Ranking the Studio Albums: Cinderella

[@johnappleton8133]

Cinderella was very consistent and never had a lull period or a bad release. They were one of the best 80s hard rock bands out there and there were a ton back then so competition was steep.

[@craigiecubsfan71]

Still Climbing is so underrated. “The Road’s Still Long” is easily one of their best songs.

[@csabacsernak7445]

Yeeeeee! The Blood from Stone, one of my top 5 songs of all time this genre.

[@leifsiklossy6548]

Nobody’s Fool is still my favorite song. I love the first two albums which is all I own. Cinderella are one of the best hard rock bands of that era.

[@Mission2Transition641]

love that song and video. Its what hooked me onto Cinderella

[@1977tme]

Seriously one of the most underrated bands in the history of underrated bands. 4. Night Songs (still amazing, but they hadn't quite found their identity yet) 3. Still Climbing 2. Long, Cold Winter 1. Heartbreak Station (My Top 2 are more or less interchangeable, but I think this album just sounds a bit more natural and heartfelt)

[@karstenthiemann2828]

If there is ANY band that was more unfairly tossed to the side as just another glam band than Cinderella, then I have yet to hear of them. They’re amazing. And much more blues based than ANY other glam band. As opposed to most of the other glam bands who were just influenced by blues and had a couple blues songs, blues was actually a CORE element of theirs. I can’t really think of any other glam bands who’s core sound was blues. They were like Aerosmith and Zeppelin in terms of blues being a core element of the music, not just an influence

Psycho City. What a great underrated album. To me, Great White's artistic peak as a band. Firing on all cylinders from top to bottom on that album. Alan Niven, their former manager, fully believes so and has said multiple times how that album should be recognized more. Bad timing coming out in 1992 unfortunately. A shame.

Great review. I have been a Cinderella fan ever since the beginning and was fortunate to catch them in Knoxville on the LCW tour with Bulletboys and Winger opening. As far as the ranking I'm with you Pete except I would reverse your 3 & 4, as I have always felt that Heartbreak Station is their weakest album and was too much of a departure from the initial sound that hooked me. I am also a huge fan of Tom Keifer's solo albums...especially Rise which feels like a continuation of Still Climbing. So glad you finally gave them a chance all these years later and found that they were more than just their glam look.

[@dtltmtgt]

A fan since 1986. Keifer always reminder me of Brian Johnson. Saw them live twice back in the 80s, just regret not seeing them in a small club a few years ago. Nothing too controversial with my list actually: 1. Long Cold Winter (a great bluesy shift from the debut IMO) 2. Night Songs (still a very close 2nd!) 3. Heartbreak Station (I actually like this one more today) 4. Still Climbing (a good album, but a bigger gap compared to #3)

Thanks guys, I had a very similar opinion to Pete back in the day, and didnt take any real notice of them when they were at Donington in 87 and nearly didnt watch this one but had a half hour to spare so gave it a go and while I dont think they'll ever be an absolute favourite of mine being more of a Deep Purple than Led Zep fan, but having now listened to their catalogue on Deezer, certainly are a band that I shouldnt have ignored, and am quite enjoying Night Songs and will probably listen to that one a few more times definitley better than the Motley Crud/Poison/Warrant music of the same time. Maybe not on this but certainly on the next couple Tom's voice sounds a bit Axl Rose'ish at times - though that should actually be Axl sounds like Tom Keifer. Just goes to prove to myself yet again not to dismiss anything until you've actually heard it and can make up your own mind rather than follow your perception or listen to others' criticism.

Awesome episode! And my list will be just like Pete's as well. I like all 4, but I too prefer them in order. I do have to admit that it took me awhile to adapt to the more bluesy sound after such a kick ass rocking debut, but I adapted and love Long Cold Winter. Thankfully that was the 2nd release though because the 3rd album may have pushed me away by how much more bluesy they went. So it worked out alright. But I do wish they would have given us another album like the debut and then did the next 3. But, I'm good with what we got.

I actually bought the first album on import when it was released, I enjoyed it and the second album for a year or two. But hair metal got dated very quickly and does not stand the test of time now.

Great video Pete I would rank them the same way as you another band that was lumped in the hair metal category was skid row which I never thought was a part of that

Thats bcs 'hair metal' term was popularised in the mid-90s by Mtv to ridicule 80s Hard Rock Bands so that people wouldn't see 80s Hard Rock as a legitimate form of music& wouldn't demand it. They were also ridiculing 70s Hard Rock Bands as 'dinosaur bands' at the time. This was when Mtv turned into a Rap/Dance/Alternative channel. 'Hair metal' is a dumb 90s term, not an actual musical style.
