1	Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist Def Leppard was untouchable in the '80s. Over the course of four albums, the band established itself as one of the best and most popular hard rock/heavy metal groups of the decade, scoring a long list of hit singles. Vault compiles the biggest of those hits, as well as selections from their first album of the '90s, Adrenalize, and the outtakes ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $8.44!
2	Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection (2005) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist The 2005 double-disc set Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection is the second Def Leppard compilation to be released in the U.S. The first, Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits, appeared ten years earlier, and while the band was active in the decade separating the two albums, charting fairly consistently, it didn't have any major hits during that ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $16.45!
3	Skid Row (1990) more music like this by Gary Moore/Brush Shiels/Noel Bridgeman add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.88!
4	Bon Jovi (1984) more music like this by Bon Jovi add to wishlist From the opener, "Runaway," which rode to glory on Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band-mate Roy Bittan's distinctive keyboard riff, to the sweaty arena rock of "Get Ready," which closes the album, Bon Jovi's debut is an often-overlooked minor gem from the heyday of hair metal. The songs may be simple and the writing prone to all the clichés of the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
5	Long Cold Winter (1988) more music like this by Cinderella add to wishlist Long Cold Winter is a transition album for Cinderella, mixing pop-metal tunes with better hooks than those on Night Songs with a newfound penchant for gritty blues-rock à la the Stones or Aerosmith. The ballads -- the grandiose "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" and the excellent, lower-key "Coming Home" -- are what made the album ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.61!
6	Have a Nice Day (2005) more music like this by Bon Jovi add to wishlist Have a Nice Day, Bon Jovi's ninth studio album of original material, picks up where 2002's Bounce left off, showcasing a harder, heavier band than either 2000's Crush or Jon Bon Jovi's 1997 solo effort, Destination Anywhere. Not only that, but this 2005 album finds Jon Bon Jovi picking up on the serious undercurrent of Bounce, writing a series of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.98!
7	New Jersey (1988) more music like this by Bon Jovi add to wishlist Bon Jovi had perfected a formula for hard pop/rock by the time of New Jersey, concentrating on singalong choruses sung over and over again, frequently by a rough, extensively overdubbed chorus, producing an effect not unlike what these songs sounded like in the arenas and stadiums where they were most often heard. The lyrics had that typical pop ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
8	The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock (2006) more music like this by Poison add to wishlist It's hard to believe that through all of the debauchery, inner turmoil, and excess, Poison is still a fully functioning rock entity with all of its original members intact. It's also surprising that when looking back over that time, the group has managed to accumulate an impressive plethora of hits, especially during the peak of their career. This ... see all copies from $6.31! new only from $9.23!
9	Hysteria (1987) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist Where Pyromania had set the standard for polished, catchy pop-metal, Hysteria only upped the ante. Pyromania's slick, layered Mutt Lange production turned into a painstaking obsession with dense sonic detail on Hysteria, with the result that some critics dismissed the record as a stiff, mechanized pop sell-out (perhaps due in part to Rick Allen's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.28!
10	Extreme II: Pornograffitti (1990) more music like this by Extreme add to wishlist Extreme came into its own on the concept album Pornograffitti, with the band's strongest set of songs and an intellectual theme revolving around the struggle for genuine love and romance in a sleazy, decadent society full of greed and corruption. The band shows a strong desire to experiment and push the boundaries of the pop-metal format, adding a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.45!
11	100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong (2004) more music like this by Bon Jovi add to wishlist Bon Jovi's four-CD/one-DVD box set of rarities, 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong, inspires two immediate reactions. The first: How in the world did Bon Jovi have four discs' worth of unreleased material in their vaults? The second: Who on earth would want to hear 50 rarities from Bon Jovi? To anybody who's not a devoted fan, the New Jersey ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $64.18!
12	The Great Radio Controversy (1989) more music like this by Tesla add to wishlist One of the band's best albums, The Great Radio Controversy retains the typical big-sounding production and anthemic hooks of '80s pop-metal, but Tesla adds a grittier, bluesier edge to their music than most of their peers. As on most of their records, Tesla's songwriting is consistently good but never quite great; however, "Love Song," "The Way It ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.01!
13	Out of This World (1988) more music like this by Europe add to wishlist One look at the song titles and you know you're not in for any surprises ("Open Your Heart," "More Than Meets the Eye," "Ready or Not," "Never Say Die"). Still, Europe produces made-to-order lite metal with admirable craftsmanship and occasionally memorable hooks. "Superstitious" even has a disarming gospel quality. This is hard rock with all the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
14	This Left Feels Right (2003) more music like this by Bon Jovi add to wishlist God knows why Bon Jovi felt the need to recut its best songs in an adult alternative style with Patrick Leonard as the producer. In the thorough liner notes -- presented as an interview between Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora -- by the suddenly ubiquitous David Wild, Jon claims that the roots of the album derive from a Japanese show he ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.54!
15	Retro Active (1993) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist Retro Active is a collection of outtakes and leftovers spanning Def Leppard's entire career. Kicking off the disc, "Desert Song" and "Fractured Love" are two of its most distinctive tracks, harkening back to the band's early (pre-success) days with their rough power chords. After paying homage to some of their heroes with a set of covers (Sweet's ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $5.99!
16	Creatures of the Night (1982) more music like this by Kiss add to wishlist By 1982's Creatures of the Night, Kiss had finally ditched their plans of becoming "respectable artists" (starting with 1979's Dynasty) and had come to the realization that they were a loud, no-holds-barred heavy metal band. Easily their best since 1977's Love Gun, Creatures of the Night contains very little filler and sounds as if Kiss had been ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
17	Animal Magnetism (1980) more music like this by Scorpions add to wishlist Although Animal Magnetism contains such classic songs as "The Zoo" and "Make It Real," the album is somewhat disappointing when compared to its predecessor, Lovedrive. The well-written songs on this album end up saving it from total disaster, and it's obvious the band wasn't sure what to exactly put on this record -- many of the songs sound like ... see all copies from $5.39! new only from $5.97!
18	Mechanical Resonance (1986) more music like this by Tesla add to wishlist Sacramento's oddly named Tesla (a moniker inspired by renegade inventor and pioneering electrical engineer Nikola Tesla) took the side door to '80s hard rock success, sneaking up on the charts and into the bedrooms of none-the-wiser glam metal consumers with their rock-solid debut, Mechanical Resonance -- itself titled after one of Nikola's better ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.89!
19	Love Is for Suckers (1987) more music like this by Twisted Sister add to wishlist When Twisted Sister issued their 1985 album, Come Out and Play, the members were convinced they'd created their best work yet. But ultimately, the record was met with a very cool response by their fans -- a major disappointment after the double platinum success of their preceding album, 1984's Stay Hungry. For their next album, Love Is for Suckers ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.83!
20	The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack (2007) more music like this by Sixx: A.M. add to wishlist Now, this is an interesting album! Designed as a companion piece to Mötley Crüe bassist/songwriter Nikki Sixx's autobiography, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack -- based on journals he kept during the peak of his drug abuse in the '80s, now supplemented by commentary by his friends and the man himself -- is a genuinely odd and oddly moving record, a ... see all copies from $8.28! new only from $11.78!
21	Vinnie Vincent Invasion (1986) more music like this by Vinnie Vincent Invasion add to wishlist The debut from ex-Kiss guitar slinger Vinnie Vincent, is, well...hair metal through and through. It's got all the calling cards of a band that spent way too much gig money on Aqua-Net. You get the rockin' riff "I wanna party" tunes, the sleazy song or two ("Shoot You Full of Love"), screams, shreds, and drums galore. The nice thing about this ... see all copies from $6.26! new only from $6.83!
22	Dr. Feelgood (1989) more music like this by Mötley Crüe add to wishlist Mötley Crüe's albums were a lot like episodes of Married with Children -- they may not be great works of art, but they can be darn entertaining. With Bob Rock serving as producer, the L.A. headbangers savored the joys of trashy, unapologetically decadent fun on Dr. Feelgood -- an album that made no pretense at being anything else. While nothing ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.34!
23	L.A. Guns (1988) more music like this by L.A. Guns add to wishlist Even amidst the already seedy underbelly of the late-'80s L.A. glam metal scene, L.A. Guns were the undisputed bottom-feeders. A ragged collection of outcasts from various other bands (guitarist Tracii Guns was the original "guns" in Guns n' Roses, drummer Steven Riley had recently vacated the stool with shock-kings W.A.S.P., and British vocalist ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $4.72!
24	Bad for Good: The Very Best of the Scorpions (2002) more music like this by Scorpions add to wishlist Clocking in at 79 minutes and 55 seconds, the Scorpions have yet another greatest-hits compilation, this 2002 release on Hip-O entitled Bad for Good: The Very Best of the Scorpions. Two brand-new recordings can be found closing out the disc on tracks 17 and 18, produced again by Dieter Dierks, who is represented on 11 of the dozen-and-a-half ... see all copies from $11.92! new only from $11.92!
25	Great Zeppelin: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin (1999) more music like this by Great White add to wishlist see all copies from $16.11! new only from $16.11!
