At the request of the 80 lovers on this board, which of these hair band still rules.

Yes, it was the eighties. where men could grow long hair, get a perm ,and wear spandex. Yes, they sung about rebellion, satan worship, sex and booze, and the occasional power ballad.

Which of these bands 80's albums still rock 20 years later!

I've seen quite a few of these live. The only one that I haven't seen but would like to is VH.

None of those. The new Aerosmith album, in my opinion, was awful. Couldn't even listen to it. Since when did they go completely country? And the rest of the group on there...bleah. But that's just me. Love Van Halen, but they haven't made anything new that's worthwhile to listen to.

If the question is which band's music stands the test of time, I'd say Aerosmith, Van Halen, Def Leppard and Guns 'N Roses.

WE aren't judging on their recent material. I just want you to judge by the stuff released in the eighties!

I assumed you where talking about the 80's stuff.

I went GNR because they ushered in a whole new level of attitude to the LA Glam rock scene.

BUT, I only voted for them because my truly favorite 80's band wasn't available--EXTREME. I know I may get harrassed because of this but, plain and simple--NUNO Rocks! He was an inspiration then and his playing stands the test of time--the guy has chops for days.

For me it's a toss up between Crue and GnR.

Yorick, Extreme was awesome. It's a shame that they got screwed over by "More Than Words". The rest of that album and the one before were actually very good.

Yorick, seen them live and they where good. Nuno was very good live.
