Well we finally found out what he wouldn’t do for love
When I heard that Meatloaf passed, I recalled the following report from 2019 (pre-Covid), which talks about Meatloaf's stroke. The pictures don't show a healthy man.

So I listened to Bat Out of Hell and Back into Hell tonight.
Good gosh almighty those albums are ridiculous. I love every second of both of them.
They're so big. Loud. Boisterous. Bombastic. And don't apologize for it for a millisecond.
So it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night. Paradise by the dash. Board. Light.

I take it you weren't a fan of "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy" either. What's wrong with you, man!
Appetite was released in 1987 and I would say that it was pretty mainstream. The Use Your Illusions were released in 1991 and although they released singles for years of of them, those were the last meaningful albums by Guns for the vast majority of people.
Now I'm getting it this way..I agree. G&R and Nirvana are 80's bands. A good comparison..ZZ Top got huge in the 80's, but had been around forever. I wouldn't consider them an 80's band. More like the Stones in the 80's. 60's bands that were still cranking out some good music. Something that shouldn't be dismissed about the 80's. A lot of older bands were still putting out music. The decade had about everything in music if you wanted it. 80's-90's were the best time for music in my opinion. The concert scene was way better! Never saw Meatloaf, but I wish I had
GnR is an 80s band. Appetite was a massive album that sold a ton in the 80s. People bought use your illusion because of Appetite.
Nirvana is a 90s band. People bought Bleach in the 90s because of Nevermind. Anybody that claims they bought bleach or were Nirvana fans in the 80s are almost completely full of ****.
I saw GNR open for Aerosmith when I was 16 so that would be 87 or 88. Their album exploded so much that they weren’t opening too long. They came to prominence in the 80s. Nirvana I would put as a 90s.
Although when looking at music, time periods are more relevant. Early 80s was much different than later 80s and 87-93 were kind of a group. Dance and hip hop started coming alive then as hair rock/grunge faded some. Rap in a more current style started coming of age in the mid to later 90s IIRC

Considering the state of the charts now... guess that hasn't changed since at least the 1960s.
I'm a big Meat Puppets fan so I was listening. Listening to Soundgarden way before Badmotorfinger too
Maybe, but Bleach was released in June of 89. Prior to Nevermimd’s release in Sept 1991 Bleach sold 40,000 copies. 99% of Bleach sales were after Nevermind. They are totally a 90s band.
I was listening to "Love Buzz" way before Bleach was released in 1989. This is interesting. What decade would you consider the Chili Pepper's? They didn't realease a successful album til 91
