10) Kiss - Music From "The Elder": There comes a time in every young man's life where he must confront the fact that some bands aren't meant to evolve, because when they do, they're worse. New drummer Eric Carr showed up just in time to be part of the worst album in the KISS catalog. It's a concept album, based on an idea from the man who would put his name on anything if it generated a buck, Gene Simmons. Before Loutallica, Lou Reed co-wrote three of the songs here. I guess, even crappiness takes practice!
Purchase instead: Kiss, Hotter Than Hell, Dressed to Kill, Alive!, Alive II, and a KISS pinball machine and/or coffin.
9) Def Leppard - Slang: The 1980s were over. Just as big hair looked kinda dumb and dated while everyone was flyin' the flannel, so, too, did big super-precise productions sound ill-fitted for the new decade when everyone whined. So, after Adrenalize sounded tired, Def Leppard went back to basics. Even drummer Rick Allen used an acoustic kit. But no one buys Def Leppard albums for their natural tone. Metal dudes buy them because their girlfriends like them. And their girlfriends miss the grand productions like they secretly miss their big hair! Be who you are!
Purchase instead: High ‘n' Dry and a case of Aqua-Net hairspray.

What’s the worst Ed Wood film, Kenny G. Album, Thomas Kinkade painting or Danielle Steele novel? To find out and decide, you’d have to experience the sludge of it all. No thanks!
I’m driving to Chicago to see Priest in November. It’s their last world tour. I saw Motorhead in KC earlier this year Great show!
Chuck Norris used to play guitar. Chuck Norris met Alex Skolnick. Chuck Norris no longer plays guitar.
Do you know of Criss Oliva?
Criss Oliva. Savatage. They have some great stuff.
Nope. Oh, wow... Another EPIC tune! My discography was incomplete. I didn't even know that album existed. I own it now. THANK YOU! I didn't have A Matter of Life and Death either. For one of my favorite bands, I sure don't keep up with them very well...
