Bang Camaro
The best band of all-time, Boston's Bang Camaro is an electrified war party of vocal rogues, guitar warlocks, and one bad-ass bass barbarian.
Cinderella
Keifer's voice is among the singularly unique of the late 1980s. If you heard it, you knew right away you were listening to Cinderella.
Def Leppard
Rock & Roll inductees from Sheffield, UK. One of the best to ever do it. In contention for best hair metal band ever. Just a magnificent band with righteous tunes. Death and a one-armed drummer couldn't stop them. Think about that.
Extreme
Boston's own, Extreme, were purveyors of the decadence dance. The classic lineup consists of Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Patrick Badger, and Paul Geary.
FireHouse
Don't treat FireHouse bad. Or us, for that matter, for discussing their handful of hit tunes.
Lion
Lion appears on as many soundtracks as they have album/ep releases. This was only possible in the 80s ... I think
Skid Row
Standard story of some boys from Jersey forming a Hair Metal band and bringing glory, power and ridiculously high vocals to the crowds every night.
Trixter
Paramus, New Jersey's own, Trixter. Trixter brought flannel to glam metal, making it not as glam. Or as metal.
Ugly Kid Joe
Sporting original hits like Neighbor and Everything About You, and a near chart topping version of Cats in the Cradle, Ugly Kid Joe gained a fair share of popularity in the early 90s.
Van Halen
The kings of the sunset strip. Van Halen isn't reallllly a hair metal band, but whatever, they fit the genre they pretty much created.
Warrant
Warrant had 5-6 solid hits, including the power ballad Heaven, the nuanced blues heavy Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the arena rock anthem, Cherry Pie.
