I'm not sure if these should go into metal or not:

- High and Dry/Pyromania/Hysteria - Def Leppard (Hard Rock/Glam Metal/Pop Rock/Arena Rock)
- Shout at the Devil/Girls Girls Girls/Dr. Feelgood - Motley Cure (Glam Metal/Hard Rock)
- Appetite for Destruction/Use Your Illusion I & II - Guns N' Roses (Hard Rock/Heavy Metal)
- Out of the Cellar/Invasion of Your Privacy - RATT (Glam Metal/Hard Rock) (also don't have a single bad album)
- Whitesnake 1987 - Whitesnake (Glam Metal)
- Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich/Cherry Pie - Warrant (Pop Rock/Glam Metal/Hard Rock)
You should consult someone other than me if you want to know if hair metal should be considered real metal.
Most people would lump it into metal, but personally, as a hair metal aficionado, I tend not to (depends on the band. Poison is not metal. Dokken is metal).

Actually, put Motley Crue, RATT and Whitesnake in metal.
Classic Rock includes Glam Metal and Hair metal. Really I think it also includes Hard Rock, except for new bands that call themselves hard rock. Our metal forum is mostly "teh brutalz" stuff, which I don't really think fits Motley Crue etc.
Joel, you do know you have modpowers in this forum right?
