Motley Crue (the kings of hair metal) is more metal, and have written better songs than most of the shit people talk about around here.
Don't you find it so.. disturbingly cheesy? I mean power metal is cheesy yes, but there's a certain compartment in your brain, sitting in which you can still somewhat enjoy that, but that material (that album in particular) is nothing but so cheesy pop/glam rock, its.. repelling.Slippery When Wet is one of my favourite albums! And its by Bon Jovi the band, not the man himself.
I think its the cheesiness that makes me love it so much. I just like the happy, party, sounding music. Makes me happy.
