Now think back to the 80's......and what do you think the most popular song from this genre was??

I know Ratt where the best Hair Metal band.....geezz that goes without saying , but i cannot be biased!!.

I honestly reckon the most played Hair metal song would have to be " Final Countdown" by Europe.....and why not!!

The song is so popular even Hommies know it!!, the riff would have to be one of the most popular songs ever!!

In a top 5 order....IMO these are the most well known & popular Hair metal songs ever

1. Final Countdown ( Europe)
2. Jump ( Van Halen
3. Cherry Pie ( Warrant
4. Dr Feel Good ( Motely Crue)
5 Livin on a prayer ( Bon Jovi)

Just remember how many good bands there where...Def Lep, Gunners, Ratt, White Snake, Van Halen, Kiss.

Definitely justified in having some Van Halen in there, you can also add "Dreams" to that list......and dammit, i can't remember that title of one of Def Lepp's hit song, Rocket or something?

Yeah Rockett is an awesome song!!!

Van Halen where bloody brillant, " Why can't this be love" was also a very popular song.....Howvever Jump is still so popular amongst people of today it's inclusion is a must!!

I remember growing up and everywhere i wen't it seemed " Final Countdown" was getting played, it was a great song though!!

You probably already know this, but news is that Hagar is back with Van Halen :shock: - 5150 pt.2? maybe, well, you'd hate for them to bomb out

Roth is nothing without VH....lol, he hasn't changed his hairstyle since the late 80s and still thinks he's got it :oops:

Apparently the Bret Michaels from Poison might be going country too - they were never mentally stable were they? Maybe its all the aqua-net hair spray they used back in the day......oh, that reminds me of "NOTHIN, BUT A GOOD TIME!"

BTW madunit, shut up! Respect the 80s hair metal genre, NOW

That picture is the chronic!!! :lol: :lol:

yeah Lee Roth looks like " Doc" now from " back to the future" :lol: ......his hair is completely bleached.....yet he thinks it's natural!! :roll:

Don't get me wrong Diamond Dave use to be the man......but he left Van Halen & ruined at the time a great band..but Hagar is now the man!!

I dunno, I was 8 or 9 when it was released but it's an awesome song and I vote it to be nominated as the best song of the 80's. :p
