11.Ratt-Round and Round
10.Dokken-Alone Again
9.Slaughter-Up All Night
8.Def Leppard-Photograph
7.Quiet Riot-Metal Health
6.Warrant-Cherry Pie
5.Cinderella-Nobody's Fool
4.Motley Crue-Looks That Kill
3.Bon Jovi-Lay Your Hands on Me
2.Twisted Sister-We're Not Gonna Take It
1.Poison-Talk Dirty to Me

If you ask me, this list is pretty good. Kiss at number 18 and the Scorpions at number 20 are brutal injustices, but that's more a tribute to the fact that they aren't really Hair Metal bands than anything else. They both astarted before the Hair Metal era and continued one after it and as far as I know are still going.

I personally think Cinderella, Bon Jovi, and Motley Crue are better than Poison, but oh well.

Hair metal sucks for the most part. Round and Round by Ratt is decent though.

[Come out and smash'em up!]

Hanoi Rocks!!!!!

Bon Jovi is awesome. It's good that they lasted longer than the genre.

[XYlophonetreeZ]

We're Not Gonna Take It is probably one of the ten worst songs of all time.

We're Not Gonna Take It is probably one of the ten worst songs of all time.
Maybe, BUT THAT VIDEO!

[Endymion]

kix should totally be higher. they were pretty awesome.

[Nineteen Seventy Nine]

I like Poison, Crüe, Kiss, and Quiet Riot. My favorite is Crüe. "Nothin' But A Good Time" by Poison was once the anthem of my group of friends. Quiet Riot's "Metal Health" is my current ringback tone. And Kiss... is just Kiss. Hair metal doesn't seem like it fits into all the other genres I like, but I listen to it a lot. I think Crüe and Kiss have the best songs, Poison is more greatest hits material, and Quiet Riot is one of those couple-hit-wonders.

Edit: Sorry, that paragraph was poorly put together.
