Firehouse: the death knell for hair bands. I'll cut you some slack though, since you were probably in your early teens.

Def Leppard does not meet your criteria. They didn't have the hair. They didn't have the make-up or the fashion (unless you call that British Flag shirt fashion). There was nothing Glam about the Lep. To even mention them in the same sentence as Poison is sacrilege.

Ok, I'll take that band out of the hair band group and put it in it's own category:

"Bands that are a crime against humanity."

How's that?

Oh, I didn't say I liked Firehouse, it was awful stuff. But totally the makeout song of the year.

How about anything by Rush? That lead singer has to be gay with a voice like that.

Oh I like Beth. Great song.

1983's "Pyromania" was one of the most solid rock albums of the 1980's. It is still listenable today.

Plus they had that whole one-armed drummer going for them in the later years. You'll stay semi-popular based on the ADA alone.

I see we'll have to agree to disagree, as I've never heard a song by this band that I liked.

Any song by Ratt

I'd also like to second the nomination of Turbo Lover by Judas Priest

Beat It by Michael Jackson (Eddie Van Halen guitar solo)
