I love WASP. They are, always have been and always will be my favourite band.
Blackie has the best voice in metal.

Early WASP yessssssssssss!
These guys rocked much harder than other LA scence bands in the early days, early WASP and Motley Crue were great. I would rate 1st two CDs:
WASP
LAST COMMAND
as essential purchases, they rock the hardest and contain best material in groups history, combine these with Motley's
TOO FAST FOR LOVE
SHOUT AT THE DEVIL
and you get 4 great albums that set the standard for west coast scence.
A notch below in quality for me but still very good are:
ELECTRIC CIRCUS
HEADLESS CHILDREN
Animal (fuck like a beast) is a great single with one of the coolest cover art of any CD.
Fuck Like a Beast?! Pure Cheese. I don't know how someone, can be sitting around the house & thinks "Oh boy I've got to listen to Fuck Like a Beast?!" Sabbath's Iron Man, Zeppelin's Rock 'N Roll, Van Halen's Panama or anything else, but Fuck Like a Beast?!

Yeah but that song rocks! I think people have a hard time getting their head around what WASP are as one minute he writes songs about fucking like a beast and the next some really serious political songs or a concept album.

I usually don't like live recordings, but if you have remastered LAST COMMAND one of the bonus tracks is a ripping live version of "animal" ...............this is no Cheese zone (a stupid meaningless word) this is what cock rock is all about!Originally posted by apex nemesis

Isn't "crimson" the album where Blackie decided he didn't need a band and recorded everything himself?Originally posted by apex nemesis
My fav WASP albums are The Crimson Idol, The Headless Children, The first one(of course!) and KFD. In no particular order really as it depends on my mood. The good thing about WASP is they have a diversity that most other bands don't. If I had to choose one it would probably be The Crimson Idol as i've listened to that a ridiculous amount of times and was very important to me at the time it came out.
