I like some Scorpions songs, but in general I find their sound to be without personality and too squeaky clean to have any real bite. And Klaus Meine's vocals are likewise too shiny and boring. They're what Judas Priest would be if they lost all of their edge to go for a purely stadium metal sound.

And Dokken somehow managed to refine the Scorpions' sound to make it even more nondescript and dull, almost bringing sanitized metal to an art form.
