This is a list of some of my albums of all-time. Most are in the hard rock vein but I tried to throw in a variety of albums. Hard rock, classic rock, and metal are my favorite genres but I enjoy a variety of music.

The advent of grunge on the commercial charts and the constant slams on the cartoon Beavis and Butthead, threw Kip Winger and the boys off the charts. This was actually a tragedy because Winger were/are one of the more talented bands out of the 80's scenes. Everyone in the band is a solid player. Their third album is a much heavier, serious album which many of you have probably never heard.

In the mid 2000's, Winger reunited. Karma, their second reunion album was a pleasant surprise being one of the better reunion albums I have heard in recent years especially from the 80's era bands.

AV = the site mean average rating.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 83.9/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.1.

A bit too much hair metal for my taste. But I do dig Phenomenon, Sabotage, and Lovedrive.

Great chart you have here man. I love all the heavy metal stuff on here but also glad to see a softer side with bands like Fleetwood Mac.

Definitely one of the best charts I've seen on the site. A great mix of glam/hair metal, hard rock, and heavy metal. And for the record even though another user already said it, but hair/glam metal is fantastic. It shouldn'y matter how the guys look, what truely does matter is the fact that they're playing great music.

I love hair bands. People can say what they want but it was good fun time rock n roll and I also love hard rock and metal. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, hard rock and metal has withstood the test of time better than a lot of other forms of rock that disappear quickly.

Thanks for the comments it is appreciated. I personally like shock rock music stuff like W.A.S.P., Motley Crue, etc. It is all subjective. For instance one of the people said they liked Iron Maiden, while a lot of Maiden stuff is cheesy as well but it still rocks and you can even argue Sabbath to a degree has a cheese element, but it is all good, fun stuff.

I have to say that I really appreciate Sabotage, Piece of Mind, and Operation Mindcrime on your chart. However, most everything else is cheesy shock-rock garbage. Sorry, but it's true.
