As far as I'm concerned, I am rather tolerant with any kind of music. So, both for me.
By the way, today I listened to a very fine disco/funk band, Ace Of Spectrum, which album 'just like in the movies' was reedited by the eclectic label Wounded Bird records. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Definitely disco for me. I actually like a lot of early disco funk music and disco electronic, and I enjoy a great deal of music with disco qualities. I can't the same for hair metal. |

I wonder if disco ever paid his dues to funk. Anyway, I think I would rather enjoy the early stuff of EWF than their disco period. The "boom-boom-boom-boom" rhythm of disco always annoyed me since the childhood. |

Disco by a mile, although some of it is absolutely terrible, it does what it intends well, and is unabashedly fun. Also, it gave birth to italo disco, and house. The latter of which when crossed with actual funk and progressive electronic gave rise to Detroit Techno. |

It's fun as it is, and it's even more fun if you take into account that the rest of the album is extremely complex avant-prog. Some of the best avant-prog ever made in my opinion. For the topic, disco by far for me. There is some pretty interesting disco stuff that I enjoy. |

My taste has always leaned toward hard rock and hot lead guitar. While most hair bands quickly fell into a rut there were several that I liked and listened to regularly. Some favorites: Whitesnake Skid Row Lynch Mob Damn Yankees Night Ranger I was definitely in the "Disco sucks - support your local rock and roll band" crowd.

I don't consider Whitesnake as hair metal; they get labeled like that for their late 80s look ('87 & '89), they still were a hard rock band and a damn good one. Skid Row were hair metal only with their debut, Slave to the Grind and Subhuman Race are metal albums (and NOT in the glam metal/hair bands way if I may say so), both good, especially Slave to the Grind. Night Ranger are more AOR/melodic rock than hair metal, good band too, especially their 80s albums. |

Originally this category was referred to as hair bands for obvious reasons. The term metal was added at some point in time. I simply consider them and others like them to be hard rock. I draw my line between hard rock and metal at a different place than others do. A lot of bands others consider to be metal, I (in my mind) consider to be hard rock. But this is all a matter of preference and does not effect my vote in the poll. No matter what bands are hair, glam, hard rock or metal I would have voted for them over disco.

I pick hair metal bands over disco any time, too. But beside the ridiculous image, hair metal bands had a certain sleazy sound, macho non-sense (although some musicians looked like ugly girls, just look at Poison ). I cannot put Poison and Whitesnake in the same boat. |

Poison was the first needle in the coffin for the glam metal and any bands like that. So grunge did not kill metal, MTV and the labels of the time did and the mainstream music media as well. Some glam metal I enjoy Motley Crue (only the 80s) Great White (hard rock/blues rock, but they got lumped with everyone else) Cinderella (one of my favorites, again same situation as with Great White) Ratt Dokken Guns n`Roses (only the debut album) Winger Badlands Blue Murder Firehouse (early albums) McAuley Schenker Group Contraband (supergroup with Michael Schenker on guitar) 80s Kiss fits here , too. |
Posted By: Blacksword
Date Posted: February 05 2021 at 04:13
Looking back to the 80's, I had the first 4 Motley Crue albums, most Kiss albums (always been a fan) I had one Ratt album (Invasion of your Privacy) and maybe a few others, but it was my best friend at the time who was really into hair metal. He had loads of albums by artists I never took an interest in, and can't really remember. As a teen I kinda liked the fact that metal was charting, and that people who claimed to hate it before were taking to it. It appeared to start with Bon Jovi and Europe, at least in the UK, I guess. Then Whitesnake went through their hideous transformation, and Coverdale sacked his old blues buddies and enlisted a load of good looking Scandinavian's, 15 years younger than himself to compete with Bon Jovi et al.. The first G'n'R album is a classic. I can still enjoy that now, although everything they produced after that left me very cold. Dokken are an interesting one. I enjoyed them live. I saw them twice, once supporting Accept and once with AC/DC. Good shows. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Bon Jovi is a hit and miss, I enjoy a lot of their songs, dislike some as well. I never saw Europe as glam metal, they had the image in 1986 when they got famous, the big hair (John Norum quit the band soon after The Final Countdown came out and started from scratch so with an excellent album in 1987 called Total Control); their first two albums were heavy metal gems, nothing to do with glam/hair metal. And they had keyboards which did not go well with some people. Totally different band after their reunion in 2003, highly recommended. Whitesnake were lumped with everyone else because they change their image, big hair and so on, but they still played blues-rock/hard rock. Coverdale later on regretted the videos and glam image, no surprise. |

You've mellowed. ---------------------------------- By the way, this decade old poll still seems so fresh to me, but then I guess partially because it has been revived a few times over the years. I still like lots of Electronic Disco, Euro Disco, Disco Funk and Italo Disco. In fact, I like more disco now than when I was posting a decade ago, but then I have discovered more in that time due to research for topics such as this. Wish I could remember what that third video that no longer works was on page one. I think it was Fabio Frizzi related-- maybe Vince Tempera or something.. Good is in the ear of the behearer to such a large extent. but this is a favourite of mine and has been for considerable years now: And I like this: And this is fun, based on Can's I Want More: Since Bon Jovi was mentioned even if not that relevant to this topic, I feel like this "It's My Life" Bon Jovi and Vennu Malesh mash-up rather improves on both originals in an amusing to me way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkZDao1jmjw" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkZDao1jmjw Not that I would expect many Vennu Malesh "fans" (to use the term quite ironically) here. |

Blast from the past poll!! Dang, I already voted in this poll......I'll have to backtrack and see my comments if I left any. I am sure I picked Disco...For me HM was fine when I was a teen, I was at the start of it before being called HM. Saw Motley Crue and Ratt on the Sunset Strip back in late late 70's. I have their first few albums then I lost interest due to all the makeup and fluff. Angel was never called HM but they easily were it! They had some great albums in early carrier, but I also lost interest after the first 3-4 albums. Gregg Giuffria (Angel keyboardist) then put together Giuffria and produced for White Sister, both in mid 80s both pretty good records. Not the cheesy stuff that got played on the FM, they were harder rock but still had flowing locks galore Disco music is so much more intriguing, experimental and simply fun. -------------

Say it rather than spray it all over the screen. I would rather such images not be posted, and I will watch body horror films. It's when it's unexpected. I have literally seen images posted in forums, including this one, that have made me vomit (usually of a scatological nature). Maybe there should be dedicated zones for people at PA into seeing images of vomiting, diarrhoea and gore, or actually I think not. For me it was nice to see Cristi once again reviving this topic, and do appreciate the positive and constructive comments the most in topics (even when not about kinds of "art" that I appreciate). I think it's good to step out of one's comfort zone to try to appreciate more (say with checking out music in this thread if one thinks one dislikes all hair metal and disco, but one doesn't need to and if the aversion is really strong, then I would think one might wish to avoid the topic altogether -- I don't wish to participate in topics about vomiting unless hosted by MDs as that could be useful for my medical condition), but not so much to be confronted by stuff outside of one's comfort zone (such as unexpected images that would generally be considered to be in poor taste). Due to my stomach issues and common nausea, I will be more effected by those kinds of things than others would be, and that is my problem. Maybe a link to the image with a warning for those who want to see it (as long as those links don't violate the forum rules). Actually, I'd rather not because then as a mod I'd be expected to check them, so no to that, to make sure they they don't violate the rules. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who would find such stuff off-putting and would think it doesn't add value to the discussion. |

Neither, but I'll go for disco, because it's less loathsome and actually helped me get laid quite a few times in the late 70's (despite my Disco Sucks T-shirt) But in Disco, there were killer track stuff (Chic for ex), rock groups doing a song or two, and even some fun franco-german electro-disco But the stuff I didn't like back then was the Moroder/Summer , but TBH, nowadays comparing I Feel Love to most of the crap dance stuff, it actually sounds OK. Hair/Glam Metal, OTOH, I always despised it (especially Bon Anchiove and Twisted Sister), despite a few funny fair-sounding songs like Too Drunk To F..., etc). But a lot of these groups were girl magnets. However, I was deep in 70's JR/F and 60's Jazz in those years ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Now you're being really insensitive. PB&J? Some people have peanut allergies as you allude to. ;) You find out through communication -- discussion. If you lacked sufficient reason to think that someone at all likely could be harmed or bothered by that sandwich, then I wouldn't blame you. I have kids in school, and know people who have peanut allergies, so I am always careful in that regard. If having people over to dinner, I ask about their diets first (if I don't know already). Sometimes people are offended or bothered by what one thinks really innocuous (would not have occurred to one, say, that something might be a trigger, it cant always be anticipated no matter how thoughtful one tries to be). Debate and argument is kind of what we do in discussion forums. I know vomit wasn't the topic, which makes it even less constructive. I;m not blaming you, I'm just letting you know that such images bother me and why, and I would rather such things not be posted. I've posted images that others have asked me to remove as it bothered them (I found them funny and reasonably inoffensive, if definitely edgy).* Perhaps I am the only here who is at all bothered by it, which is partially due to my medical condition. I know hyperbole is common (including extreme images and comments), and can be humorous or entertaining. And yes, it's not nearly as bad for me as the scat ones, which is why I didn't hide your post. I find it off-putting and rather distracting, but then people have found my posts off-putting. * Someone once wrote, "I can't get into Tool" to which I responded "You do not get into Tool, Tool gets into you" and posted two on their own innocuous but suggestive images when taken together. I got a complaint and removed it forthwith I'm not even asking you to do that or treat me and others like sensitive snowflakes (to use that right wing terminology). That person wasn't angry, and I listened. It's not that big a deal to me, more of an interesting issue. I have taken this topic far too off-topic. Back to discussing the music and sharing our thoughts on the music. |

I voted Disco, but If I Was Made for Lovin' Hair Metal, then Kiss would get my vote every time, although Gene Simmons looked far more scary without make-up as the villainous Luther in the movie Runaway with Tom Selleck, which wasn't exactly a runaway success at the box office, but it's still my favourite sci-fi movie.  |

I always had a soft spot for this 1976 'classic'  |

mmmmhhh!!!!.... Chic was more of a killer funk band stretching into disco (just EW&F were or K&tG) and were quality musicians for the most part. This (above) was probably filmed in the early 90's and is really funk, much more than disco Pure Disco was the Giorgo Moroder & Donna Summer thing (with it's 2-beat rhythms) and his heavy spacey synths. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
