[CRcyclone6]

this is my kind of thread. some of my faves:
Kiss is all-time #1. like the article said, not quite a hair band, but #1 in my book. others are:
-Whitesnake, Ratt, Poison, Warrant, Bullet Boys, Europe, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Firehouse, Trixter, Kix, Quiet Riot, Britny Fox, Dokken (new CD out May 13), Grim Reaper, L.A. Guns, Def Leppard, White Lion, Skid Row, I could go all night.

Kiss -

Destroyer was a great album

KISS just released another greatest hits type album last Tuesday. It's a 3 CD deal. $18 bucks at Walmart. Very similar to their other "greatest" albums, but as a fan, you should have it.

Pretty good list.

Poision, Skid Row, Scorpions, Cinderella would be my favorites.

 

[Wx4Cy]

Dokken...Winger...then it's a toss-up between Warrant, Cinderella and Slaughter. Leppard is not a hair band...neither is Queensryche. Awesome...but not hair bands.

What about bands like Helix, Kix, Krokus, Keel, etc. who preceded the "hair" bands?

They ALL suck, every single one of them.

Very surprised that Poison and Skid Row were not included.

What about Metallica? They used to have a lot of hair. AC/DC should be in there too, but perhaps they're too pure heavy metal to be a "hair band".

Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Def Lepard, Aerosmith, Poison were always some of my favorite.

Some Metallica fans would have destroyed things if they were dubbed as a glam band.

 

[superdorf]

For me it has to be Poison. When I was in 8th grade "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" was the song of the year.

 

[isuagr]

POISON!

They definately should have been on the list.

There are some cool songs on the album. I was shocked to see some Carnival of Souls on there, a very UNDERRATED album.

I am now in love with you. I hope you're female.

Die yuppie scum:skeptical:

Metallica is NOT a hair metal band. Poison sucks cow bowl movements.

Metallica is NOT a hair metal band. Poison sucks cow bowl movements.

The last good Metallica album was ...And Justice For All.

 

[1100011CS]

The last good Metallica album was ...And Justice For All.

Agreed. But they have never and still aren't a hair metal band.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Any list of top anything that contains Winger is automatically invalid.
A majority of those bands aren't even hair bands. Kiss? Aerosmith? Ozzy? The New York Dolls?
