Weekend Poll: What Was The Best Release Of 1984?
Back when metal was just starting to bubble up.

@bstrange @TheMetalDog How do I even choose??? I spent hours trying to track down a record store that carried Ride The Lightning, and I listened to Stay Hungry on repeat on my Walkman during a 10-hour drive in the car on a family vacation. Still listen to Tooth And Nail, The Warning and Slide It In ALL THE TIME. And I haven't gotten to Powerslave yet.

But I'll vote for Knights Of The New Thunder. It sounds like TNT's later releases, which I also like. More nordic power metal than pop rock.

Metal Expert Says Each Hair Metal Band Had '2 or 3 Good Songs,' Names the Most 'Authentic' Band in the Genre
'You have to judge a band by their greatest hits record.'

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/metal_expert_says_each_hair_metal_band_had_2_or_3_good_songs_names_the_most_authentic_band_in_the_genre.html

@Theblueone @TheMetalDog Dokken's Tooth And Nail rips from start to finish, and I don't think Warrant's Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich has a bad song on it either.

gogmagog,
@gogmagog@dizl.de avatar

@Theblueone @TheMetalDog Personally, I consider the term "hair metal" to mean glam or glam-adjacent bands, which eliminates Dokken and Tesla and GnR, but to most people it means any rock which came out in the '80s that isn't Maiden or Metallica.

gogmagog,
@gogmagog@dizl.de avatar

@TheMetalDog @Theblueone I agree. I'm pretty sure it was an '90s invention, a derogatory phrase meant to belittle any '80s band that had a few hits as not serious or worthy of praise. And for the most part it worked.

@Great_Albums I like a lot of the material on On To Victory, but the mixing is horrendous. I thought maybe it was just the pressing on my vinyl copy, but what is on YouTube that I've heard sounds the same.

On Friday the held the Magic to only 74 points, which was the record for the lowest amount of points scored by a team in the @nba this season. Then yesterday they came out and scored 73 against the Sixers, who scored only 79, thus giving us the lowest-scoring game of the NBA season. Yes, a full-time, professional NBA game in the year of our Lord 2024 finished 79-73.

#GreatAlbum1980s - #GunsNRoses – Appetite for Destruction (1987). I've learned to separate utter contempt for certain artists (Morrissey, David Lee Roth, Axl Rose, etc.) from appreciation of the music they helped make. Appetite didn't reinvent rock, but it dialed back the hairspray long enough to induce a touch of grit and danger. And while I can do without hearing "Sweet Child 'o Mine" ever again, "Night Train," "Paradise City," etc. pack a wallop it would be churlish to deny.

#GreatRockAlbums

@Great_Albums I've long argued that this record, and not Nevermind, is what killed '80s rock/glam/hair metal. After this, bands like Warrant, Skid Row and Tesla turned way heavier. In just two albums, Warrant went from slick sounding songs like "In The Sticks" to "The Hole In My Wall." That made early '90s bands like Trixter and Firehouse sound so weak, and opened up things for the Seattle crew.

@Great_Albums@mstdn.social avatar

- – Powerslave (1984). Few bands sustain energy long enough to make their fifth LP such a tour-de-force. Powerslave is where the prog ambitions Maiden always threatened leap to the fore, esp. on the epic closer "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." There's a touch of extra fury in "The Duellists" and "Back in the Village" as thrash comes sneaking up the back alley. Plus, of course, the double-fisted opener of "Aces High" and "2 Minutes to Midnight."

gogmagog,
@gogmagog@dizl.de avatar

@Great_Albums There's a big part of me that believes "Back In The Village" is the band's best song.
