I don't really count them as a "hair band" because they were a front runner in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and their first album On Through the Night and to a lesser degree High n Dry were important parts of the development of that movement(they were also great albums).

I totally agree. Their first 2 albums are awesome! Pyromania is also pretty good, but after that its all downhill.

I´ve always liked EXTREME, I think Nuno Betencourt is one of the best guitar players ever, and please don´t think the reason why is More Than Words. Some other bands I do not dislike are Skid Row, White Snake and Guns.
I hate Bon Jovi, Poison, Cinderella, Def Leppard and a lot more that would even be a waste of time to remember. |

Oh yes, now those were the days! How I miss bleeding eardrums and going to gigs in skin tight snow washed jeans with a sleeveless rising sun T-shirt! 
Their singer spat Champagne in my face Dont think he meant to...

Whitesnake, Guns N Roses, Cinderella, Dokken, Def Leppard ('til "Retro-Active"), Mötley Crüe, Lizzy Borden, Tesla, Hanoi Rocks - all awesome - let the hairspray raise! 
Well, POISON is a band I absolutely can't stand

Nope, don't like any of them. I grew up in the 80's and all they played were songs like "Were Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister. I'm so glad the hair metal phase is over, but to tell you the truth I would rather listen to hair metal than the crap they play on the radio today!
