By the time the 80s rolled around, Paul Stanley was tired of hiding his gayness, he let it all out in the 80s.

Even as ridiculous as we looked/dressed back then, the 80's were great.

I'm glad I was a teenager then and not today.

I'm sure I have this song ranked way low according to fellow HAIR nerds, but lets call it like it is. 

I like Poison. Poison played a huge part in the 80s HAIR movement. Poison is also a bubblegum pusssy band. That said, their #1 ballad deserves a spot on the countdown. 

98. Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn

For what they were. Poison had to be up there with Motley Crue when it came to scoring puzzy

Without a doubt. BM is probably in Wilt Chamberlin territory.

These guys are one of the most overlooked/underrated HAIR bands of the 80s and I can't figure out why. This song is great for grabbing a 12 pack and going for a summer cruise with the windows down. 

96. Krokus - Screaming In The Night

Some people are beer snobs, others are porn snobs, I am a HAIR snob. This next band will show up multiple times in this countdown and while this is their most famous/recognizable hit, and while I also appreciate it, it is bubblegum trash. 

95. Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me

Agreed, but as far as music goes, High and Dry album kicked the shitt out of their later stuff that MTV spooged over.

We will proceed to get the bubblegum out of the way as we travel down the road to a real man's list of great HAIR. 

Great song when shittfaced at the titttybar after you've just snorted a ginormous gagger. 

94. Warrant - Cherry Pie

This alone should have this song higher I think.

If you do not like HAIR band videos shot in a junkyard, in the desert, with barrel trash cans on fire, you are not my friend.

This song makes me wish I was 20 years younger and going on spring break with a pocket full of rubbers and trunk full of Busch Light.

You won't find this one celebrated by very many people, but it was always one of my favorite cheese tracks by the New Jersey bandit.

Here is another group that will make multiple appearances on the greatest countdown to ever be counted. As with a few choices above, I'm sure some will feel this is way too low, but when it comes to great HAIR, most of the best songs are B sides and the ones not played on the radio. This one got played a little too much over time, but is still a kickass song. 

89. Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

I want to avoid spoilers, but that song isn't going to make the list at all.

Yet another band that will be making multiple appearances. This song gets played on the radio/jukebox the most and is a great song, but not their best. 

88. Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane

This is just one example of the "Decade / Genre" point ( My angle )  I'm posting here. This is on your list but it's probably about #100 down the list of Alice Coopers greatest songs. Sure it was a hit, but it pretty much sucks compared to his / their 70's stuff. 

 

BUT HEY........this is YOUR LIST, and I love that you're honest about that, kudos!  :thumbsup:

I have went back and forth on these guys numerous times the last 20 years in trying to decide if they belong in the HAIR category or if they are just good old fashioned rock n roll. As of today, I am going to call them HAIR and include them in the countdown. This is one of the few albums ever produced where every track was a home run. Coming in next....

87. Guns N' Roses - My Michelle

I am prepared for the hate I will get on this one and the comments that it should be much higher, but it's in that bubblegum category. 

86. Van Halen - Jump

It might have been bubblegum trash, but this song was sure a panty dropper...
