Who Was Your Favorite Musical Artist In High School?
 

I have to confess that I was seriously into the hair metal (i.e) Guns N Roses, skid Row, Poison. Tesla, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, However, I still dig those bands... :upsidedow

Guns N' Roses is NOT hair metal.

Sorry... I get quite annoyed at that :P

:D Guns N' Roses is my all time favorite band :)

bone thugs

Depeche Mode

pink floyd.

Slayer, the misfits, pantera, megadeth, and metallica.

I loved many bands and different styles back then, so it's impossible for me to pick just one (I have over 1,000 LPs from that era), but Pink Floyd was always near the top (especially when getting stoned, which was pretty much how I went through "High" School)... :stoned

Dead: Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison (The Doors), Janis Joplin

Alive: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Who, Aerosmith, Montrose

Folky: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Eagles

Artsy: Genesis (Peter Gabriel era), also King Crimson, ELP, Yes

Showy: David Bowie, Alice Cooper

Jazzy: Miles Davis, John Coltrane

I remember I played Santana and War records a lot too when cruising...

I agree...but in the "welcome to the jungle video" a bottle of hair spray on Axl begs to differ :winkwink:

Yes... Depeche Mode.... was always happy with Boingo too.

Bad Religion


.. still is my favorite with Floyd/Waters

Tool for sure

rush, ac/dc, zepplin, the crue, metallica, holy shit..too many to mention

Well, Hair Metal is not called Hair Metal just because of the hair ... it's what that whole scene represented, and the style of the music...

I think Welcome to the Jungle as a song, totally sums up the destruction of Hair Metal.

The sneering vocals of Axl, the ripping sound of Slash and Izzy twinning guitars, the thundering rock sounds of the Duff's bass ... the groove of Steve Adler's drumming....

No gloss... no bullshit. Just raw dirty rock.

I sound like an advert ... but that band meant/means so much to me! :D LOL

AC/DC & Black Sabbath

Pantera.

beastie boys

Which Prince? I swear every time I looked up in the 80's he was a different person.

I like Prince since the late 70's when he started. Way before he hit pop status. Saw him in concert the first time in Cleveland, Ohio in 1982. 1999 tour.

He released Prince (1979), Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982).

He really has been around a long time. I always recall my high school years. With every new album he looked like some other person. He made sure you never got attatched to one look
