Non traditional favorites?

Post by VincentVanWinger »

What are some instances where your favorite song/album/member is non traditional. Like is your favorite Crue song Glitter? Is your favorite member of Poison Bobby Dall? Is your favorite Lep album Sparkle Lounge?

Mine.

My favorite Def Leppard song is I Am Your Child which was a Japanese bonus track for Euphoria.

My favorite Bon Jovi song is Make A Memory.

My favorite Ratt song is Giving Yourself Away. I wasn't into Ratt back in the day so maybe this isn't a weird choice, 🤔 I don't know???

My favorite Poison song is So Tell Me Why.

My favorite era of Def Leppard is Slang. I prefer the darker, grittier Lep. I strongly prefer Joe's lower register to the shouty anthemic singing from Pyromania, etc.


So what are your favorites that are not common/typical?

Theatre of Pain, Turbo and Dream Evil were popular when they came out but by now it is non-traditional to have them among your favorites. All top 3 albums by the respective band.

That is a great list of tunes. If there was an album of awesome 80's album cuts, these would be on it. No Surprise is a top 5 Ratt tune for me.

My odd choices would be

BOC - Revolution By Night
Billy Squier - Enough is Enough
Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
Thunder - Wonder Days
Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid
Y&T - Contagious
Collective Soul - See What you Started

My favorite King's X song is usually "Pretend" from Dogman. It wasn't released as a single.

Forgot BOC - Club Ninja. Kidding, Imaginos!
Even if Club Ninja isn't as abhorrent as its reputation.
It's far from say VH3 bad.
