Overkill
Helloween
Kix

Oh god i cant stop...lol


First of all.......................

WASP- Ahead of there time? Yup, they were. But then again, it is Blackie who went to war with the PMRC. I know most remember Dee Snyder and his testimony before Gore and company, but Blackie and WASP were one of the first targets of the PMRC. And it only made Blackie become wilder. In fact, I believe because of him and what he stood for paved the way for many bands and singers today. I feel Reznor, and Manson and other controversial acts owe alot to Blackie. The guy just stood tall for what he believed. Anyways, WASP was one hell of a band. Loved Blind In Texas and I Wanna Be Somebody. Favorite album has to be Headless Children. Had a real message to it.

Enuff Z Nuff- Was there any other hair band that wore more makeup than Poison? Yup...and it was these guys, lol. New Thing was a good song too.

Whitesnake- Coverdale was a Plant clone, but man this band rocked. Still of the Night is one of the greatest rock tunes ever. Here I Go Again is awesome too.

Poison- Loved there music. This band, along with Crue were the epitomy of sleeze...lmao.

Britney Fox- Cinderella clones, but man, Long Way To Love is just an awesome tune. Can't forget Girlschool either.

Cinderella- I feel this band was the most underrated band of there time. Tom Keifer was an absolute awesome musician, and this band mixed blues with rock like no other. Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone is one of the best ballads of all time. Gypsy Road is a kick ass tune as well.

Dokken- If there was ever a guitarist who never got his due, it was George Lynch of Dokken. Dude is one of the best guitaists I have ever heard. And Don Dokken's voice was just killer.

Slaughter- Up Al Night is one of the best songs to be played at a strip club. I mean. Watch a stripper dance to it. It is mesmerizing. Lol!

Def Leppard- Most successful hair band of the 80's. Who doesn't love Pour Some Sugar On Me? Lol.

Bad English- Okay. We all had a bf or gf and we would all request When I see you smile...right? RIGHT? Lol.

SteelHeart- Had one hit, but boy you remember dudes voice when he sang "I'll Never Let You Go".

Stryper- Okay. So they are Christian rockers. Who cares? Dudes had some great music. Michael Sweet hit the high notes like none other. Awesome band.

Living Colour- Loved that four black men showed the world that black people could rock out as well. Cult Of Personality is a classic song with a great message.

Type O's style is just different. I mean, when you hear a song begin, there style is noticeable. Once Steele's voice hits, you know you are listening to Type O. They can play fast or slow in the same song and they make it sound so freaking good. Steele, like Maynard of Tool and APC and Mann of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult has one of those voices that is just not like any other. I love the pain he has in his voice on Everything Dies. Great song. I also loved there cover of Summer Breeze. Sounds so wicked with the guitar track at the beginning. :wink:
