Gotta go with Dokken on this.
And I have a very good knowledge of the genre.
Change my mind...

RATT

Round & Round was the big hit but their body of work from start to finish holds up in that genre. If I did a RATT Top 20, Round & Round probably would be around 15 or so. I love Dokken. They would probably be my #2.

Dokken had a great run with:

Tooth and Nail
Under Lock and Key
Back for the Attack



They fell off after that but that was probably the highest quality of hair/glam metal right there.

Awesome, underrated band! Had a great run in the early 80’s with Earthshaker, Black Tiger, and Mean Streak. Dave Meniketti was/is an amazing singer and lead guitarist.

No.

I don't see how anyone doesn't say Poison and Bon Jovi just offhand. (Sort of even if you don't like them.)

But:

White Lion
Europe

I don't know if Scorpions fits in your category, but if so, it's actually probably them.

Sure, that's great and all. But no.

No, Y & T is not in the pantheon of all-time metal bands.

Yeah, because that’s what I said in my post. Quit being a jackass for a second.

Dokken is a solid choice. Lynch is super talented.

LA Guns, Skid Row, Ratt

Bon Jism, Cinderella
