But I might not be that optimistic about the future development, and I doubt, it'll go that way unless some strong forces work for it. |

Probably the last left wing government in the UK was under Wilson and Callahan in the 70's. After that it's been right wing/centre politics all the way, and the next (inevitable) Labour government will be centre based under Sir Keir Starmer.

But I'm not sure how much true left-wing there was in the Labour government, even I can tell that the Danish Socialdemokratic government got some more left-oriented in the '70s when the true left-wing got stronger after the '60s counterculture.

what's so funny about glam metal in your opinion?

Yeah, it's a pretty creative one, even I might find it more vulgar than funny.

I don't think, it was accidental that the punk rebellion came close after the '60s counterculture, even the early '80s had their squatter movement where, I think, Punk was quite popular too. |

Some very interesting stuff in there and I can relate. However I never felt the same about the so called 'New Wave' scene. The original punk bands were the best. The Damned, The Stranglers (although barely a punk band) The Clash, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Pistols and maybe The Jam. They had the energy and I liked it. Never loved it though and as you say it had nowhere to go. I didn't listen to much prog other than ELP at the time. Genesis sounded bland while Floyd were boring and Yes were just strange. I didn't find a whole lot to sink my teeth into at the time. I think by the 80's I was independent enough just to listen to whatever I fancied and gravitated to Kate Bush, Mike Oldfield Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Al Stewart and actually liked a lot of 'New Age'. The rock scene mostly passed me by. I liked Iron Maiden and could see a point to them but not a lot else around tickled my fancy. U2 were just horrid to my ears and I couldn't stand the plastic production of so much music that was being pumped out. Roll on the 90's!

First of all glam metal wasn't really metal at all but rather a heavier version of 70s glam rock therefore it's pretty much now accepted as a form of hard rock. I agree with Poison and Nelson as some of the worst the era had to offer but Winger had musical creds and Great White had a few catchy tunes albeit too much in the Led Zep worship camp. Slaughter was simply generic but listenable. Stryper had a gimmick and a cool fashion statement but was kind of cheesy too. Bands that really DID suck for the most part IMHO from the glam metal years are: Cats In Boots Enuff Z-Nuff Faster Pussycat Warrant Dirty Looks Bands that i love that are included in the glam metal camp are: W.A.S.P. Dokken Twisted Sister Ratt Cinderella Def Leppard Motley Crue McAuley Shenker Group EZO Extreme Skid Row Guns N Roses There were also many bands that had a great song or two but rather dull generic albums: Britny Fox Kix Helix KISS Lita Ford Autograph Quiet Riot Vandenberg Winger White Lion Hurricane Dangerous Toys As far as appearances, they all looked ridiculous. I hate the glam metal look. I only judge by musical output.

They didn't attract an audience because they used to play something different and went with the grungy alternative sound, which a lot of people found rather ridiculous. Even Kiss did a grunge album, which was initially shelved but in the end released, maybe, maybe it would make some money. For example Winger and Cinderella released really good albums in the 90s ('93-'94), both went unnoticed, they are getting some respect these days. And they were not the only ones.

Twisted Sister would make my list of the five worst Hair Metal bands of all time. They're so bad that they're almost good. ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - December 12 2023 at 10:52 |

I like two of the bands in the video above. It's just someone's opinion.
If I made such a list, it would look different and someone would say some bands in there are not so bad.

^ Maybe you had in mind one of the five Glam Metal bands below who all appear to be having a bad hair metal day.

That was my point exactly! The backlash WAS deserved because those bands looked ridiculous in comparison to the extreme metal upgrade that they didn't even notice. Glam metal bands were puppets of the music industry and were blindsided because they were clueless to the developments around them. They didn't attract new audiences because the rest of the world moved on and they were stuck in 1985!
