No heavy metal, just hard rock albums!

This "rule" means different things to different people, and the line between is so fuzzy and subjective that it really doesn't have much meaning.  That said, here's my take based on what I would consider "hard rock":

1.  Pyromania (Def Leppard)
2.  Black Tiger (Y&T)
3.  The Great Radio Controversy (Tesla)
4.  Love at First Sting (Scorpions)
5.  In Rock We Trust (Y&T)
6.  Whitesnake (Whitesnake)
7.  Skid Row (Skid Row)
8.  5150 (Van Halen)
9.  Dusk (Badlands)
10.  Triumph and Agony (Warlock)

My parents made me watch Hee-Haw when i was a kid, this WAS "hard rock" in my house.

[TAC]

Pretty sure Hee Haw is heavier than Hysteria.

[The Walrus]

Yeah, but at least panties will be dropping 30 seconds into Hysteria.

[TAC]

Yeah, but at least panties will be dropping 30 seconds into Hysteria.

But if they're Indiscipline's panties, that's probably not a good thing.
