Tygers of Pan Tang's "The Cage" isn't metal

First Post March 23, 2023 03:13 PM

Tygers of Pan Tang's 1982 album The Cage contains little metal and is virtually AOR, being as heavy as Foreigner or Journey. Consequently it should be moved from The Guardians to non-metal.

I completely agree with your assessment here Sonny. "The Cage" is simply a hard rock record as far as I can see & not a very good one either it has to be said. It should never have been drawn in under the NWOBHM banner in the first place in my opinion.

This nomination has been posted in the Hall of Judgement.

Quoted Daniel

No it isn't a very good record at all. I really dislike AOR and this has all the hallmarks of that excremental genre. In fact, thinking about it again has pissed me off so much I have had to go back and dock it another half a point!
