And Kiss? Pop metal?

70s: hard rock with some glam rock and occasional pop rock
80s: hard rock + glam metal (which they helped spawn)

to some varying extents though like Creatures of the Night being a full-fledged heavy metal album and them getting really poppy in the late 70s

so basically just hard rock their whole career while wading in and out of a few other styles on top of that

probably Alive! tbh

for studio albums Creatures of the Night then the debut followed by a bunch of other albums tied at like a 7/10

been trying to figure out which Clube songs you considered borderline spiritual experiences and this has gotta be one of them right?

@HeyFella

yeah maybe along with

Dos cruces
Um girassol da côr de seu cabelo

Lo Borges' more rock/western pop influenced songs on there might be the bigger bangers lowkey but Milton's were channeling that mysticism more mosterpiece.

Milton got plenty more spiritual stunners where those came from too. great album ahead for 1973

That album has become famous online like over night. It’s weird. I don’t use RYM, but I guess it’s in like the Top 50 on there now.

its always good to see people appreciating the big classics of non-anglo countries more but there's kind of an annoying phenomenon I notice in these cases where one album from an artist gets all the attention and then nothing else. that album's got 15k ratings on rym but Milton's other main albums dont even crack 3k ratings. it kinda feels like people just checking a box sometimes
