 80’s. Names are different and easy to distinguish. Glam Metal was the term used during the era so that’s the official term I go with. These bands were more than their hair.
Love your lists, love your videos… this one there’s a lot to have varied opinions about. The best Winger and Warrant albums are Pull and Dog Eat Dog. Warrant wasn’t even playing those songs on Cherry Pie- session players played a lot of it. The whole term glam is in accurate, too… Glam refers to Slade, Bowie, NY Dolls, etc. Sunset Strip rock, 80s Hard Rock… Man, I wish I could have a sit down conversation with you- we’d talk for hours! Cocked and Loaded (or at least S/T) LA Guns gotta be there with Never Enough having the best riff of the genre. Anyway, kudos to you for narrowing down to a top10. I try, it’s a very difficult task!!! Keep the videos coming! PS Without You was my wedding song. It should be included in their live set!
The term Glam Metal is from back in the day during the era. I promise you it’s accurate, I lived through it. As far as session players on albums…that may be true but they wrote the songs. But bands aren’t only about studio recordings, live performance is also key to a bands success. There were no hidden players behind curtains. This is not difference than people who love Kiss Alive and UFO’s Strangers In The Night. Both are not really live albums. They had so much of it doctored in the studio that to me they’re not really live anymore. It’s a studio produced album that sounds live. But people accept that. What’s the big deal if session people play on an album? That’s how David Bowie, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and thousands of other artists do it.
@@BrendonSnyder oh I wasn’t trying to come off argumentative, I lived through it also - actually doing work for labels. In the day it was either heavy metal or hard rock and then the bazillion four hundred thousand nine nndred and sixty two subgenres were created. The glam term was more or less a negative connotation that came about when grunge was peaking. Yes, the bands were all over the top and excess was everywhere but while it was happening it was heavy metal and hard rock. Maybe I just remember the negativity associated with it for a few years. Either way, it doesn’t matter… Did you do a video yet top xx records from glam bands that came out in 92-93-94-95??? We got a bunch of spectacular ones that shoulda done better business if the business woulda done their jobs. As for Warrant. I’m not putting them down in anyway. I loved them from the beginning, even Plain Jane. I love them today.
Hard to disagree with that list , you have all the big names there . I like how you left out the bands that just jumped on the Glam wagon trend for one album . Not a Winger fan ( only knew of him from playing with Alice Cooper ) but I did wonder about the Sahara thing , nice bit of trivia .
Yeah that’s why I didn’t include albums like Aerosmith’s Pump or Alice Cooper’s Trash. Both albums I love from the era, but neither band was Glam Metal. They just made albums in that style.
So when I think of that era of “glam/hair” bands these come to mind
1. Poison- Look What The Cat Dragged In
2. Cinderella- Night Songs
3. Ratt- Out Of The Cellar
4. Dokken- Under Lock And Key
5. Bon Jovi- Slippery When Wet
6. Motley Crue- Theatre Of Pain
7. Slaughter- Stick It To Ya
8. Warrant- Cherry Pie
9. Winger- S/T Debut
10. Faster Pussycat- S/T Debut
Funny as I look at the list Bon Jovi ended up having the most success but Slippery is the only one I pretty much ignore now 🤣🤣
Yes! Faster Pussycat gets overlooked a lot.
My top 10 right now(also excluding Appetite For Destruction or any Skid Row outside the debut)
1. Hysteria
2. Skid Row
3. Dr. Feelgood
4. Too Fast For Love
5. Cherry Pie
6. Flesh and Blood (Poison)
7. Long Cold Winter
8. Slippery When Wet
9. Firehouse
10. Stick It To Ya or Heartbreak Station
Some fantastic albums in this sub genre.
Really decent list, I probably agree with half of them. There are so many to choose from.
Best Glam ROCK album...Sweet Fanny Adams by the incomparable The Sweet. Given the thumbs up by Mr Blackmore no less.
Hey man! 👋 Digging the video. Just wish you would keep the album on screen while you talk about it. I like looking at the covers. 😄 Maybe like on a little display stand or something.
I’m using the iPad for info as well as the pictures so I can’t hold it up the whole time or place it on a stand.
great list man ...makes me think of yesterday... not figuratively... literally... as in "i was playin my cinderella cd in my car YESTERDAY" ...haha ...they say glam rock went outta fashion... i say "who cares" & CRANK IT to 11 ...because its ONE LOUDER!
Every album on this list are amazing.
I feel the same way!
1. Bon Jovi - slippery
2. Motley Crue - girls
3. Def Leppard - Hysteria
4. Poison - open up
5. Europe - countdown
6. Whitesnake - 1987
7. GnR - appetite
8. Ratt - cellar
9. Dokken - lock n key
10. Winger - st
i’m missing Danger Danger :,(
i hope you have all their albums in those 12,000 CD’s
Great video but I would have included no respect by vain. The self titled album by spread eagle and bezerk by Welsh glamsters tigertailz. Greetings from London England. Cheers
Vain is awesome indeed.
I am glad you did not include GNR..so many other good bands & gems to mention.😎
That was the idea. I could have included them but it would have been a given they would be at #1
@@BrendonSnyder btw to me the numero uno is Hysteria..no doubt abt it..and i would hv put Night Songs in instead..more glam hooks and songs in there. Cheers Brendon.
Great list! All are in my collection and get play regularly.
Awesome!👍
1- MC Shout Devil
2 - Def Lep Hysteria
3 - MC Feelgood
4 - Skid Row Debut
5 - Warrant Debut
6 - Bon Jovi Slippery
7 - Faster Pussycat Wake Me
8 - LA Guns Cocked Loaded
9 - Aerosmith Pump
10 - Poison Flesh Blood
If Warrant would of put Sad Theresa on the debut as the last track , that would of completed an exceptional debut . All 3 of Cinderella initial releases are great . They were more AC/DC blues based than glam sound . Tesla more almost southern rock than glam , with their first 3 being amazing records .
Great list!
I would argue that the roots of glam go all the way back to Robert Plant. He was/is the foundation that the rest stood upon. Im not saying Zep was glam in any way, tho there were elements of their music that inspired glam in the coming years.
Cinderella's Night Songs is probably my all time fave glam record. I love 1st 2 Motley Crue albums as well, even tho they kinda lost me till Dr Feelgood. Skid Rows debut is soooo much fun. Whitesnake - Whitesnake probably should have been on the list.
Great vid. Fun discussion.
I would have thrown in New Jersey and white snake 87. However… opinions are like belly buttons. We all have them even if they get a little hairy at times.
Yeah I did think of including both bands. As far Whitesnake, while 1987 is clearly a Glam Metal album, the band is from the 70’s and not a Glam Metal band. Just a band that released a couple albums in that style. So I opted not to include them.
You always talk about songs that were radio hits, I wish you would talk about what songs are your favorites. Do you like any songs that weren’t hits? What are your favorite deep cuts?
You just haven’t watched enough of my videos if you think I only like the hits. I’m always discussing deep cuts. They’re often times better than the hits.
I'm really surprised that Bon Jovi wasn't close to th top w/ Slippery When Wet or New Jersey. Hysteria getting beat by Dr. Feelgood?? Never thought I'd hear that! 😅 Cool list though🍻
Remember it’s all just personal opinion. I’m a bigger fan of these album than what Bon Jovi released at the time. That’s not to say I don’t like those albums and they weren’t big. But, for me these albums beat out the ones you mention.
As much as I adore Extreme II, I wouldn't count them as glam. They for me are more of the funk sound coming off Living Colour, and they had started to lost the image after the debut album
They were definitely Glam Metal. Living Colour was also Glam Metal.
@@BrendonSnyder I would argue they were much closer to RHCP than glam bands, going to things like the lyrical content and the sound being much more bass oriented
Cinderella got lumped in with glam, I never thought they were, I think Cinderella was just straight up Rock and Roll, Aerosmith had to be a huge influence.

Hey stoopid
Hope you do a part 2..cover the rest of the not so big names Brandon.
Top 10 are just that, Top 10….can’t have a part 2 or it would be a Top 20…😂. But for covering all the other lesser known Glam Metal I have the series Glam Metal Gems.
Who did he leave off that you want to see?
@@dumbguydepot304 Firehouse especially the debut..when it was release it was quite a big deal here where i lived..Great White for sure.. Danger Danger debut just to name a few.
Love this channel great job discovered some bands I did not know favorite album Europe out of f this world
@@salamwati9281 Danger Danger with the horribly underrated guitarist (Andy Timmons) and the Canadian lead singer (Paul Laine who my good friend is a writing partner with now). They have some good songs. Firehouse with my fav 'Don't Treat Me Bad'! Love that song.
Never ever liked Great White. Hated the singer for whatever reason? Once Bitten Twice Shy was a pretty big hit for them.
Why isn’t there a dokken album on the list? Tooth and Nail is superb
c'mon man, where's the bang tango or faster pussycat? jk. good list, i agree pretty much with the rankings, although the top 3 albums, personally, i didn't like. i did listen the shit out of detonator, lol.
Love those smaller bands but it’s just that, they were the 2nd and 3rd tier bands and hard to bump one of the major bands for the smaller ones who had less impact.
I have often heard Marc Bolin was the Father of Glam. Has anyone else heard that ?
Never heard that. But he was also part of Glam Rock and that’s a different genre from Glam Metal. The Godfather of Glam Rock would be David Bowie in my opinion. The Godfather of Glam Metal would be Van Halen.
@@BrendonSnyder Works for me. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust is my favorite Bowie album.
I respect your opinion but Dr Feelgood at number 1, really bro? Shout At The Devil is where it’s at
I guess we have different opinions then.
SHOUT is a dangerous killer album, but FEELGOOD is sexy and sleazy, so probably makes for a better GLAM ALBUM. Most agree that SHOUT is where it's at for MOTLEY .
@@mickfrendo8212 There best album bro.
None of it , girls it is . Ha ha ha
Shout more metal than the 80s Sunset Strip rock… that said, Theatre of Pain is more the genre of topic than Feelgood.
A genre that never really took off outside the US which probably explains why no British bands make the list (I wouldnt call Def Leppard a glam metal band). Enjoy your vids Brendon!
Glam Metal was a completely American thing just like the NWOBHM was a British thing that didn’t happen in the States. But Glam Metal was very big outside the US with lots of these bands doing huge world tours. And yes as I mentioned in the video Def Leppard started out as a NWOBHM band but morphed into a Glam Metal band. IMO, that’s what they became and have remained ever since. Everything about them form the sound, look, song style, lyrics, etc. scream Glam Metal.
@@BrendonSnyder I'd consider Hysteria, Adrenalize and maybe Euphoria glam metal, not really any of the other albums though.
" Looking to make the Rock Version of Thriller." - Mutt Lange. That says ot All. It was Pop Music dressed up as " Metal".
No one is denying that. But it’s frickin’ great!
@@BrendonSnyder " Thriller" set the Bar pretty high. Gotta Love they're Ambition & some of those Albums Sold Tons....
Motley Crue - shout at the devil
Dokken - Back for the attack
Ratt - into the cellar
Europe - the final countdown
Skid row
Britny Foxx - BOYS în Heat
Warrant - dirty filfthy
Whitesnake 1987
Bon jovi - new Jersey
Van Halen
In Holland most of these bands didn't get any airplay
Jani Lane had stated he loathed Cherry Pie. He said it was the record company's idea to write a hit song
I know he said that but still he wrote it, recorded it, named the album it, filmed a video, had cherry pie eating contests and married the girl from the video. If he really hated it as much as he says he did, I don’t see why he went along with all of that. I tend to think that he hated how it pigeon holed him and it became a joke during the rise of Grunge which made him blame the record label for asking him to write it. But he still did it himself. Too bad he felt that way because I know a lot of people who love that song and album. I think if Jani were alive today he’d feel differently about it. It would be his bread and butter.
@@BrendonSnyder yeah true - also he had developed a bad drinking habit as well. I think he wanted the album to be more of a concept album if I remember correctly but the record company said no
New jersey by Bon Jovi should be number 1 in my opinion also 5150 by van Halen is top ten easy
Since Van Halen started in 1978 before Glam Metal existed, even though Van Halen should be credited with creating it, I don’t count Van Halen as Glam Metal so I didn’t include them. As for Bon Jovi, great band, I just don’t have a fave album that I go back to like I do the ones in my list otherwise I would have included them too.
I hate to be that guy but…. Dr. Feelgood isn’t even the Crue’s best album I would take Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil over it. While Kickstart My Heart and Don’t Go Away Mad are two of my favorites from them I think overall track for track it doesn’t stack up. 1. Slice of Your Pie 2. Rattlesnake Shake 3. Sticky Sweet 4. She Goes Down are just terrible and at best are fillers. Which song would you replace from Shout with any of those songs?
Everyone
Realistically Theatre Of Pain was REALLY their glam album
No Van Halen? I'd go with 1984 as the top of their glamdom. All the rest of these LA bands on this list were imitating them.
Mmsg ,skid rod,twiested sister etc etc 😏
Hi, how much did you music library cost?
No idea. I’ve been collecting for 34 years.
Oh man I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the RATT album! Out of the Cellar is the all time best RATT album in my opinion.
I feel Out Of The Cellar is under developed. I like the hits off it but the rest of the album falls flat for me. The first real Ratt album that has a consistent sound and is firing on all cylinders is Invasion Of Your Privacy IMO.
I agree with you! God bless all the ratt n rollers! Jesus saves sinners!
I personally would not consider Def Leppard or Skid Row 'glam' per se, they may have had albums or a look/style inspired by the genre, like many other artists of the time though but so did GNR, so I would just call it Top 10 Albums from the Glam Metal Era.
Whatever makes it easier for you to swallow.
Hanoi Rocks Two Steps from the Move. They invented Glam Rock....not sure anything in the list should be considered Metal in today's terms.
No LA Guns ? No Faster Pussycat ? No Hanoi Rocks? No Badlands? No Bon Jovi? No Dokken?
Good, you watched the whole video to figure that out! 😂 JK…I love those bands too but not as much as the ones in my list. It’s hard to narrow down to just 10 albums.
Badlands Voodoo Highway is a masterpiece , not glam , just filthy hard rock . Those vocals .. and Jake .
Faster Pussycat!!!
Love those early albums…all three!!
@@BrendonSnyder Same here just a very fun band...
No offense but you consider Skid Row glam and not Guns n Roses? There style is the same. Where is Stryper To Hell with The Devil? 😮
Stryper is Heavy Metal and not Glam Metal.
Tengo 6 de 10
Cool 👍
Hard to define exactly what’s glam and what’s not. “Shout” is motley’s masterpiece, but I’ve never considered it “glam”. It’s just metal. Same with “Slave to the Grind”. Not a glam album.
Shout is a good album but far from their “masterpiece” IMO. But then I came into the band with Dr. Feelgood so I’m going to be bias towards that album because it introduced me to the band.
@@BrendonSnyder feelgood is a great record, for sure. The debut is also a masterpiece, “Theater” is mostly great, and the Corabi album slays!! “Girls” is watered down by a lot of filler, however.
I was thinking the same. Shout and Feel Good I wouldn’t consider glam. Theatre Of Pain was the only one they had. IMO
No LA Guns?!?
Nope! But I love the band and their 2nd album Cocked & Loaded.
glam metal never aged well IMHO...where are they now... short lived bands
If you didn’t like it that’s fine, and then I wouldn’t expect you to pay attention to these bands today. But as far as “where are they now”….😂😂😂….Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Poison did a stadium tour last year that was the highest grossing concert tour for the year. I think most are doing ok…🤦♂️
Glam has held up way better... and lasted far longer... than Grunge, which was really just a flash in the pan.....and where are those grunge guys now....mostly dead.
Glam is aqua net
While I get the reference, that makes no sense.
Hair spray, make up , frilly clothes,,,, hence the word Glam,,,, tigertailz, Vinnie Vincent invasion, nitro, D. Molls, poison, in my opinion!, 🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟
So Glam didn't actually...last that long??
I still listen to long cold winter from Cinderella. It's one of my favorite albums.
A fave of mine too!
