Rolling Stone dropped their list of the 50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time — and as expected, it’s sparking a ton of debate in 2026.
In this reaction, I go through the full list with my honest, no-BS takes. I break down what they got right, what they completely missed, and which albums I think should have ranked much higher (or lower). From Def Leppard’s Hysteria sitting at #1 to the usual mainstream picks vs. the real sleaze gems, this one gets spicy 🔥
Timestamps:
0:10 - Intro & First Impressions of the List
1:02:00 - Top 20 Albums

Did Rolling Stone get it right, or did they butcher the list? Drop your biggest disagreement in the comments — best takes get shouted out next time! 🤘
