Got through most of them.....what a fun ride!  Some good memories, and several new things, which I was hoping for.  For stuff that I didn't already know well that you and Tulip posted, it broke down like this:

Didn't know the band or the song
Y&T--Summertime Girls
Firehouse--Don't Treat Me Bad
Britny Fox--Girlschool (fake drum stick flipping)

Know the band but not the song
White Lion--Wait
Whitesnake--Still of the Night
Sammy Hagar--I'll Fall In Love Again
Ratt--Wanted Man
Dokken--In My Dreams

Know the song but not the band
Autograph--Turn Up the Radio


The others I knew, but enjoyed anyway :)

Man we haven't even gotten into what I call the "er" hair metal bands.  Slaughter, Winger, Trixter.

Nor have we really explored one of my favorite aspects of the genre-- the Power Ballad.

(Last one not quite a power ballad but it's a rock love song so there you go)

Power ballads are awesome.  Girls liked to dance real close during those.

I also think there's a category of "hair metal adjacent" music.

It's rock music that was contemporary in the 80s but it's not as glam as hair metal. Fairly heavy use of synth like the later glam bands, lots of guitar driven melody, but somehow it's not "pure glam."

I'm really not sure exactly how to classsify it but the bands that fit in there for me are folks like Loverboy and Honeymoon Suite and maybe Night Ranger.

I'd put Van Halen in there too.  At least some of Loverboy's stuff is similar, with the heavy synths and all.  I think you previously mentioned that VH doesn't necessarily strictly fit the hair metal label, however, both they and Loverboy comfortably fit in on any hair metal playlist.

Yeah I like the way you stated that,  you could definitely put Van Halen into that "adjacent" group.

They're sort of the proto-hair-metal band.

And even before them, there were the guys who "discovered" Van Halen, leading the way toward this new subgenre but never really belonging to it.

As you wish:

So the girl and her stepsisters from Cinderella's "Shake Me" video, well, it didn't work out:
(actually I could do an entire thread on Cinderella's power ballads)

I was abut to tee up that Kix tune, you beat me to it. :)


So I will respond by offering up another Kix tune instead.  For those who like a slappy bass line, here ya go.
