A more ‘cheerful’ alternative to previous metal music, the release of the Permission to Land album by The Darkness could not have been better timed. In ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’ the band flawlessly combined solid rock influences with a sense of humour and slinky catsuits. With an opening riff which begins as a whisper and explodes into an energetic and invigorating beast of a tune, this song gave glam metal a whole new name.

Mötley Crüe were one of the biggest bands of the 1980s, and were slightly older than Guns N’ Roses who had emerged onto the international scene a couple of years earlier.  ‘Dr. Feelgood’, taken from the album of the same name, has a funky ascending riff played by guitarist Mick Mars with great dexterity.
