I agree with the point of this thread, but I have to say 80’s metal is the worst music ever made. I’d rather hear Justin Beiber.
There are exceptions, of course. Good is good, no matter what the genre or label. But good is few and far between.
If you mean Bullet Boys and the tail end of the hair metal thing (when they were hiring ANYTHING with long hair and a guitar, I agree. It killed itself and Cobain is innocent.
But The stuff like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, AC DC and a few others were great bands and many still are today.
I like '50's metal:
Space Guitar--Young John Watson (1954)
And '50's rap:
Play it Cool--The Spaniels (1954)
