my high school choir teacher (amazing teacher, still keep in touch w/ her) had this weird habit of making us do the non-iconic versions of songs, usually cos she often would play the recording for us before we learned it and sometimes the only tape she had was a cover version.
Freshman boys were doing "Duke of Earl" and instead of Gene Chandler, she had the New Edition version on tape, so she made our accompanist (a very pretentious, nerdy, straight-laced classically trained dude who scoffed at such music) learn all the cheesy synth parts and play it on the KORG>

Revolver mag did a list of the 10 Heaviest Glam Tracks:http://www.revolvermag.com/music/10-heaviest-hair-metal-songs-all-time
Sorry but I think a bunch of things I linked to above are way heavier than this list.

i am amused that Poison made the listi mean it’s a cool track but “heavy”? lolsurprised Twisted Sister aren’t on this list also “feh” at Ratt but that’s just bc of my personal hatred of them

I've never stopped listening to Mechanical Resonance for the last 36 years. The albums that followed have some highlights, but damn that debut is nearly perfect.

Fucking hair metal. My local “classic rock” radio station used to like 15-20 years ago be all strictly late 60s early 70s classic rock like Zep, Yes, CCR, and Hendrix, and well now I guess they gotta change with their older audience and now they play fuckin’ “Dr. Feelgood” and “Nothing but a Good Time” and “Break the Law” and “Girls Girls Girls” every goddamn day. Motley Crue is considered classic rock now!

i have been watching a lot of Vevo’s “Hair and Heavy” and nothing makes me reach for the remote faster than Dangerous Toys. Truly dire Axl-mimicryFirehouse are super boring and i think their Dad must own Vevo bc they have more videos on here than any band except maybe Kiss lol So far not even one Kix video. I am furious.

Dangerous Toys was baffling given Jason McMaster's pedigree. I can't think of too many better examples of a guy jumping on a trend, forfeiting all of their cred in the process, a thing we used to call a "sellout" move. At least when Celtic Frost went glam, the results were listenable in a surreal outsider art kinda way

Firehouse are super boring
it's insane how ubiquitous they were for a few months on chicago's 103.5 THE BLAZE, and they were so boring. they made Slaughter sound like Motorhead, Steelheart's "I'll Never Let You Go" sounded like "Stairway to Heaven" next to "Love of a Lifetime", etc

yeah they have like, five or six videos on vevo and i’m like, why were they ever pushing these guys, they blow! they’re normcore looking dudes, not even a hot lead singer! their styling is just jeans and vests, like a bar band.he can sing ok but no better or worse than anyone else who “Can Sing”? i find them baffling

i think they were probably filling an empty space between big glam metal releases in 1990 perfectly somehow, like a movie getting released on an otherwise vacant weekend in a dead part of the year. plus they were jacking the style from others, for example they frequently sounded like Motley Crue at their most tepid -- love of a lifetime is sort of a home sweet home ripoff. i cannot believe that shit went double platinum tbh, i mean i don't like the Crue either but at least they had energy and momentum.
