Battle of the Bands 6

DACrowe · 06-14-2009, 03:23 PM

We're back after Led Zeppelin dominated the competition in the last poll. Let's jump ahead a decade and look at the hairy glam/pop rock of the 1980s. The contenders are:

Bon Jovi

Guns 'N Roses

Def Leppard

Poison

Whitesnake

GnR, but i thin David Coverdale of white snake has a better voice than axl

Addendum · 06-14-2009, 04:30 PM

None of them do anything for me. But to be fair to Whitesnake and Def Leppard, both were formed in the 70s: the former after Deep Purple originally called it quits, and the latter were part of the NWOBHM of the late 70s.

i could not in good conscience vote for any of those bands. they all sort of make me want to vomit a bit.

Really? I admit only two of them I kind of like as guilty pleasures, but they all had a lasting impact on rock music and left a legacy, for better or worse. And I am under the impression they are popular, so we'll see how this thread does with others though.

Eggyman · 06-15-2009, 06:34 AM

Wow, you suck those cheeks in, Mr Jovi.

GnR for me.

Ahura Mazda · 06-15-2009, 07:16 AM

GnR I think made the best music among those choices but they were miles behind their predecessors.

returntovoid · 06-15-2009, 12:50 PM

GnR are not hair metal.

Double Down · 06-15-2009, 01:50 PM

Guns 'N Roses beats the rest of them combined.

Sawyer · 06-15-2009, 02:56 PM

Whitesnake.

well, i cant deny their popularity, which has naturally allowed them to be part of rock and roll history...but regardless, none of them did anything i can enjoy. but then again, theres not much popular rock and roll that came after 1975 that i enjoy.

I must vote for Bon Jovi, because they survived the 80's with dignity.

GnR

Bon Jovi

Karem-Knight · 06-16-2009, 05:37 PM

As much as I love GnR (And I really, really, really, do) Bon Jovi for me. Their songs just got me through some rough times and plus I really do feel they are a bit underrated since people only concentrate on their 80's stuff.
