Albums you never really gave a chance

[AlphaMale]

There's are two that I have got to get my ears on.

Asphalt Ballet - "Pigs" (loved the debut but heard they changed singers and never bothered)

Faster Pussycat - Whipped (their debut is still my favorite but for some reason, this one never got played by me)

At first, it was Def Leppard's 'Slang,' but I've come to really enjoy it.

Good call. Should revisit that one myself.

Lot's of people were put off by the title track I think. But I hear it now and it sounds like a glam 70's track. I agree that Slang is underrated. They shoulda kept their logo for the cover though.

Poison - Native Tongue.

It is better than I gave it credit for at the time.

Asphalt Ballet were, for me, a Britny Fox situation where second singer was better and imo this album is much better than debut. 
 

Wow @ Faster Pussycat. Easily their best album, imo. Love that disc. 
 

I don’t have any contributions to this thread as I try to get my ears on everything I think could be a possibility. If there’s something cool I’ve missed it’s because I don’t know about it or can’t find it.

I guess a lot the mid nineties releases from the classic eighties rock bands never really got a fair chance by me, releases like Slang, Ultraphobic, Fear no Evil and probably others.

Maybe because I was hugely let down by Subhuman Race and Mötley Crüe, I thought that every act was putting out shit like that, so I never bothered.

These days there is so much high quality music to check out, so I might never go back to revisit these records.

Serious answer: most of the Praying Mantis discography.

They've been on a roll since Sanctuary and obviously their 1981 debut is an underground classic but I'm entirely unfamiliar with almost everything in between, specifically their late 90s/early 2000s material. I have a feeling I'd like it, too.

Shit. How I could write an entire article about this.

Wow, you’re doing yourself a massive disservice by lumping Slaughter in with all the 80s artists that sold out. Slaughter never did, and in my opinion ‘Fear no evil’ is their best album, still in the same hard rock style as first two, if not slightly ballsier. Highly recommended.

Actually? I find that hard to believe. But I guess you lot can never criticise me for anything I've not heard, now. ;}

Once I get my website up and running, I totally will!

Putting the caveat on that because I've been working on a "10 bands I wish we could get a second album from" for literal years, but bands keep coming back from the dead and making me have to start over.

Start a new list: "10 bands I wish hadn't come back from the dead."

Well now I see why Whipped never did a thing for me. Some of it really sucks and it too experimental. Worse then the industrial stuff.

You said you had never played it, not that it never did anything for you.

Owned and never played it. Whats the fucking difference?

You said you could see why it never did anything for you? How could you know it never did anything for you if you had never listened to it before?

I never said I never listened to it. I said I never gave it a chance. I know reading is hard.

Clearly reading is hard, because you can't seem to be able to read your own first post.
