Tesla should not be on that list at all...That pisses me off!!!!!

The Crue should be #1 because they were the 1st 80's hair band & the most bad-ass of all!


My adopted troubled child is Weinie (if he's still around)....all problems with him should be addressed to me spitfire@opieanthony.com

And the fact that they somehow maintained a testosterone driven image throughout the 80's...

I've always hated the Hair Bands or any incarnation of a Glam/Image oriented band.... Music always came 1st for me.

Best 'hair band' of the 80's in my opinion, was American Angel.

Brownstone, that's where I got the list! Good to see there's a fellow Sludgeaholic on the board.

Holy crap!!! Poison #1. No effn way!!! Should have been Motley Crue hands down. I also never considered Night Ranger as a hair metal band.

American Angel was deemed best band that never made it out of Jersey. Rocco's got a new band called Trippin' On Dolls, they are pretty good.

NJ Dude - good to see you back! How're you feeling? I saw your FU thread; I feel for you bro!

I agree with you on Night Ranger, and I definitely agree with Spit on Tesla. What about the Scorpions? I was never a big fan, but I never thought of them as a "hair" band. Besides, all you have to do is look at Klaus. ;)

I forgot to thank you Brownstone for turning me on metal-sludge....they have the best interviews!

Yeah, I agree with you guys about the Scorpions...how can you have a "hair metal" band if the lead singer is bald LOL...I also never considered Great White hair metal either, but to each his own...

So by that logic Spit, we can eliminate Quiet Riot from the list too, although Kevin Dubrow did start wearing some kind of dead poodle on his head after a few years! :)
