The 11 Best Songs By Sebastian Bach

That’s right, this is a list about Sebastian Bach, former lead singer of the seminal 80s glam metal band, Skid Row.  Why would I do a list about Sebastian Bach?  A man who seemingly puts his music IQ on par with the best of the best Rock N Roll Jeopardy champions.  Because Sebastian Bach kicks ass.  Bach has one of the most unique rock voices of all time.  It’s loud, timid, angry, emotional, bellowing, caustic, and ethereal all at the same time.  It has the power to get you up in the morning and make you pancakes.  It has the power to make any woman fall in love with you in just three notes.  Bach’s voice is so powerful that it once traveled back in time and helped end World War II.   If angels sang bad ass rock music, they’d sound like Bach.  Though glam metal has all but fizzled away outside of the occasional Darkness release, Bach’s current music is still solidly on par with the strongest of the 80s releases.  Twenty five years down the road, Bach still knows how to make an album and the guy deserves credit for proving that only the strong survive.

The 11 Best Hair Metal Albums You’ve Forgotten

There was a time when people scoffed at Hair Metal. But now with bands like Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Daughtry being the popular rock bands of the day…I think everyone wishes for a return to that craziness that was the 80s. Everyone thinks Adam Lambert is ground-breaking for his androgynous style. Seriously? Have you seen a Poison video? Kings of Leon are “cutting edge” because they have a song called “Sex On Fire.” What about Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” Faster Pussycat’s “Bathroom Wall,” Winger’s “Seventeen?” I mean seriously…they may not have been the best bands to ever rock our worlds…but they at least knew how to rock.

Steel Panther (the world’s greatest metal cover band) releases their first album of all new material this week, called Feel The Steel. And even as tongue-in-cheek as their material is…it’s still far more rocking that anything else that’s out there. Before you run out and buy the album (which you should absolutely do)…here’s a look back at some of the great hidden gems of the glam metal years. Everyone knows about the Hysterias…the Slippery When Wets…the Dr. Feelgoods…but what else was there when you peeled back the top layer?
