Bon Jovi used to be my favourite band and I wasn't even born until 1987.

2 Bon Jovi options ... and none for Guns'N'Roses, Def Leppard and Whitesnake eh?

The music that the above bands(and bands like them),made in the 80's.

Back then it was just "metal",but they call it "hair metal" now.That name alludes to the mile-high hair and tons of hairspray these guys wore.

It could have just as easily been called "spandex metal".

Not quite...or not at all. The Progtologist's view seems to be more accurate, but actually hair metal pretty much falls in what one would label "80s metal", since that was the mainstream source, baring an axiomatic appearance of tresses' almost-disturbing length.

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

poison has a couple sweet tunes, I like Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" album its really good.  Livin' On a Prayer is a good song.  Guns and Roses could probably be called hair metal, I like a couple of their songs.

I admit that is a damn good album.

Me and my wife saw them on that tour with Winger and Bulletboys opening and they put on a great show.

I thought, even then that they were all dreadful!

Although, I did see Bon Jovi live once, in the 80's and they were very good..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
