Part of it is that I really became "musically aware" and started to develop tastes distinct from my Dad's (he was a hippy  ) in the 1983-1986 timeframe, about the same time that Whitesnake hit it big. I wanted to see the guitar/rock mags cover Dio, Twisted Sister, and the like and they were covering Whitesnake and Poison instead.
Add to that that Vivian Campbell was in Whitesnake and I can't stand Campbell.
I ****ing hated Whitesnake and by association, David Coverdale. |
I haven't listened to them in a while but I remember thinking that the early Whitesnake albums, before they hit it big, were pretty good.
Same with early Twisted Sister. "Under The Blade" is really good and I still listen to it. After "Stay Hungry", they turned into a joke ("Leader of the Pack" anyone?).
