Yeah,but those same bands you say are considered "hard rock" are considered 'heavy metal" by the commercial media....they call "Poison" heavy metal on MTV..ect......
is Poison really "heavy metal" to anyone here?I think not.
With that being said....still Whitesnake are nowhere near being "hard rock" at all. Just because a band pumps up volume with a few riffs..ect..does'nt mean they are "hard" ....Whitesnake are "soft".Just an observation.

Actually J.D., even the glam bands are considered Hard Rock. It's about attitude and volume. Yeah, some if not a lot of the stuff is cheesey pop-metal ala Bon Jovi, but it's still Hard Rock when you strip away the hair and makeup and listen to the songs...a lot of which are very good and actually have meaning.

This is in no way,shape of form a "hard rock" album Cobras....it is simply a (in my opinion "overrated") commercial hair band era 80's "rock" album,not "hard rock"....."hard rock" is Motorhead....hard rock would be some of "AC/DC" not all,but some...hard rock would be some of "Saxon" even though they also play traditional heavy metal they still write hard rock songs...
Hard rock is like some of the Scorpions..ect...these are hard rock bands,Whitesnake is no where near "hard rock"....and the era of the album you posted ..they were "glam" at the fullest dude,bunch of pretty boys with hair spray with the most commercial sound there was at that time.
Sorry Cobras,not trying to make you angry here but Whitesnake is no where even near "hard" to be "hard rock" and thats what you put in the topic is "YOUR CLASSIC HARD ROCK ALBUM OF THE DAY".

Well...classic rock and hard rock deserve attention too. So here is the thread. My album of the day is 1987 by Whitesnake. Great sound, great attitude and style. It's a lot like Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction. Along with Appetite For Destruction and Racer X's Street Lethal, it was a big "Fuck You" to the glam movement. Well done boys.

WTF??? Granted, Whitesnake's 1987 self-titled album is a great hard rock album. However, it is in no way, shape or form a "Fuck You" to the glam movement. Hell, I can't even think of an 80's hard rock album that is any sort of a "Fuck You" to the glam movement except for Appetite.

Great album. Great songs from a time when Coverdale only looked like an old lady... As opposed to know when he sounds like one.
