    One of these things is not like the others.

    I'd be surprised if there are any of the 80s metal era bands that I haven't seen. I grew up a short drive from Mountain View Amphitheater, which is where they have just about every festival show in Northern California. One of the guys who used to run the place is a family friend, so I had free tickets to almost every show.

    Exactly.

    Jackyl - Shit
    L.A. Guns - OK band
    Cinderella - Underrated band
    Tesla - Underrated

    GNR - One of the best bands ever...

    Yeah, Jackyl probably doesn't fit in that group ... but they're fun. Not exactly a "hair band," though.

    Extreme falls in this category. They were excellent musicians who came to the fork in the road 1990-ish, and chose the hairy path — to their peril. Ditto Queensryche.

    I always hated Extreme, but they were very good musicians.

    Queensryche is another band like LA Guns that had some great harder songs, but they're best known for a ballad (Silent Lucidity) which was last dance at my junior prom.

    I actually think most Queensryche sounds nothing like the hair bands. I like the Hair bands and I like queensryche, but they're more like the Cult or a poor man's Dream Theater than they are like Poison.

    I liked Extreme and actually played in a street hockey league against them. Saigon Kick was pretty awful too.

    If Queensryche is a poor man's Dream Theater, what's Dream Theater?

    Sounds somewhat like Queensryche, but more musically layered. Shit I sound like a Rush fan and I'm certainly not.

    No way. SOD was just an obnoxious (and entertaining) outlet of loudness for Anthrax. They make no claims to musical complexity or creativity.
