    1. It's simply hard rock music from the 80s & 90s with a lot of guitars and most of the band members had really long hair. And probably wore more makeup than the women. :)

  3. What, no Cum On Feel the Noize? Or are you saving that for "Q?"

    Oddly, now that I think about it, unlike most A-to-Z challenges, hair metal gives you a few options for "Q."

    C is for The Toronto Circus Riot of 1855

  4. STRYPER. Oh my God, I was OBSESSED with Stryper. I had all their albums (on cassette!) and pictures of them all over my walls. Now I need to go to YouTube...

    1. They pride themselves on being Christian so it's not the stereotypical heavy metal!

    1. I wasn't a huge fan of Billy Idol, but he did have a few songs I like. I hear Winger a lot on the radio station I listen to (got to love the XM!) but it really took me back to watch the videos!

  9. Oh, Kip Winger... What a tasty little morsel of a man... Ah, but I digress. I remember that song, along with Cradle of Love. The Stryper song sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure.
