The hair, man, the hair...!...!...!

Hair metal in the 1980's had an interesting dynamic. It included the early soft metal bands (REO Speedwagon, Night Ranger), the mid 80's LA-style Hair bands (Guns 'n' Roses, Motley Crue, Ratt, Lita Ford, Twisted Sister), leftover 70's legends (Journey, Van Halen), softer, ballad-oriented entries (Poison), and the mishmash of White Lion/White Snake/Europe that nobody could really tell apart without directly seeing Tawny Kitaen in the video.

Enjoy today's survey, folks, and we'll be back next week with another installment of the 80's.
