The 100 Greatest Hair Metal Songs
80Photograph by DEF LEPPARD
What's a 'Hair Metal' song? Hair Metal is a genre of music inhabited by 1980s glam rock stars who spend as much or more time on hair & make-up than on writing their music. While being labeled a hair band definitely has negative connotations, obviously some are more talented than others.

good list and with Peter on the whole Kiss thing. What wasn't to love?
have to say, "sweet child of mine"... massive overplay. every time I hear it now I want to buy a set of Billy Mayz Mighty Ear Plugz off an infomercial. :(
Yeah, I know. I could do without the first half myself. However that guitar solo by Slash is really truly amazing and the song rides out perfectly from there. "Where do we go now?" Indeed.
Now you're talking- Hair Metal rocks! I LOVE your #1 song pick. Runnin' With the Devil is my absolutely favorite Van Halen song! Photograph is another favorite song.
Oh my gosh, do Angela Harris and DJ Funktual agree? Someone check out the window to see if the pigs are flying yet. ;-)
Just kidding, DJ Funktual. You know I love ya! Aerosmith and Def Leppard- fantastic bands. Love your list, and agree, mostly.
Finnaly, a list with Down boys!! But I still say we need some Uncle Toms Cabin. I was only twelve when Cherry Pie came out. And Cabin always seemed the better song. Even to a tewlve year old skater punk. Thank you for omitting Crappie pie!!
Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich was the only album I had.
That Cherry Pie & Uncle Tom's Cabin stuff was just...well how much worse could they be? It's WARRANT for chrissakes.
