Unexpected ranking. I have never explored this discography but I might have to check out under the blade. Would love to see WASP next!

yeah, They have a bit of a mixed discography, the early stuff is fine though. No plans for WASP just yet, I'm not that familiar with the more recent stuff. I'm always more into the 80s stuff which makes these rankings a bit hard, much to go through. Cheers!

@@RuthlessMetalYT Good stuff man. I just listened to Under the blade and I gotta say I was taken by surprise. Here was a band that was known for being glammed up and writing the cheesy mega hit "we're not gonna take it" (a weak song in general in my opinion.) I look forward to future rankings they fail to disappoint me

[@plciferpffer3048]

Still remember the summer of 84. I was 11 years old and had the Stay Hungry album on copy cassette. I played it 24/7. It still bring back memories when I hear some tracks from that album. That's nostalgic factor at 100%

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yeah they still played it on MTV all the time when I started to grasp on what's going on. :D

[@jaymzb.1713]

LOL that's great. Stay Hungry is such a good album for its time. Twisted Sister received no radio airplay out on the West Coast of U.S.A. (except for U Cant Stop Rock & Roll the song, not any other song from that or their 1st album) The band is from New York City and from what I heard no one could touch their shows in N.Y.C.. I love Dee's attitude and Jay Jay French did amazing work as the manager of Sevendust. They were an original hard working band. It's too bad they bent towards glam rock at the end of their careers as TS. Who knows what could have been? I actually had Stay Hungry on 8-track LOL it was the last 8-track I ever bought so I will always remember it fondly. Suicidal 4 Life ✌️🤘

Somehow I wasnt surprised that you ranked Twisted Sister, since I know that they have respect within the more hardcore metal fans. I know that TS from the beginning where more Heavy Metal, but as time progressed they became more Hair Metal, which a lot of band did so it was a trend and for many a way to gain more success or sale rates within the mainstream. And of course Dee Snyder is a highly respected personally within the Metal community.

I remember when it was released. I had all this hype, ready for the next awesome TS album after “Stay Hungry”, then “COAP” was released … what an utter let-down for me. The only two songs I really like are the title track and “The Fire Still Burns”, after those, in my opinion, the album sucks. It is the worst TS album, but has cool album artwork.

I just bought a double cd concert at Hammersmith - that was recorded in 1984. It’s pretty good. Dee was a big time yapper between songs though. I saw them during “ Come Out and Play “ tour. Some of those songs were just downright silly in concert. Dee had the spotlight shine on some kid in a faraway horrible seat. He got this kid on stage.

I agree with 100% in order. I'm originally from New Jersey and saw them a bunch of times early on. My friends and i called ourselves SMF's after the song too. I saw them on Come Out and Play tour at Radio City Music Hall. It was worth it alone to see Dee Snider crawl out of a manhole cover on stage to the opening track to open the show.

Remember that in 1985 "Under the Blade" was rereleased with a new mix to match the sound of "Stay Hungry". The 1982 original LP is much more raw, and I like that much better. I'm not sure which mix was later available on CD in different regions of the world Overall, another example of a band where you can rank the albums by release date in ascending order.

Twisted Sister were at their best and most powerful before they ever started recording records. I agree that their best (and, to me, only album worth listening to) is Under The Blade. It somewhat captures the sound of their pre-recording club days. After Under The Blade, forget them. Also, I kind of thought they looked more like the New York Dolls than Kiss. What always makes me laugh is how Dee Snider acts like they were some sort of legends, when the truth is they really only had a couple of hit songs over a short period of time.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yeah New York Dolls and Kiss and Priest all stirred into one perhaps. Stay hungry! Cheers!

Being an old fart, I remember seeing the video for "You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll" when I was around ten back in 83/84, and being totally blown away by that raw catchy energy. Can't remember exactly where I saw it, but this was way before MTV here in Sweden, so probably on some weekly music show that featured a tiny bit of metal on each episode. Life as a young metalhead was rough back then 😅 For whatever reason I never bought the album as a kid (or any other TS album for that matter) but two years ago I ordered the cd. Now I probably should pick up "Under the Blade". Don't think I've heard much from that album at all, and for some weird reason, up until watcing this video I always thought UtB was the band's second release. Sometimes it only takes 40 years to find out you've been dead wrong all the time... 😁

Here are a few interesting facts. Dee Snider was a big fan of the 1979 cult classic film The Warriors, about a gang that has to cross dangerous enemy gang territory to get to safety after being framed for the death of a rival gang leader. At one point they are hiding in an apparently abandoned apartment building, and one very stoned but dangerous rival gang member is sitting outside in a crazy looking car clicking empty beer bottles together rhythmically and taunting them, "Warriors, come out to play." That line was the inspiration, as you might have guessed, for Come Out And Play. Dee Snider even mimics actor David Patrick Kelly's slow, menacing delivery of the line on the album, except it's, "Twisted Sister, come out and play." The song "The Leader of the Pack" is actually a reworked cover version of the du-wop classic by early 60s girl group the Shangri Las. The lyrics tell the story of a motorcycle gang leader who fatally crashed his bike after his girlfriend's father forced her to break up with him. The original was told from the point of view of the girlfriend. Dee had to slightly adjust the lyrics to the viewpoint of the biker himself, which made it even more morbid and creepy, since the "dead" man was narrating the events of his death. Twisted Sister seems to me to have followed the same career trajectory as Def Leppard. Both bands released two blistering, hard heavy metal masterpieces, then hit mainstream mega-success with a still pretty hard, but slightly more mainstream hard rock album, then sold out to poppy slop. Come to think of it, that's pretty much Motley Crue's output, too.

I think there albums were indicative of the general decline in rock/metal during the latter 80's...such a shame that they couldn't capture that raw live sound on album...and like you say they sort of sold out to mtv and radio like a lot of others.

Come Out and Play-a surprisingly good album in my opinion; I like the commercial, melodic tunes, and there's a few super heavy, speedy metal tracks 2. Stay Hungry-I would put this at #1 except those 2 big hits are so stupid and I don't care to hear them every again 1.

1 - Stay Hungry, 2 - Come Out, 3 & 4 - the first and the second records (with poor production) - 5 - Love Is for Suckers. My opinion. Stay Hungry and Come Out true masterpieces. If this Glam, Hard, Rock, thasn't matter. Good records with very good musics. My opinion...

[@jasonthompson8904]

Stay Hungry was my intro to them, and I thought it was great, but after listening to under the blade and you can’t stop rock n roll, I started finding stay hungry to be pretty basic

Hi,can you please do Armored Saint..Greetings

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I thought of it, it might happen some day, not in the plans right now but maybe in the future.

[@chrisconlan751]

I assume you aren't that familiar with armored saint. One of the best American metal bands. All albums are great except la Raza, which is hit or miss

Stay Hungry is number one on my list. 😀👍🤘🎸

Despite the quirkiness of the Twisted Christmas album. I find it hilarious to play during Christmas time with certain friends and family around. I passionately hate all the pop Christmas music everyone plays from Mariah Carey and Paul McCartney, so I like to dial up some obnoxiousness with a Twisted Christmas. And “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” video was hilariously ridiculous. It’s a Christmas tradition in our house. 🤟

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

hehe. Cheers!

I first saw a twisted sister 1980 at the mad hatter among island for some reason the wiki page does not even discuss the four song EP they released that’s the only records we had for a few years

Jag älskar twisted sister och min personliga favorit album med dom är såklart🤘💀🤘 Under the blade 1982 och sen you cant stop rock n roll 1983🤘💀🤘 och sen samlings albumet Club Daze Volume 1: The Studio Sessions med osläppta grymma låtar som dom spelade in i mitten slutet av 70-talet och tidigt 80-tal.

Love is for suckers is actually a Dee Snider solo album that the record label decide to slap the Twisted Sister name on it and got the out on the road. Big mistake by the record label..

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yeah, that often happens, they want to go solo but end up using their more known bands name.

[@JCStorm76]

Why? It still sold 250,000 copies and I really like it unlike most other people. If it came out as a Dee Snider solo album in 1987 it would have struggled to sell 50,000 copies tops

[@mirko1382]

@@JCStorm76 Despite me having it ranked at #4 on my list, it's a pretty good album, just on a Twister album. Love is for Suckers gets a 3.975/ 5 Grade (B)

@@mirko1382 Yes it’s way better than most people make out. Very underrated. I realise the more metal type of listener wouldn’t appreciate it. It’s number 3 on my list

[@dragonqueen6589]

Hey, what about doing and rank em all of Loudness🤔 I’m guessing you probably haven’t listened to all their material tho😂 Jay Jay French has said the reason the band eventually broke up was due to the inclusion of that cover of ‘The leader of the pack’ they decided to include on “Come out and play” he says “The song worked while we performed it in local bars, but didn’t translate well when recorded for a studio release” I guess that’s true since they faded into relative obscurity after that. I mean “Love is for suckers” is still a great album, but I’m being a little biased, since I automatically will love anything produced by Beau Hill😂

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

That's correct, I haven't and I probably never will even though their early stuff is cool. :D Cheers!

[@dragonqueen6589]

@@RuthlessMetalYT I only stick with the stuff with their og vocalist or Mike Vescera, I have never touched any of the releases that feature vocals of the guy who fronted another Japanese metal outfit either. What about Candlemass then? Though Messiah is my clear favourite, Johan is a close second and though he’s a great vocalist, Mats Leven’s voice has just never clicked with the way the voices of the other two have.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yes I love Candlemass so hopefully one day. :) Cheers!

[@marcmccourt843]

Dee kicks more ass as a solo artist than he ever did with TS, proving my point that he was just the singer not the leader of the pack!!!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

good one, cheers!

[@Moisty_1]

Can you do the misfits or Danzig next?

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Misfits I'll probably never do since it's off topic. Danzig perhaps even if I'm quite a noob on his more recent works. He lost me with that industrial sounding stuff. Cheers!

[@dgulag3733]

lol I love the Christmas album, and I put it on every Christmas season. But I'll agree, it kind of sucks

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yeah it happens here too, but maybe more because of christmas than how good the album is hehe

I love Wake Up The Sleeping Giant and the titke track from Love Is For Suckers, and Hot Love and the much maligned I Want This Night are enjoyable. I actually enjoy them more than the good songs from Come Out and Play. That being said, those two are a few levels below the first three. My favorite is, always has and always will be Stay Hungry, even if that's the most obvious one. I love the first two, but there's just some magic about Stay Hungry which just speaks to me. I've only heard the Still Hungry version of Burn In Hell, and that was enough to put me off that album. I generally avoid re-recorded albums anyaw. My problem with A Twisted Christmas isn't that it's a christmas album, but rather the poor choice of songs. Yes, nost christmas songs are boring as fuck and overplayed to death, but there are still maybe a handful of enjoyable ones (not enough for a full-length, but maybe 6/7 track EP, and not all of them would lend themselves well to a heavy metal version). But still, novelty albums can piss off anyway. They definitely deserve to be at the bottom.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yeah rerecordings is an abomination haha

[@gibsonlespaul796]

I thought Still Hungry was unnecessary, until I saw them live. The sound on Stay Hungry isn't remotely close to how that band sounds on stage. They're far heavier than what was captured in 1984, and a lot closer to what Still Hungry sounds like! 1. YCSR&R 2. UTB 3. Still Hungry 4. Stay Hungry 5. COAP 6. LIFS

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yeah but I'm one of those guys that prefers how metal sounded in the early eighties in comparison to now, maybe it's clearer and all the errors have been edited out but it just lacks the organic feeling of that era.

[@gibsonlespaul796]

@@RuthlessMetalYT the guitars on Stay Hungry sound like a Nintendo video game, whereas the guitar at real TS show were thick and ij your face! Same with the drums! AJ was a monster drummer, which was not captured at all on Stay Hungry. Still Hungry is much better representation of how that band sounded live !!!

you should do for Riot!
