3) Van Halen

4) Twisted Sister

Van Halen. They made some really cool songs, especially around the mid-80s. Twisted Sister is second.

EmoJoe · 06-05-2004, 01:59 PM

None of the above

Dean Winchester · 06-05-2004, 02:58 PM

all 4 of those ROCKED in their day, I'll need to think about it. I think probably Van Halen in the Roth days.

On the list, Def Leppard. I've liked them for 20 years.

Off the list, my favorite band is a progressive metal band named Dream Theater. I've been a fan of theirs for 10 years, and they've been around longer than that. For a band who hardly ever gets any radio airplay, they have such a huge fanbase. My brother got me listening to them when I heard him listening to them and asked him, OMG, who is this? I've never done that with any band. Usually it takes me a bit to get used to a band's music. I was instantly hooked. What I like about them is they write great music, they are amazing live, and they are absolutely awesome to their fans.

I saw a couple of their shows back in April and I drove from Fla to Boston because they weren't coming down here. I've never driven that far for any band and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. They're touring again at the end of the summer. I can't wait. If they don't come down here again, it looks like it's on the road again!!

Metallica didn't become mainstream until the early 1990's, I think 80's Fan's list is for the best of the hard rock bands who ruled MTV and the radio this time 20 years ago. Metallica were underground until And Justice For All, and didn't get pop airplay until Enter Sandman, whereas Crue, Lep, Van Halen and Twisted Sister were all huge on MTV in the early/mid 80's. It'd be like limping in Korn with a bunch of grunge-era bands
