Twisted Sister is probably the most underrated metal band of all time. Stay Hungry is one of my favorite albums. Also check out Still Hungry which is them redoing Stay Hungry in 2000.

Another artists that they call a one hit wonder: Jimi Hendrix (All Along The Watchtower). Also Led Zeppelin technically only had one big hit (Whole Lotta Love). But both of these artists are now held in the highest reguard

They have run out of reality show ideas….so they try to come up with a new 1-hit-wonders show as if they had run out of 1-hit-wonder bands. How about they just play some friggin’ videos again.

I was watching The Who’s rock opera last night. While I like some old The Who songs….that movie was terrible. Not like The Wall, that’s for sure. VH1 Classic is cool sometimes…(Like last night watching Maiden Rock In Rio) and then other times it just blows.

What idiots are they to say that either Ratt or Twisted Sister are one hit wonders. Both had pretty good runs with their music. Jesus, they could’ve said Winger…lol

I forgot to add: When my brother first got Stay Hungry back in the early 80’s I must have been about 8 or 9 years old. I thought it was pretty cool but it wasn’t until I really started to get in to more metal in the late 80’s early 90’s that I came to appreciate Twisted Sister. It wasn’t the make-up and the tights, but the music was cool.

I could name a few Ratt songs, but if I saw a best of album I could probably sing along to most of them. The only reason I knew RATT and Twisted Sister was because of my brother.

If you’re ever in a record store, check out either Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister or Big Hits N’ Nasty Cuts. Both of them are great cds.

Twisted Sister a one hit wonder?!? No way! Ratt maybe, never being a fan I only know their song “Round and Round.” But I knew of at least 5 T.S. songs even before I became a true Metal Head.
“We’re Not Gonna Take It” “I Wanna Rock” “Stay Hungry” “Tear It Loose” “Bad Boys (of Rock N Roll)” all are classics of the Shock Rock era. No one other than ALice Cooper, or King Diamond, have exemplified the sub-genre more.

When I think of Twisted Sister, I Wanna Rock and Be Cruel To Your School are the only two songs that come to mind. And as far as Ratt go, I couldn’t name you a hit song at all.

However, maybe that’s just because they were slightly before my introduction to rock and metal.
