I wouldn't call any of them HAIR bands. You're talking legit metal there.

To me, hair bands (which could be defined as pop metal) were groups like Poison, Striper, Winger, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Motley Crue, Night Rider.

I pretty much lived on that stuff.:D Those were the days when MTV rocked.

Wasn't White Lion the one that did a remake of the Ian Hunter song, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy?" I loved both versions of that one.
