NoBonus, you picked the wrong hair metal band. Skid Row was closer to the right pick, but...
anyway, I digress.
Love Skid Row. Sebastian Bach can belt it like no other, and their music was hard hitting. Tough to put them in "Hair Metal", but there they were.
Poison? They're fun. Their music is fun, and Brett Michaels should have stopped before his reality TV whoring soured my opinion of the band. In full disclosure, I do have every Poison album made, courtesy of Columbia Records "Buy 10 albums for a Penny". I won't tell you what the other bands were, as they have yet to be picked.
this draft has slowed to a crawl. It's gonna be a full week or more between my last two picks and my next two.
I am not sure how, but I think Phil Jackson has something to do with this.
Bright Eyes
I learned to loathe Conor Oberst a few years back, when some of my female friends started fawning over everything he did and my "does he do anything else but whine?" criticism earned me nothing but evil eyes. The feeling has subsided, now that I'm not around these girls anymore and I've even warmed up to a few of his songs. Road To Joy, particularly.

I'm selecting my next music artists for their earlier stuff again. I love a lot of their songs.

And now Don't Look Back in Anger will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Stryper! While all you "heathens" were listening to your "devil worship" music, I was listening to them..and the others...lol
More later.

"It wasn't until the group changed its name to Stryper (which stood for "Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement, and Righteousness") that things really began taking off for the quartet. Specializing in the melodic Van Halen/Def Leppard style (with heart-wrenching power ballads tossed in), dressed in all black-and-yellow outfits, and spreading their religious message even further by tossing bibles out into the crowd at their shows, Stryper were signed by the Enigma label in 1984."

Well, it could be worse. There's some crap on that album, too. Just reheard it and am currently trying to get rid of She's Electric.
By the way:
These gals have just been sitting around waiting to get picked for a while now, and I can’t let them slip any farther: Heart.

Ann Wilson can belt one out with the best of them. Nancy Wilson is a simply amazing guitarist. And together, they put out a solid string of radio hits between about 1976-1990. Not only that, but every live performance I've ever heard has basically rocked the house - they weren't just a studio-tuned marvel. What more could you ask for in the 13th round?
Years active: 1973-present
Catalog: 13 studio albums (~9h40m), 5 live albums (6h24m)
Landmark songs: Crazy On You, Magic Man, Barracuda, What About Love, These Dreams
Song I keep coming back to:
Well, I was NEVER into any of the hair bands... just not my thing. So I will not be adding to that run. Instead, I will be adding to my list a guy I stumbled upon on VH1 back in 1999. I loved his music the moment I heard it and love it even more today. IMO, one of the best artists to listen to while driving late night in a big city.
