And the Scorps, though that Yes song is very good as well.

Unless you're RJD. He cries for them.

Almost forgot about this one: Diddy (back when he was Puff Daddy) and Jimmy Page sampling "Kashmir" on "Come With Me" from the soundtrack to that late 90's Godzilla movie that bombed terribly:

Not unless he's screaming "Gimme some reggae!"

Yeah, and that's one of the most obvious since Jason's in that band.

Jeff Young tried out for Danger Danger before their first album came out & didn’t get the gig. So he lost out to Tony Bruno Rey? I've always liked his riffs. The S/T and the two Saraya albums have some good stuff on them. And of course Tony left in the middle of recording and got replaced by An...

"Over My Head", even with its repetitive lyrics, is my pick for their best song. The aforementioned "It's Love", "Summerland", and "Black Flag" are probably my next three favorites after that.

Does Snug even post here anymore, out of curiosity? If he did, would we be getting a denial along with his side of the story?

Agreed, but are we sure that’s Dorothea in that third picture and not Fiona Flanagan? ‘Cause it sure looks like Fiona.

I had no idea that Hetfield was a huge fan of their 1st release - can't imagine him listening to "Smooth Up in Ya" without laughing. I'm fairly sure most of these thrash bands at some point or another have finally admitted to liking the hair metal acts of their day to a certain extent. Th...

The verses on KC's "Get It On" are heavily inspired by "Kashmir". That's another great example.

I prefer Aerosupply more than barely, but I do enjoy Air Supply as far as good classic yacht rock goes.

I always think of 1988 as the commercial peak of hair metal. If you want an exact date: September 23, when it was half of the Billboard Top 10. https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/1988-09-23/ That week was also notable for looking ahead to the future with "...And Justice for All&quo...

Love 'em both, but I prefer AIC.

Wow nice list. Just an EPIC year

Agreed. Two others worth mentioning:

House of Lords - s/t
Jetboy - Feel the Shake

Roxx Gang- Things You’ve Never Done Before

Yep. Also: Europe - Out of This World

Oh my, where to begin? 1988 was a classic year for 80's metal/hard rock: Poison - Open Up and Say Ahh... Cinderella - Long Cold Winter Ratt - Reach For the Sky Winger - s/t L.A. Guns - s/t Kix - Blow My Fuse Bon Jovi - New Jersey G'n'R - Lies Bulletboys - s/t Britny Fox - s/t Kingdom Come - s/t Vix...

Time to celebrate a day late! It’s one of the Sludge Holy Trinity, for crying out loud! Somebody should have reminded someone on here!

Another awesome haul, Mattley! I’m especially loving the Ratt, Steelheart, Love/Hate, and Hot in the Shade tees!

I was thinking you might have been at the '87 Ratt/Poison Spectrum show I mentioned. IIRC, didn't ya you were working for one of those two bands at the time?

Right on 2000. Most of my formed school memories happened in the late 80's and 90's.

Ratt and Dave for me, though Queensryche would be a close third behind those two.

"Rhythm of Love" is indeed a good first single. "Passion Rules the Game" and "Every Minute Every Day" are solid as well. It's not the Scorps' best album, but it's still fairly solid.

Not a Sludge band, but still a goddamned new wave rock classic. They were fully into the MTV era with the videos for “You Might Think”, “Magic”, “Drive”, “Hello Again”, etc. And the music is just so perfect and polished. Thoughts on this one, Sludgers?

Just read about Ratt playing the Spectrum on this exact date in '87 with Poison opening. Anyone recall that show?

I figured everyone knew this awesome song. Sorry I will provide a link: https://youtu.be/DP_sL9Hw1Jc?si=Nkqmqypvf5de_xRx Not everyone here recognizes it, but I enjoy it. The whole Fuel For Your Soul album is fairly decent hair metal. No mind-blowingly standout tracks, but "Out in the Cold"...

Yeah, “Ship of Fools” and Waterboys’ “The Whole of the Moon” are great songs…RIP

His wife announced he died in his sleep over the weekend. Had some good songs with The Rasberries and solo. "Make Me Lose Control" always takes me back to the summer before High School. Yeah, "Make Me Lose Control" is a great song. "Hungry Eyes" from the Dirty Dancing ...
