Classic Hair Bands: Def Leppard – Women
The Def Leppard song “Women” is a gem that is often overlooked, but it’s a classic rock song that’s one of the band’s best efforts in my opinion. The guitar riffs, drums, and vocals are amazing. This is a great effort from the band. Check it out.

In the early days, when I first started getting into rock/metal, I had heard of Bon Jovi but had oddly never been exposed to their music until “I’ll Be There for You” hit MTV. It took a little time for this single to grow on me, but once it did, “I’ll Be There for You” became one of my favorite Bon Jovi singles. Check it out.

The one thing that’s most memorable about Steelheart for me is lead singer, Michael Matijevic’s ability to hit some really high notes. He definitely gave other metal lead singers a run for their money.
“I’ll Never Let You Go” by Steelheart was massive on MTV, receiving a lot of heavy rotation on MTV (when they use to play videos) on their “video block” concept. Check it out.

I avoided female metal acts (cough…Vixen…cough) like the plague because I just didn’t like any of their music. That was true until Lita Ford’s duet with Ozzy Osbourne on “Close My Eyes Forever.” This is one of my favorite power ballads. Enjoy.

Before Great White resurfaced into the headlines with the horrible club fire that killed 100 people, the band made some pretty good rock music. My favorite from them is “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.” Other than their cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You,” this is my favorite song from the group.
