My top three (at the moment):

1) L.A. Guns - "The Ballad of Jayne"
2) Def Leppard - "Love Bites"
3) Scorpions - "Still Loving You"

The board needs this kind of stuff.

I'll take Def Leppard's "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" and Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" over anything you've got there, sir.

Good call on the Vandenburg. That definitely would out-obscure most.


I'll just throw out the first one that comes to mind now:


Skid Row - I Remember You

Well it can be Motorhead-type happy.

But I'm not sure that's a safe kind of happy.

Nice. And one of the few bands listed so far that I would even count as metal.

I don't ever remember the term "hair metal" being used in conjunction with bands like Poison back in the day. Stuff like that was so far from metal that it's inconceivable how the two could come together now. They were just hair-rock to everyone I knew, if they used that term at all - usually it was just glam-rock for Poisons, Britny Fox, Cinderella, etc. This "metal" thing seems to have popped up lately via VH1's damned list shows, for all I can tell.

And, come the fuck on, no one has mentioned Tesla yet? Changes, The Way It Is, Love Song? Besides those, their first album, Mechanical Resonance, is still all-killer. One of the few bands from that era besides Van Halen, Scorpions and Def Leppard that I still listen to.

Nothing else is even close. "Still Loving You" (Scorpions) is probably a distant second.

Yeah, you nailed it here.

Pretty Boy Floyd's "I Wanna Be With You" is a pretty good one too.

Man gets sick benefits for heavy metal addiction

source: http://www.thelocal.se/7650/

A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits.

Roger Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just started working part time as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work.

"I have been trying for ten years to get this classified as a handicap," Tullgren told The Local.

"I spoke to three psychologists and they finally agreed that I needed this to avoid being discriminated against."

Roger Tullgren first developed an interest in heavy metal when his older brother came home with a Black Sabbath album in 1971.

Since then little else has mattered for the 42-year-old, who has long black hair, a collection of tattoos and wears skull and crossbones jewelry.

The ageing rocker claims to have attended almost three hundred shows last year, often skipping work in the process.

Eventually his last employer tired of his absences and Tullgren was left jobless and reliant on welfare handouts.

But his sessions with the occupational psychologists led to a solution of sorts: Tullgren signed a piece of paper on which his heavy metal lifestyle was classified as a disability, an assessment that entitles him to a wage supplement from the job centre.

"I signed a form saying: 'Roger feels compelled to show his heavy metal style. This puts him in a difficult situation on the labour market. Therefore he needs extra financial help'. So now I can turn up at a job interview dressed in my normal clothes and just hand the interviewers this piece of paper," he said.

The manager at his new workplace allows him to go to concerts as long as he makes up for lost time at a later point. He is also allowed to dress as he likes and listen to heavy metal while washing up.

"But not too loud when there are guests," he said.

The Local spoke to an occupational psychologist in Stockolm, who admitted to being baffled by the decision.

"I think it's extremely strange. Unless there is an underlying diagnosis it is absolutely unbelievable that the job centre would pay pay out.

"If somebody has a gambling addiction, we don't send them down to the racetrack. We try to cure the addiction, not encourage it," he said.

Henrietta Stein, deputy employment director for the Skåne region, is also puzzled by the move; "an interest in music" is not usually sufficient to qualify for wage benefits.

"Certain cases are confidential but in general there is always a medical reason that is well-documented," she said.

Tullgren currently plays bass and guitar in two rock bands and says that he tends to get a lot of positive reactions for daring to be himself.

"Some might say that I should grow up and learn to listen to other types of music but I can't. Heavy metal is my lifestyle," he said.
