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 $5.99! new only from $10.41!
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 $8.57! new only from $16.45!
3	Skid Row (1989) more music like this by Skid Row add to wishlist The material on Skid Row is mostly typical pop-metal fluff, but since Skid Row was one of the hardest bands to find commercial success during the hair metal fad, the songs sound angrier and more aggressive than the lyrics and hooks might indicate. Part of this is due simply to the musical talent in the band, and part of it is due to vocalist ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!
4	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 $11.54!
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	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!
7	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 $4.22!
8	Permanent Vacation (1987) more music like this by Aerosmith add to wishlist The much-ballyhooed reunion of the original Aerosmith lineup had pretty much fallen flat on its face after 1985's hit-and-miss Done With Mirrors. Realizing that the band simply couldn't do it alone, A&R guru John Kalodner capitalized on the runaway success of Run-D.M.C.'s cover of "Walk This Way" and decided to draft in the day's top hired hands, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.62!
9	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 $2.49! new only from $4.72!
10	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!
11	Eat 'Em and Smile (1986) more music like this by David Lee Roth add to wishlist Few would argue that David Lee Roth's first solo EP was a complete comedy send-up, albeit a very successful one that gained him enough favor with the MTV peanut gallery to solidify his potential as a solo artist. When threat became fact, however, Roth was smart enough to know that show tunes set to flashy videos weren't going to cut it and wisely ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.76!
12	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 $12.86!
13	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 $8.95!
14	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 $6.14!
15	Psychotic Supper (1991) more music like this by Tesla add to wishlist Psychotic Supper benefits from a more stripped-down production than The Great Radio Controversy, using fewer overdubs and thereby enhancing Tesla's bluesy, acoustic-tinged rock & roll. Going over the top was never what Tesla did best, and Psychotic Supper shows enough variation and occasional understatement to retain the listener's interest. Many ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.03!
16	Winger (1988) more music like this by Winger add to wishlist Since Winger was marketed largely on the looks of lead singer Kip Winger, and since their sleazy rockers and lovelorn ballads cover the same old pop-metal territory, the band's high-quality musicianship tended to get overlooked. Guitarist Reb Beach earned wide praise from other musicians, and he, ex-Dixie Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.88!
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 $3.63! new only from $5.97!
18	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 $9.96! new only from $9.96!
19	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 $8.37! new only from $11.78!
20	Jackyl (1992) more music like this by Jackyl add to wishlist Forever confined to infamy as the authors of the one and only "Lumberjack" song, Jackyl nonetheless did have more to offer than that one chain saw-wielding song and its sightly video. In fact, their self-titled debut album has a good share of above-average early-'90s hair metal, making it one of the few albums of its era (and, yes, there were many ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.54!
21	Rock Star (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The movie Rock Star is based on the Cinderella (not the band) story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the lead singer of a Judas Priest cover band who actually joined Priest when the storied Rob Halford exited. This scenario is reenacted through two fictional bands: Blood Pollution, the proletariat tribute band, and Steel Dragon, the professional stadium ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $11.06!
22	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 $1.99! new only from $11.93!
23	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 $7.96! new only from $7.96!
24	School of Rock (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Richard Linklater's Jack Black-starring film School of Rock more or less lives up to its name, collecting textbook examples of what it means to rock out from some of the bands who wrote that book. The Who's "Substitute," the Doors' "Touch Me," Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" form a pretty ... see all copies from $6.53! new only from $6.53!
25	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 $5.86! new only from $9.44!
