 | Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.97 This album never gets old and will be considered a rock classic as the years go by. I prefer the Illusion albums for the lyrics/songwriting (an unpopular view) but this is 80s hair metal all the way!
|
 | Skid Row by Skid Row
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.22 I heard 'I remember you' on the radio the other day and I remember you... it... the song, doh! Played this to death and it came back from the dead for more of a good shoeing! I dunno what I mean......
|
 | Cherry Pie by Warrant
Buy used from: £5.72 Get past the title track 'Cherry Pie' (no sniggering at the name please) and Ode to Tipper Gore and you've got a great album. I still know all the Uncle Tom's Cabin lyrics off by heart.
|
 | Flesh & Blood by Poison
Buy new: £7.79 / Used from: £0.93 "Cherry coca-cola, Cherry coca-cola". Great melodies and some real rock anthems! I used to dream of having a yellow Harley like Bret has.
|
 | Damn Yankees by Damn Yankees
Buy new: £9.29 / Used from: £1.48 A supergroup taking band members from Styx, Night Ranger and Ted Nugent. I bought this album cos of High Enough with Nugent's incredibly melodic and wailing guitar solo! The whole album is brilliant.
|
 | Psychotic Supper by Tesla
Buy new: £7.68 / Used from: £2.38 I didn't expect to like this band so much back in the day but couldn't stop playing this album. Song & Emotion is about the late Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark. Love the whole CD, give Tesla a go!
|
 | Long Cold Winter by Cinderella
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 Rock is choc-a-blimmin-block full of singers that sound a bit odd and Cinderella are no exception. Great bluesy-rock riffs + scratchy vocals = genius.
|
 | New Jersey by Bon Jovi
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £3.74 The best Bon Jovi album (I'm not so keen on their recent material). I remember the Lay Your Hands video where BJ fired up through a trapdoor in the stage. A must have album! 99 In The Shade is my fave
|
 | Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.92 The second best Bon Jovi album. Social Disease is still one of my faves. Wanted Dead or Alive is still and will always be a classic. Don't know why Bon Jovi don't like the video for it.
|
 | Dr. Feelgood by Mötley Crüe
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.98 Vince Neil's vocals weren't the strongest (I preferred Corabi) but the party theme to this album and with Tommy Lee on drums, you can't go wrong. Many greats on the album including Kickstart My Heart.
|
 | Permanent Vacation by Aerosmith
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.49 A great mix of blues and rock. Back when Aerosmith songs were slightly more raw than recent material. The title track still rocks my socks. Love Steven Tyler's tongue in cheek lyrics too.
|
 | Pump by Aerosmith
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.98 Probably the best Aerosmith album of all-time. Ok, maybe Toys was but this is pretty damn good, yeehaw! "Livin', lovin' gettin' loose, masterbating with a noose!"
|
 | Hysteria by Def Leppard
Buy new: £8.48 / Used from: £3.46 Probably the best, at least the most commercially succcessful of the 80s DefLep albums. Gods of War is my fave but entire CD is awesome.
|
 | Pyromania by Def Leppard
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £4.49 My second fave DefLep album of the 80s.... and I'm not f-f-f-f-f-f-foolin'!
|
 | Slip of the Tongue by Whitesnake
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £1.04 My fave Whitesnake album. Steve Vai at his best. Check out the solo in Fool For Your Loving. Do the white man's overbite to it! Blow the dust off your air guitar.
|
 | 5150 by Van Halen
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £0.99 Dreams is my fave VH song. Loads of great songs on this album!
|
 | For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.25 Ok it's the early 90s but close enough, hehe. My favourite VH album as all the songs are just brilliant. Get the CD on constant repeat and get into it! Not to be missed. I love my baby's poundcake!
|
 | Laughing on Judgement Day by Thunder
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.97 Ok so it's early 90s but it's still in the same vein. Listen to Low Life In High Places now! Danny Bowes sounds like Bad Company/Free singer Paul Rodgers! High praise indeed. OK! UK!
|
 | Extreme II - Pornograffitti by Extreme
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 The best Extreme album, although I like III Sides too. Aww go on, don't be a He-man Woman Hater!
|
 | 1987 by Whitesnake
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £1.79 Considered the best Whitesnake album. It's pretty damn good. I prefer Slip to this but this is still excellent work! A bit heavier than Slip.
|
 | Hollywood Vampires by L.A. Guns
Buy used from: £3.90 The best of LA Guns' albums. Over The Edge is an 80s rock anthem! Still love the CD cover. Hear the original Guns n Roses guitarist in action and with a Brit vocalist, you can't go wrong!
|
 | Lean Into It by Mr. Big
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.90 Ok another very early 90s CD but too good to miss out on. Skip the To Be With You song and check out the bluesy-rock-Aersomith style riffs and crackin' vocals!
|
 | Enuff Z'nuff by Enuff Z'Nuff
Buy used from: £10.48 Probably the ultimate upbeat party rockin' record! Finger On The Trigger and In The Groove are my faves.
|
 | Dancin' on Coals by Bang Tango
Buy used from: £8.99 Possibly doesn't sound good to people with modern ears lol. However, I like it so much I bought the company... CD.
|
 | Ratt & Roll 8191 by Ratt
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £3.91 A must have, if only for Round and round (appears on playstation 2: 80s guitar hero) and Nobody Rides For Free.

Listmania!
