Poison Is A Top 50 Band - A Pole (1 Viewer)

[Dan Lambskin]

Poison is a top 50 band, right?

 

[bagger]

Loved Poison.. top 50 glam rock band, that’s about it.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

A top 50 band that has a song with the word "unskinny" in the title, yes.

 

[Ghost Rider]

If the question is, is Poison a top 50 band among those who debut came out in 1986, sure.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Top 50 is selling them short. I'm pretty sure they had at least one song that charted in the Top 40.

 

[Hastur]

Maybe top 150...maybe.

 

[Anarchy99]

They are one of the few bands that I have seen across 5 decades. I always enjoyed their shows. High energy and they always but forth some effort (even if they aren’t the deepest or best of bands). FYI, they opened for other bands.

 

[Mister CIA]

They were top 50 - until Winger came along.

Has someone been day drinking?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

ALL TIME? No.

agreed. though it's a tough call between Poison and Sleeze Beez for that #50 spot

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

The poll is difficult because sometimes you can't choose. It's like heads they win, tails you're gonna lose.

 

[Willie Neslon]

I have them ranked just behind Lipps Inc. and just ahead of Johnny Hates Jazz.

 

[bigbottom]

Fallen Angel is a great tune. The rest . . . .

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Poison is very easily in my favorite 50 bands to listen to of all time

 

[Ridgeback]

Um, wat? I need some of what you're smoking!

Poison is a top 50 Bell Biv DeVoe song

Never trust a big butt and a smile



… and whatever you do, don’t send nudes

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Have I entered an alternate timeline?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Top 50 all time?
NO!

Top 50 Hair Band?
That would be more appropriate I think

-Huge shoutout to Brett Michaels, he's done a lot of amazing things over the years to help a lot of folks thru numerous charities he supports
I did not love all their songs back in the day, many flat out hated them but they did have several albums and they had some HUGE HITS
Every Rose Has it's Thorn sold millions and millions of records

Do you know how many really good bands would never sniff Top 50?
Seriously, think about it

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Has someone been day drinking?

Can we not label people?

 

[In The Zone]

Just ahead of Zodiac, Mindwarp, and the Love Reaction

 

[ChiefD]

You are high

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Just ahead of Zodiac, Mindwarp, and the Love Reaction

That band was awesome!

Find me a better video than Prime Mover.

top 50 glam rock band, that’s about it.

Yep
Most people genuinely claiming a band to be “top 50” really underestimates the number of bands there have been.

 

[-OZ-]

-Huge shoutout to Brett Michaels,

Possibly the best dual threat singer / wrestler ever.

 

[skol asylum]

Have a couple of really great albums but I didn't really follow them after that. Not in my top 50 but you do you and don't let others stomp on your love.

You didn't ask for it but in that genre, for me, the #1 band actually came a bit later than the originals and that's The Darkness. I freaking love that band.

I’ve always found him to be one of the cooler, most genuine lead singers of the genre. The band was kind of meh, but not like they were trying to be Yes or King Crimson for their artistic capabilities.

 

[BlackCrowes]

Top 50 band that have never been in my kitchen

Rounded up.

 

[TripItUp]

If you're going to do this, at least pick a controversial band like Rush or Steeley Dan.

Poison sucks.

They had to censor that album/cassette cover.

You have to suck out the poison to survive.

-Huge shoutout to Brett Michaels,

Let's not forget Chris Jericho and his work with Fozzy.

Wocka wocka

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm not always up to date on the wrestling world, but in addition to wrestler Bret Michaels, there was also a Sting and a Johnny Rotten.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

It was over as soon as CC DeVille was kicked out.

 

[SWC]

if the question is from a list of only the band poison is poison a top 50 band then maybe you can make an argument take that to the bank brochachos

 

[TripItUp]

Oh…. Now we’re slappin the base, are we?

Nah man, Rush still sucks.

 

[pollardsvision]

Poison is a top 50 Bell Biv DeVoe song

Um, with all due respect to Misters Bell, Biv, and DeVoe, the greatest "Poison" of all time belongs to Alice Cooper.

If I am cryogenically frozen and come back to life 500 years in the future, I'm pretty sure strippers will still be dancing to this song.

Bret Michaels played a free show in my white bread suburb a few years ago and could have mailed it in like most of the has-been acts that pour through each year. That guy got the whole crowd going within the first 15 minutes and played a great set of covers and Poison tunes with no lulls. I'm still not a Poison fan, but he is one of the better frontmen I've ever seen.

 

[zamboni]

Happened to drive through Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania today - origin of Poison.

Surprisingly no sign saying “Home of Poison - Top 50 band”

 

[titusbramble]

Poison might just be a top 50 Prodigy track

 

[DocHolliday]

Top 50 of fun bands to see live at best and I still listen to Poison occasionally. My taste in music is garbage though. They had a plan and stuck with it when there moved to LA. The best part of their shows in the 80s and 90s was the women. Goodness.

I can imagine.

Motley Crue was in a similar realm, and I remember the 13-year old me loving the video for Girls, Girls, Girls when that hit MTV.
