It was an age of unbridled hedonism and hair spray, where spandex was the uniform and power ballads ruled the airwaves. Glam is one of the most polarizing genres of metal, but for one decade on the Sunset Strip, it was a scene as dominant as any in rock history.<\/p>\n
The general consensus amongst metalheads is that most ’80s glam metal didn’t stand the test of time. It was too corny to survive, with way too many bands making the same stuff over and over. That may be the truth, but these 10 albums were more than just part of a trend. They’re genuinely great.<\/p>\n
Let’s make one thing clear \u2014 Cinderella<\/a><\/strong> was a fucking great band. They had the cheesy glam metal name and look, but the band’s songwriting was just so damn tasteful. Cinderella<\/a><\/strong>‘s debut album is filled with rock n’ roll grooves, some southern vibes, great guitar work, Sunset Strip swagger and killer vocals from Tom Keifer<\/strong>. This band had just as much in common with Aerosmith<\/strong> as they did with typical L.A. hair metal.<\/p>\n \n
