Worst Hair Band of the 80s/early 90s

[Mr. Sensible]

I offer Trixter.

What say you?

[GH2001]

Whitesnake, RATT, Warrant....

[Saniflush]

Game.
Set.
Match.

[wesfau2]

Game.
Set.
Match.

Solid entry.

And fuck this:

Whitesnake, RATT, Warrant....

Warrant is the lesser of this group, but none of these compare with the suckitude of Stryper.  RATT had some great songs ('Round and Round is quite a stripper anthem).  Whitesnake gets a pass for the once-magnificent Tawny Kitaen.

Trixter was a good choice.

I'd also offer: Firehouse.

[Buzz Killington]

[wesfau2]

Whooooooaaaa...

Nobody's Fool, Don't Know What You Got...., Shelter.....quality rock songs/power ballads.


Tom Keifer was a poor man's Steve Tyler.

[Tiger Wench]

Totally agree, wes.  I loved Don't Know What You Got... was the theme to many a break up note response...

i am hard pressed to name a "Worst" one - they all had their moments, their pinnacle of hairsprayed greatness...

How about Britny Fox?

Had it misspelled.  Not Samantha Fox.  This was a group of dudes.  The album was called "Girls School", I think.

[Tiger Wench]

How about Brittney Fox?

Is she technically a band?  

[GH2001]

Solid entry.

And phuk this:

You can suck less than Stryper and still suck. Yes - I think Stryper was THAT bad.

[Buzz Killington]

[Mr. Sensible]

Odin from "The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years"

[wesfau2]

Yeah, I'm not lobbying for Cinderella's inclusion in any "best of" lists, but they are certainly not THE worst.

[Saniflush]

"Bad Seamstress Blues" alone is a solid enough song to keep them off any worst of list.

[GH2001]

Some more:  Mr. Big (Kaos' favorite), Slaughter, Europe (simp's favorite), WASP, Guiffria, Winger (my favorite).

I take Whitesnake back because Coverdell wasnt actually a terrible vocalist.

Most underrated front man of all time? Paul Rodgers - although I think Bad Company was avg. He made them ok.

IMO
Mr. Big = Not the worst but deffintely playing to the marketing of the time

Slaughter = gets a pass for "Up All Night" and "Fly to the Angels".

Europe = Agree completely

WASP = You are way off base here.  WASP was not a hair band by definition.  Completely metal.  Blackie Lawless was a trend setter for what would later become the West coast metal movement.  WASP will always hold a special place in my heart for not taking any shit off of Tipper Gore and her PRMC organization that was encroaching on free speech.  I am reminded of this piece with Dee Snider...


Winger = There is a reason why the lame kid on Beavis and Butthead wore the winger shirt

[Mr. Sensible]

Europe (simp's favorite)

This one's for simp

Thanks for saving me the typing. Waaaaaaaay off base on this one, GH.

Maybe this isn't the thread for you to shine.

I'm a hair band fanatic, Poison still makes me moist.
