[@musicfan1086]

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thank you & thanks for sharing your ranking 🤘 I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since Infestation was released, great album!

[@thomashubner697]

Had all 9 albums in my player this weekend and must say I love all. Even Collage and the yellow selftiteled are very good. Not often you have a band without a bad album. This is one of them. Good episode!

[@boscocfh]

Cant argue with that list. Love that you have Detonator up toward the top. Very underrated album i think.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I’ve always loved Detonator , should not be overlooked ! Thanks for watching my friend 🤘 Stay Heavy !

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

1. Out of the Cellar 2. Invasion of your Privacy 3. Dancing Undercover 4. Detonator 5. Infestation 6. RATT 7. Reach for the Sky Ratt was the second band I got into after KISS in '85 when I was 14! Still one of my favorites!

[@paulklimo2396]

Love Strange Highways in the background Awesome ranking! For me, I think Dancing is #1 but it changes. Last week I think it would have been Invasion. Love the band. So much better than most of the stuff that came out in that era...way better than Crue, Poison, Warrant etc. Thanks so much!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thank you I love Dio ! Out of the bands you mentioned Ratt was the most consistent in my opinion , especially with the classic lineup , great album after great album ! Thanks for watching , please stop by anytime ! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘

[@evo66]

Hi Darcy..I am a big RATT fan...only to get the self title because it don't sound like RATT...and the EP .But Infestation(Red album cover) have a redo EP with new recordings which is expensive.!!!!you really inspire me to keep my jewel cases clean and mint...good job!!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I agree on the self titled album from ‘99 , definitely a change in sound ! Ha ha I am so picky , I replace any jewel case with cracks or too many scratches , I know I’m crazy 🙄 Thanks my friend 🤘 Stay Heavy

[@mrboulder9714]

Nice to see someone else say that Detonator is an underrated album, I really think it doesn't get enough recognition. Great ranking mate

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Oh man I love Detonator , I gotta track that one down on vinyl ! Thanks for watching James 🤘 Ratt ‘N’ Roll

[@drew.reviews]

At #5 when you said guessing other lists is fun, I guessed yours clear up to #2. I'm with you on Detonator. Love that record.

[@gerhardk2348]

I only know 3 Ratt albums (Out of the Cellar,Invasion of ...and Infestation)and they are really good.I think Glam Metal isn`t very popular in Europe because you can`t get albums from Ratt,Poison,Mötley Crüe in the record stores.My fav.is Out of the Cellar.I don`t listen very often to Glam Metal because i am more into Thrash Metal.But sometimes it`s great to play Glam stuff.It`s a matter of the mood.Great video as always !!!! Cheers my friend🤘

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

You nailed it my friend , it’s all about the mood ! I got through my little phases , thrash , traditional , speed , power , glam & death metal , it’s all metal to me lol . If you want to check out more RATT , check out Detonator or Dancing Undercover , both awesome ! Thanks Gerhard 🤘 Stay Heavy

[@davidisaacs7312]

Great Rankings Darcy, can't go wrong with any of the old school Ratt albums, I really like their EP, recently picked up on vinyl, enjoyed as always, look forward to the next one, Take Care and Stay Heavy Brother 🤘🤘

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks David ! My small local record shop owner has a nice copy of the RATT ep in his personal collection , I’ll keep bugging him until he sells it lol . Cheers brother 🤘 Stay Heavy

[@paulelliott3220]

Hi Darcy Ratt really passed me by ... listened to a couple of songs from their debut but that has been it Will check them out again I’m a big fan of ranking lists too and yours are the primo 🤘 You ever a fan of Triumph ? Another great Canadian band Take care

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Ratt is a blast from my past , still enjoy them all these years later ! With Triumph I really only know the hits , they have a bunch of remasters out , I really need to pickup a few ! How your doing great Paul 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

[@metalnga]

My ranking would be very similar. I always thought the same about Detonator. I saw them on the Reach For The Sky tour in 1989 with Great White and Kix opening, so that album also holds a special place for me. Great video Darcy! Cheers 🤘🏼

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I’m jealous you got to see them live , I bet it was a awesome show , I got to see Great White open for Judas Priest in ‘84 , another great 80’s band . Hope life is treating you good Jamie 🤘 Stay Heavy

[@dravenquinn264]

My ranking for the RATT albums would be 1. Out Of The Cellar 2. Detonator 3. Infestation 4. Dancing Undercover 5. Invasion Of Your Privacy 6. Reach For The Sky 7. RATT 99

[@42yearoldboy5]

Really enjoyed the video! I’m just getting into ratt and my first album was ratt n roll 81-91. I smiled when you recommended it to people getting into the band,cause that’s how I got into the band! That album is freaking phenomenal!!! I love every song! I’m getting into the studio albums now and since I didn’t grow up with the albums like you,infestation is gonna be much higher on my list! If I didn’t know when that came out then I would have swore it came out in the 80’s! Fantastic newer stuff if you can call ten years old new.

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Darcy!! Ratt along with Dokken are my favorite bands from LA's rock scene..... and totally agree with your ranking, right now i only have three of them OOTC (cd + vinyl), IOYP (cd + vinyl) & Infestation and waiting, i hope, the arrival of Detonator. But the one i really want to get is Dancing (cd is just fine with me) ..... and then the other two. Cheers and take care

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I’d say Ratt & Dokken are two of my favourites from the L.A. scene to , I just wish I would’ve paid more attention to Dokken after Back For The Attack , I’m going to try & get some of those later albums at some point ! I hope you get all the ones your looking for ! Cheers Christian 🤘 Stay Heavy

[@TimfromMKE]

Like you, Invasion of your Privacy is my favorite. I'll have to check out Infestation heard lots of good things about it.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

If you like early Ratt you’ll like Infestation , a album that easily could of came out in ‘91-‘92 ! Cheers Tim 🤘

This ranking isn’t full proof lol , but it should help you a bit ! Thanks as always Mike 🤘

[@jimmyr204]

One of my favorite 80's bands. Got me into metal back in the day. Able to see the original lineup play twice over the years. I agree, Detonator is very underrated.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

That’s too cool you got to see the classic lineup live , F’ing awesome !! You think 80’s RATT gotta be in the conversation ! Take care Jimmy 🤘 Ratt ‘n’ Roll

[@RunwiththePack83]

great ranking Darcy....yours is exactly as I would rank them. I too love Detonator...such a good album that does seem to be quite under-appreciated. I agree about Arcade, which was another great band!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks very much ! I need to get some Arcade on CD . Check out those Stephen Pearcy solo albums if you haven’t , both killer ! Take care & always Stay Heavy 🤘

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I may do so, but I am happy with Killers Eddie and the three other ones for now. You know, Ratt reminded me a little but of late '90s Megadeth... I thought that was interesting. And, thank you! I'm always happy when someone thinks of me. 😁 I interviewed a local band two days ago with my friend for her channel, so I'll let you know when that video is up. Cheers, mate! 🍻

[@cassettemayhem-dan3086]

Exactly the same ranking if I were to do one. Invasion has been my fave for all these years and Infestation could have came out right after Invasion because it’s so good, and yes Detonator edges out Undercover, cool ranking bud and Finally home and able to “somewhat “ get caught up on videos, hope you’re having a cool summer cheers

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Lots of great memories go with those Ratt albums ! Just got the boat in the water this past weekend , definitely ready to enjoy some time at lake , hope you have a great summer ! Cheers brother 🍻

[@daggy174]

It's a Testament to RATT's consistency that all of these albums are well-recorded and enjoyable. I would put Dancing Undercover on the top of the list with Invasion and Out Of The Cellar a close second and third.

[@davidf.1226]

Hey Darcy! What's up? Looks like your ready for some Ratt n Roll! Ratt sure have one solid library. I got to see them back on their Dancing Undercover tour with Poison opening for them. Fantastic show! It's to bad that there is 4 out of the 5 original members running around and they can't get along with one another. Now Pearcy's last two albums were fantastic and I feel he kept quite a bit of that Ratt sound. When they decide to release new music I hope the current line up keeps true to that sound the best they can. Personally this to me would be a tough ranking because they don't have a bad album. You rankings and mine would be the almost the same with one exception and that would be Out of the Cellar would be my number one followed by Invasion of Your Privacy. Ever since the time me and my buddy seen Round and Round on MTV for the first time and that awesome dual guitar solo kicked in I have just been hooked on that song and album. That's how I was introduced to Ratt! Darcy another great video! So you didn't want to try to rock that bathrobe look! Lol.. Take care my friend and as always stay heavy!!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Your absoulty right David , those 4 guys need to get their shit together & crank out another great album like Infestation ! Round And Round is a song that I never get tired of & that solo always blows me away ! Lol I don’t even own a bathrobe , I’m hoping Metal Mickey will send me one of his signature models ! Cheers my friend 🤘 keep kicking ass & taking down names :))

[@mostlymetal5330]

Excellent list. Detonator is great. Can't Wait on Love is my fav off that album. Invasion of you Privacy is my personal fav. Not a bad song on there!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thank you & sorry for the late reply ! Invasion Of Your Privacy is a flawless album in my opinion , including the album cover 😜 Take care ~ Darcy

[@Easystreet208]

Invasion is my favorite as well! One has to give some Kudos to Beau Hill on his work Producing that Album. The sound of that Album still resonates today. Its Killer!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

You nailed it , Beau Hill is great producer & really instrumental in Ratt’s sound , kinda like Mutt was with Def Leppard’s sound ! Invasion is one of those albums I could listen to daily & never tire of ! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘 Ratt ‘n’ Roll

My Ratt rankings are as follows: 9. Ratt (1999) 8. Collage 7. Detonator 6. Infestation 5. Dancing Undercover 4. Ratt EP 3. Reach For The Sky 2. Invasion Of Your Privacy 1. Out Of The Cellar If you’re a fan, I’d be interested to hear your ranking of the studio albums by Tesla. Keep up the great work!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks for sharing your ranking Martin ! I should of put the ep in the ranking , if I did it would of been in the #3 spot . I have the first 4 Tesla albums , I think they’re all great , I did lose track of them after 1994 , but I’m looking to get their other 4 albums soon , so hopefully I’ll rank those in the future ! Thanks for the request 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

[@GRockVC]

Can't complain about that ranking. I didn't realize they only had 7 albums. Infestation is a great album. I really liked it when it came out, but it was hard to find and when I did it was really expensive and I couldn't justify paying for it when I could get 3 other great albums for the same price. Mebbies I'll look it up now. I'd probably have the same top 3 as you. Detonator is my go to Ratt album. I'm sure Mrs six strings would be thrilled to get a couple of life size Ratt artworks 😂🤘🤘

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

What Mrs.SixStrings doesn’t know won’t hurt her , that’s why she’s not allowed to sub my channel 😂 I know what you mean about Infestation being pricey , it’s only 10 years old , shouldn’t be that hard to find at a decent price ! Keep rockin’ GRock 🤘

[@668_neighbor_of_the_beast6]

I really enjoy these ranking videos, it’s a perfect way to approach a band you don’t know very well. I know some of the bigger Rat singles but don’t actually own a single album. I don’t know why but I never really gave them a real try. Just so much music out there in the 80’s, I couldn’t listen to everything I guess. It was the same thing for me with Tesla but with you recently talking about them, I gave them a try and really enjoyed their music. Keep up the great videos Darcy, I really appreciate them.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Next up is Death , another tough one , not a bad album in the bunch ! You know over the years I’ve actually gravitated to heavier & more aggressive music , the funny thing is over the years I’m the reverse of that , I’m more laid back & not much bothers me really , go figure lol ! Anyways I’ll always love my 80’s Metal & Hard Rock , RATT definitely comes with fond memories for me . Thanks for great comments & thank you for making this a pile of fun ! Take care ~ Darcy 🤘

[@Paneeks1960]

That was very cool Darcy. Sadly I am only familiar with the first Ratt album. I saw them as a backup to Motley Crue at the Orpheum in Boston back in 1984. They put on a good show. I think I saw Steven Pearcy in a commercial recently for GEICO. Who would have expected that thirty five years ago? Well done~ Rob/Boston

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks Rob 🤘 much appreciated ! Wow the Crüe & Ratt in ‘84 , that’s awesome ! That Geico commercial is great , I heard that the song Round And Round has even re-entered the charts because of it , now that’s great marketing !

[@speedking4951]

Again a nice ranking video Darcy! I got into Ratt through infestation, which i found to be awesome. The last album i picked up was their self titled one, last summer, which didn't do much for me. Maybe I should give it a fresh spin. Love Stephen pearcy's latest album. Quite the Ratt sound on this one. Cheers buddy 🍻.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks as always my friend ! Infestation is a great album with modern production while still maintaining a 80’s feel ! If you want a great snapshot of RATT try that compilation I showed Ratt ‘n’ Roll 81-91 . Cheers 🍻 Stay Heavy

[@mikepreston7304]

Love it! While I was introduced to Ratt back in '84 with Out of the Cellar, and absolutely loved that cassette when I picked it up, I quickly left the band behind when I started to discover thrash. What can I say, I was a young thrasher, and couldn't appreciate the rest of the Ratt albums at the time. As I've gotten older, I've gone back and fallen in love with all their 80's albums, but I've never bothered with anything else from their catalog. That's what I love about these ranking videos as I'm definitely going to have to check out Detonator and Infestation now. Thanks for a great video!

I love Ratt, though I'm not yet familiar with their last few releases. My top 3 Ratt albums are: 1. Out of the Cellar, 2. Dancing Undercover (saw them on that tour in March of '87 ) and 3. Invasion of your Privacy. The Ratt & Roll - 8191 compilation is killer. I listen to that quite often. I've heard good things about those two Stephen Pearcy albums you showed here. I'm definitely going to look into those. Very enjoyable ranking video Darcy! Take care :)

[@niklaseriksson7569]

Great ranking, great band! I think the two first is classics and I rank ”Invation of your privacy” just a little higher than the first, but not by much. I think it is because of the tracks ”Lay it down” and ”What you give is what you get”. Those tracks are in my opinion the best they have done! Just listen to the guitar riffs!

[@alibobsmarland9572]

1. Out of the Cellar. 2. Invasion of your Privacy 3. Dancing Undercover. I wish they had used the heavier version of You're in Trouble from the EP on Out Of the Cellar but that's a minor quibble about a great album.

Great list, mine's pretty close. RATT is still one of my top favorite bands. I always ranked Detonator very high, but you ranked it even higher. I would put it below Dancing Undercover. Infestation is amazing, I have an autographed copy. Nice that you mentioned Stephen Pearcy's solo albums, View to a Thrill is awesome and could be a RATT album. If you haven't already, check out Pearcy's bands Arcade and Vertex. Some good stuff there.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Thanks very much ! Dancing Undercover & Detonator are so darn close , both great albums ! That’s awesome you have a autographed copy of Infestation ! I’ve definitely heard Arcade , but to be honest I’ve never heard Vertex , I will check ‘em out , thanks for the recommendations ! Take care ~ Darcy 🤘

Wicked ranking man. Hard to choose between out of the cellar and invasion of your privacy. Invasion has the better cover for sure haha. I just heard infestation for the first time a few months ago. It blew me away super impressed. I had no idea stephen had that many solo albums. Ill have to look them up. How about the Arcade albums A1 and A2 solid albums. Sounds just like ratt to me haha.

[@waynept1]

I have Dancing ahead of Detonator. And sometimes Dancing Under Undercover is my favorite Ratt album. Listen to that album from beginning to end and tell me if there's another Ratt album with that much tempo throughout. Revisiting it also reminded me of how hard the drums hit on that one too. My sentimental favorite will always be Invasion Of Your Privacy.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Dancing Undercover is a great album , your right about that drum sound ! A friend of mine just picked up a original copy on vinyl for me , I couldn’t be happier ! Invasion Of Your Privacy holds tons of memories for me also ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada

Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives Out Of The Cellar and Dancing Undercover. I actually like their 1999 album too. Not many others seem to though. View To A Thrill is my favourite Pearcy solo album. 👍🏻

[@desertrocker]

No surprises as to numbers 1 and 2. Ratt was one of many bands lumped into the hair metal genre that really had some interesting sounds to offer. At the time I thought them a bit light with songs like Way Cool Junior but I've since come around to appreciating them. Saw them live in 2009.

My #1 is easily Out Of The Cellar, followed by Invasion Of Your Privacy. Love both albums. Favorite Ratt song is Closer To My Heart. Not too fond of Dancing Undercover and I hated Detonator. Gave up on them after that. Stephen Pearcy's band, Arcade, had a couple hits that were pretty good in the early 90's.
