Not a big fan of the glam hair metal of this era. There were some great rock bands that were overshadowed by talentless pretty boy metal bands. Here are some good bands of this era.
August Campell Spur of the Moment Band - I-95 Song (Some websites say it is by Jimmy Buffet. Not a hair band, but a country classic from 1980's. Lyrics not suitable...for reference to a body part )
I was lucky enough to live close to Alpine Valley, WI in the 1980s. Saw some really good concerts - today's acts couldn't touch what was done in the 70's and 80's...
Wow, alot of good music has been posted here. Funny how today's music has to have a syncronized dance team to go with the lip-synced singer or it won't sell.
Here's one of my hair-band favorite songs: Giuffria-Call to the heart.
