Quiet Riot, baby.

Bang your head, wake the dead
We're all metal mad, it's all you have
So bang your head
And raise the dead, oh yeah
Metal health
It drives you mad, mad, mad, mad

I will go to that. I've seen Living Colour twice but never Extreme.

And the best hair band is Motley Crue. The only other acceptable answers are Quiet Riot and Ratt. These three bands started the whole 80's scene.

Cinderella - by far.
Cinderella and Tom are underrated, but I think the depth of catalogue is just not there. There top 5 are epic, but a BIG drop off after that.

Disagree. I don’t think I’ve ever skipped a song on Night Songs or Long Cold Winter.

To me it is Motley Crue...

That being said, bands not mentioned I could see that I liked

Warrant - saw them last year randomly..fun concert
WASP - Lawless has so much talent
Vixen - fun band...

But my number 2 behind Crue is Tesla...but not sure 100% hair metal even though my young self considers them that as I saw them open for Def Leppard
