Night Ranger – Sister Christian
Journey – Arms
Foreigner – I Want to Know What Love Is
REO Speedwagon – Keep On Lovin’ You
Poison – Every Rose Has Its Thorn (never heard it)
Motley Crue – Home Sweet Home (never heard it)
Warrant – Heaven (never heard it)
Cinderella – Don’t Know What You Got Til It’s Gone (never heard it)
Scorpions – Still Lovin’ You
Kansas – Dust in the Wind (wasn’t this 70s?)
Well, those may have been the most commercially succesful hits of each group, but I couldn’t stand any of them (with one exception, years after the fact). The whole purpose of 80s pop-rock was to be loud, clear, and strong! (more…)
