My Take
What I admire about Tom Keifer is that he never coasted on the glam-metal aesthetic alone. That raspy, skyscraping voice is genuinely divisive, but I find it unforgettable precisely because it sounds lived-in, like blues bleeding through a hairspray-era package. As Cinderella's frontman he wrote, sang, and played, a triple threat at a time when image often outran substance. Decades on, still touring out of Pennsylvania, he reads to me less as a nostalgia act and more as a craftsman who outlasted the trend that birthed him. I rank him among the era's most underrated vocalists, and I think history will be kind.
