10 Perfect Metal Albums With Only One Bad Song

10. Toast Of The Town - Motley Crue

When looking at the first few Motley Crue records, it's tough to even nail down the track listing of Too Fast for Love.

Since the whole thing went through development hell and practically sounded like a demo, it's a miracle that the street level energy stayed intact, with some of the best Crue songs still finding their way onto the record. When you look back on the bonus tracks though, it makes sense why Toast of the Town didn't make the cut.

That's not to say it's even the bottom of the barrel necessarily. For as silly as the hair metal movement eventually got, this is actually not that bad of a track, with Mick Mars showing some more of his guitar skills and the song having a catchy vibe to it. That might be the song's biggest flaw though as well...it might be a bit too chipper for its own good.

As much as the Crue were known for their freewheeling party vibe most of the time, there is virtually no danger to speak of on here, feeling much closer to a B-side from a band like Cheap Trick than something that came from the grimier side of Sunset. This kind of song may have been up to snuff with the right amount of polish, but in this state, you would have never guessed that these were the guys who would release Shout at the Devil just a few years later.
