great genre, defines 80's hard rock, smome of this bands have great musicians in contrast to crappy grunge and hardcore bands like alica in chains and korn. i know not all the band were good(poison sucks) but the groups generally were excellent. all the stupid people agaisnt this genre usually listen to hardcore and grunge. grunge: crap with no talented musicians
hardcore:decadescense of metal in all ways pure noise, no musianship.
