Greatest Hair Metal Bands (September 2014)
This is a list of the biggest hair metal bands of the eighties and early nineties. It is a much maligned genre. Many seem to really hate it. I can understand why to an extent, but I still love the music and the bands. Say what you will, they were larger than life rock stars. They lived the lifestyle, wore the clothes and had parties. The music associated with neon, hair spray and the Sunset Strip. In away it was silly and over the top, but it was also fun and exciting. Let's face it, there really is no music in the past 15 years that comes anywhere close.
There are other bands that I did not count as in the genre but others may are; Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Kiss, Aerosmith and Ozzy Osborne. They all transcend the genre and straddle genres as well.
