Vixen Albums Ranked And Complete Discography

Prev Article Next Article

Our Vixen albums ranked list presents This Complete List Of Vixen Albums And Songs including their entire discography of studio albums. Vixen was first formed in the 1980s. Their sound was based heavily on the 80s big hair glam band sound. Unlike most of the glam bands that were formed on either the West of East Coasts of the United State in the 1980s, Vixen came out of the cold city of Saint Paul, Minnesota. And of course, the band consisted of all female musicians. They weren’t the first all female band in rock history but they were one of the only all female glam metal bands as there weren’t many of them that consisted of just females.

We will only be ranking the great Vixen studio albums. However we will also include every single Vixen live album. All these female glam metal Vixen albums have been presented below with all original release dates with each Vixen album as well as all original album covers. Every album listed below showcases the entire album track listing.
