Take your pick out of these What was the number 1

[latverian41]

Hair band of the 80s

Motley crue
Def leapord
Bon Jovi
Poison
Whitesnake

If anyone says van Halen I hope a mod bans them they were not a hair band.

Anyways

Take your pick or throw one in

Def Leppard. The album Hysteria in and if itself chits all over anything the rest of the bands on that list have made, imo.

I'm with you on Van Halen for sure, though. Can't stand the vocals all the trademark screeching of high pitched "oo's!" and "ah's!" completely ruin them for me.

I love van Halen. I was putting then on a shelf above the hair bands at least with diamond Dave.

They were in a class all by themselves

But I for sure love 80s glam rock. As they call it today

Def leapord or whitesnake takes the junber 1 spot. At least to me

[capowt]

Van Halen

[jimbob007]

The Bangles.

[ComradeLenin]

Gonna throw a curveball out here. A band that was phenomenal but no one seems to care about anymore.

That's right.


I am talking about Dokken.

[latverian41]

The Bangles.

For sure.

It's not Monday though brother.

I wouldn't consider Crüe to be in the same genre as the rest

You must have not grown up in the 89s

[Cleveland33]

Crue was borderline metal, the rest were just rock bands

Motely cruel was borderline metal? OK?

They sure got a lot of radio time for borderline metal

[Cleveland33]

[Cleveland33]

Since when did mainstream metal from the 1980's didn't get some radio air time? Not as much as more traditional rock nands, but they did get air time.

My boi. Out of the list OP provided I would have chosen Motley Crue and Whitesnake.



But Dokken are the GOAT. George Lynch is a class of his own on the guitar. Just love Dokken's sound. Even Don Dokken's solo stuff is good.

In the 80s even the hard rock stations never played iron maintenance. Or did or slayer. .

Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath - all got airplay in the 80s and 90s in Cleveland

Jackyl….although they may have started up early 90’s.

Crue & Poison were the biggest 2, my favorite was probably motley crue, but also loved Ratt.
