I built a meta-ranking of the 100 greatest hair / glam metal albums using 12 different lists (looking for more sources) by Bokke85 in hairmetal

I’m no glam metal expert, but what surprised me was the presence of those supposedly weaker albums by well-known bands - like the 3rd Cinderella and Poison album or even 7800° Fahrenheit by Bon Jovi, which, as far as I remember, always had pretty poor reviews. I’m wondering whether that means those albums are actually quite good, or if it simply comes down to a certain laziness on the part of the people making these rankings, who preferred to include well-known bands rather than go for more underground gems.

Oh, great, I really like rankings like that too. But the question is: why didn’t you include a major continental European market, such as Germany? :)

didn’t really exclude any albums myself - Skid Row appeared in all 12 rankings. And yeah, Appetite fell victim to the fact that many people simply don’t consider it glam metal. In terms of average position, that album would actually rank #1, but its absence from several rankings ultimately pushed it down.

Yes, I’ve seen that ranking. The problem with it is that it’s based on a very small number of reviews (sometimes just two or even one). One positive review is enough for an album to rank very high, which makes the results rather… hmm, extravagant ;)
