I'm not too keen on most hair bands - in my opinion, the only band from that scene in which every member was significantly talented is Queensryche. But there are some other good musicians scattered amongst the other bands - I'll second George Lynch, he's great; like him or not, Jon Bon Jovi (and Ritchie Sambora is a pretty damn good guitarist as well); the drummer from Journey (can't remember his name) is great, too.
