Good point, forgot to add Cinderella in the mix. Slaughter comes to mind as well as 38 special, The Cars. Man, now that I've had some time to think about there are several greats in that era, Rush, there another one. LOL
Jefferson Airplane/Starship. Hell....ELO would even fit the bill.

With so many of the bands from that era starting a "battle of the Monster Ballads" so to speak, a few gems came from the competition.
Like the arpeggios George Lynch played in Dokken's "Alone Again". Even in a ballad, Lynch really is "Mr. Scary".
Or Reb Beech ripping and Winger's vocals in "Headed for a Heartbreak" and the inspirational bands with the motivational (Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" style) songs, like Joey Tempest's vocals in Europe's "The Final Countdown".
And who can forget the incredible talents of Vito Bratta's work in White Lion's "When the Children Cry" to name a few.

I just got a pretty representative hairmetal band, maybe not so hot but they had some pretty rocking songs

SLAUGHTER...

Hell yeah... fly to the angels, up all night, damn I'm getting old. :(

Blas Elias the drummer had some chops and the bass player looked like Fabio but the frontman (a guy whose last name supposed to be Slaughter) had a really rocking voice for hairmetal.

Does anyone remember or should I check in a retirment facility? :confused:

Yeah something about her I always thought was "kinda" hot too. BUT....In a way she seems kinda trashy too. Kinda the saying about riding a scooter...."they are fun to ride, but you dont want your friends to see you on it."

If you like the good looking version of Tawny Kitaen, check out a movie called Witchboard... she is seriously hot!
Unfortunately, as with most 80's rockers, she didnt realy age like a fine wine, more like an old cheese... :(
