Some great ones in there. Good to see Dokken and Kix get some love. Agree with alot of them but there are a few I didnt agre with like Mr Big, Nelson.

Heard of them all but not that Twisted Sister one and many back in the day I was jamming with TS when the tapes came out!

That list is terrible. Too many obvious omissions and some crazy choices put in.

I know these songs are mostly by "Hair Metal " bands but if you have Heart, Nazareth, and Aerosmith on this list these songs would be good additions as well:
Journey-Open Arms & Faithfully
Foreigner- I want to know what love is
Heart- Alone & What about love?
REO Speedwagon- Pick five or six of their wimpy songs that aren't Ridin the storm out or Roll with the changes.

Ok....the Def Leppard power ballad is Love Bites

The Whitesnake power ballad isn't Here I Go Again, it's Is This Love

All I Wanna Do? I liked the song but Heart has multiple better type power ballads with Alone being the obvious choice.

Omissions? Bon Jovi I'll be there for you. Cinderella Don't know what you got till it's gone. Bad English When I see you smile. Firehouse Love of a Lifetime. Meatloaf Anything for love.
