Pick the best hair band of the 80's. This voting session ends on 2/2/02.

This was tough for me because I love all of these bands, but I went with Def Leppard. I was into them more than the other groups back in the 80's. They were the first band that really made me take notice of hard rock/metal music.

I voted for Def Leppard because I've liked them since I purchased their LP "Pyromania" back in '83.

I liked Motley Crue and Bon Jovi. I won't even say I could tolerate the others, but I voted for Def Leppard because they had staying power. They went through a lot of really hard living and still gave us the music. I enjoyed just about everything they put out and really thought Joe Elliot was a hottie.:naughty:

That's a tough vote....came down to Def Leppard and Motley Crue for me....so I went with Def Leppard. Overall there's just more tunes I like outta them than any of the others mentioned....

Def Leppard, just for the fact they had more good songs than the others.

Wow! I love this one! Too hard, though! I went with Def Leppard, I just loved them! I loved Bon jovi, too, which is what made this hard. :) But you picked some great choices!

I went for Bon Jovi, but I actually voted on the hair and not the music. I would have thought that Whitesnake might have made the poll, but that's just my humble opinion and not meant to be a criticism to the people who have put a lot of hard work into this.

Def Leppard was by far the best of these bands (IMO). I never really considered Def Leppard, a glam or a hair band, they were to me just an excellent hard rock band.

Your right there, Cal. ;)

My choice is Def Leppard.

I would have to go with Bon Jovi, like Recker reasoning, for the sheer reason that they had the best songs out of all these groups IMHO. :cool:

I just couldn't decide, so I went with Poison. I loved Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Def Leppard.....but I always fantasized very graphically about Brett!!!:wildthing

I voted for Bon Jovi. Living on a prayer is one of my favorite songs, so it was an easy choice. I am not a big rock fan, so my vote is not very fair to rock fans. I do not even know some of the other bands.

I'm going to be the odd ball and cast my vote for Cinderella, mainly 'cause they had a lot of great songs and their ballads had lyrics that were really moving and emotion stirring, at least for me.

I always liked Bon Jovi in the 80's and still do today so that's who I went with.

BonJovi was just too hot:licky: I had to vote for him. I loved his music then and now. He did have great hair, still does.

This was a hard question but I wound up going with Motley Crue. S.O.S. is my favorite song from all the groups in the poll.

POISON WAS THE BEST HAIRBAND OF THE 80'S !!!!

Everything about this band was done perfectly - their image, their music, and.. their hair (they had a lot more hair than Def Leppard ever did, LMAO).

Glam, glam, glam - Gotta Luv it.............


btw, VH1 also voted Poison as the #1 hairband of the 80s.. i'm sure some of you saw that show...with Dee Snider (who's looking like Christina Aguileira nowadays... LOL)
