This could be a long list for some people...
Guaranteed multiple paragraphs from Tommy2Tone84 about Motley Crue...And then going on about the Scorpions and how they should have been more popular instead...

All three of the following release nothing but crap now, but were awesome back in the day.
Motley Crue
Def Leppard
Bon Jovi

Probably should have clarified and meant more their material in their 80s. You know, you loved Girls Girls Girls at the time, but now you can't stand it.

Nothing against the bands but to listen to them today is the same as being asked do you want to go to your HS reunion?

Motley Crue. They were by far my favorite band in high school, seeing them four times on their Feelgood tour. I never choose to listen to them now, ever, and often avoid listening to them by changing the channel when a song of theirs comes on. I don't do that for any other band I liked in the 80s.

I liked Poison in 89-90. Then I started getting into heavier stuff.

I also liked Helloween for a short while when they were new and I still think they kicked ass live at Donington 88. I bought a couple of their albums but a few years later I couldn't listen to them indeed and still don't like them.
I also like Scorpions a lot less than I did back then. They used to be one of my favorite bands and I can't understand that when I listen now, even if I don't hate them either.

You normally are for a lot of things.

Nearly all of them. Still good with Pearcy/DiMartini and Def Leppard. Whitesnake ‘87 is still a killer album.
Otherwise . . . .

Not on this, I’m not.
Scorpions > Motley Crue and most of the competition.

Agree. Even some of the Uli stuff is better.

Warrant, Motley, Guns, Slaughter, Great White. They’ve all rode the wave about as far as it could go.
