I'm downloading songs for a 80's metal CD. I got Cinderella, White Lion, Europe, Autogragh, Asia, Poison, Trixter, White Lion, Enuff z' Nuff and Ratt. Am I missing anyone? I'm giving everyone one free pass to give one suggestion. After that, you're an official lover of butt rock.
And before anyone makes any accusations, Yeah, So What? I like the butt rock! Screw you...
Wow, dude. We've categorized some of these bands a bit differently. If you're looking for something that's--as you say--less "gay," how can you allow Cinderella and Poison on your list? While a rock radio DJ in the 80s, I once interviewed Ricky Rockett of Poison. Really nice guy. Almost too nice, if you know what I mean. (Seinfeld moment: "Not that there's anything wrong with that.")
With an exception of Metallica, a truly talented band that does not deserve to be listed with 80's metal/hair bands, I feel this way about 80's Metal.
Queensryche...damn. Silent Lucidity was a good tune. That and Jet City Woman.
Ricky Rocket? I saw them in Hartford CT summer '99. That was a year after the Billy Joel debacle. Who burns down an outdoor stadium after a Billy Joel concert? People in Connecticut do.
As far as Ricky being a really 'nice guy'? I suppose after you've had any female tail under the sun, one might want to try something new. But I'm a long way away from that state of mind.
