I think you'll find that the vast majority of metalheads appreciate some early Motley Crue as well as many other glam metal bands. Not that it matters which side is bigger, it's irrelevant.

Yeah, Grunge. Still, awesome band, as are Soundgarden.

Check out Louder than Love. Tends to be their most overlooked album, but it's solid throughout.

Was it that I prefer glam rock to glam metal or that I prefer David Bowie to Sabbath and Priest?

Never actually listened to this band before. Just checked them out and they're not bad.

I wouldn't think it would be at least not outside metal circles. David Bowie had a very impressive run from Space Oddity to Lets Dance with mostly masterpieces and great albums and a few average at worst albums. I'd say at their best Bowie and Sabbath are equal but Bowie wins purely on having more great albums to offer and being more diverse even though he might not be as influential in his own genre.

They took me some getting used to probably because they reminded me a lot of the 90s grunge and alt rock I didn't care for but after a while they really grew on me.

Yeah, I've been trying to branch backwards from grunge into 80's alt rock and post hardcore stuff. Tends to be pretty hit or miss whether I like a band or not, but some definitely take a few listens to grow on you.

Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden are infinitely more metal than most of the garbage pop rock bands that you guys have been name dropping for the past few pages. That cant even be argued.

Yes it can, because your claim is nothing but bitchy subjective whingeing. I could claim James Brown is more metal than Death, and guess what? It won't mean anything to anyone but me.

I listen to dozens of hair bands, hundreds of black metal bands, and plenty of Enya. Deal with it.

... yes, because Kiss and Motley Crue sound "sonically" more metal to your ears than those bands, right?

I know, it's the sound that counts.
But still, I know which one I think is more metal.

It has nothing to do with my ears genius, it has to do with their objective musical parallels to metal. Which both Crüe and 80's KISS have in spades, as opposed to the grunge artists you listed who are, guess what? Grunge. The only one you listed that could be construed as metal are AIC.... yes, because Kiss and Motley Crue sound "sonically" more metal to your ears than those bands, right?

i mean, the guy just tried to talk shit to me for saying Soundgarden, AIC and Nirvana are more metal than kiss, motely crue, van halen etc. Lol, he's done.
