Morning, Ron. Sounds good. The majority of the good stuff is in the middle of the disc.

Pantera was a necessary kick in the stomach for metal. But they didn't get airplay unless your local radio station played metal, and those are VERY few and far inbetween. I know WYSP in Philadelphia had a Metal show from like, 11pm-2am. Doubt they still have it though, since they changed formats and went back to playing hard rock from the 70's and 80's.

I pretty much agree with you Ron. British Steel, Iron Maiden's debut, Heaven and Hell...So many great Hard Rock and Metal CD's came out that year!
Ron, if you like Alice In Chains, I highly recommend Soundgarden. Chris Cornell's voice is powerful and they have some good music.

I thought GnR's Appetite for Destruction was one of the greatest debut albums of all times, I was so ready for it (I know, not quite 90's yet), but it led me to believe more great music was on it's way...and Skid Row kicked ass and Dangerous Toys was in my disc changer as well (didn't they credit Alice Cooper as an influence??)...
...For the most part I thought the 90's in general was pretty lame for the Metal scene, as I have a great distaste for 'Cookie Monster' Metal, Death Metal and the like...
I did become a fan of Alice In Chains, for me the best part of the 90's (save your mentions of 90-91)...a decade of breakups and death...
For me, the greatest year of all time (music wise) was 1980!!! |

Actually, I sorta enjoyed some of the music of the glam scene. Poison, Cinderella and Ratt to name a few. Just because a band is a glam rock/metal band, doesn't mean they're inferior to other bands. I think that's silly.

I credit Kiss' '96 Unplugged set and the subsequent reunion tour for taking the tattered banner of Hard Rock and Metal, kicking the shit out of grunge, and paving the way for Hard Rock and Metal to become somewhat more popular again. No single Hard Rock/Metal act during '96/'97 did more for kicking the door in during that time than the guys in black spandex and kabuki-style make-up until Iron Maiden headlined Rock In Rio III (2001).

This era brought us fast, heavy, solid, balls to the walls music for one more victorious round before the grunge would eventually take over.
