Decade of Decadence: '81-'91 by Motley Crue

Pros: Big hair, big voices, big guitar riffs
Cons: Too loud at times, lacks inspiration

Hair bands in the 1980’s were like boy bands in the 1990’s. Both groups were good looking, appealed specifically to young women, and exhibited a questionable level of talent. Regardless of the band’s sound of the musical quality, these hair-sprayed and...

Pros: Motley Crue's hits all in one place
Cons: Will never be as good as this

I saw Motley Crue in concert in June on the Maximum Rock tour. The cast was a bit different since Tommy Lee has decided to venture on to solo career (Methods Of Mayhem). The replacement drummer had a replacement of his own. The female drummer from Hole...

Pros: A compilation of their hits up to 1991
Cons: Vince Neil left for awhile after this

Let me first start by saying that I am very friendly with Tommy Lee. Motley Crue are wonderful down-to-earth guys who don't deny the fact that they have gotten rich from doing something they love. The fact that some people get jealous of the fact that...

Pros: Has most of the Crue's best songs.
Cons: Filler.

Okay, now stop that snickering. I know some of you are wondering why I'm here reviewing a Motley Crue album. We all have our guilty pleasures and this Motley Crue best of album is one of mine.

I know some people may be wondering, "Jeff, how...

Pros: some of their best songs are here
Cons: 2 weak songs

People often mistake me for a buttrocker, just because I have a Motley Crue poster hanging on my wall. Truth is, the only '80's L.A. metal/hair bands I've ever liked are RATT and Motley Crue. Now, Motley Crue really stood out from all the other L.A....

Pros: All their videos from 81-91.
Cons: Too much filler

Now, I have been a Crue fan since 1987, I was fifteen and Girls Girls Girls was the album that everybody told you not to get. Being a teenager and a male how can you not be attracted to that title? I remember seeing the censored version of Girls video...

Pros: Has all their videos during the specified era
Cons: Boring Dialogue

The Era
Okay, I admit it. I was a huge teeny bopper in junior high school. It was the late 80's. Big hair and glam rock were still the rage. 21 Jump Street was still on the air and all was right with the world.

Mötley Crüe released...

Pros: Best of the Crue
Cons: Zip

At the time when Motley Crue's "Decade of Decadence" was released, the band had put out 5 highly proclaimed albums. Of those 5 albums, there were plenty of chart toppers among them, namely; "Live Wire", "Shout at the...

Pros: it has of good songs
Cons: I can find none

First off I bought this album because I love Motley Crue(or did before they lost Tommy Lee).The album consists of a compilation of their greatest hits from the albums,Too Fast For Love,Shout At The Devil,Theatre of Pain,Girl,Girls Girls..,and...

Pros: All of the best of the band
Cons: it's no longer in print and very hard to get.

Whether they were shouting at the devil, smoking in the boys' room, or hanging out with Dr. Feelgood, Motley Crue basically defined the word "decadent" in the 1980's heavy metal scene. This collection, released in 1991, recounts the "glory days" of ...
