W-O-R-S-T damn 80s Hair Metal song. Pick one of these or add yer own.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

REMEMBER...cool bands DO release songs that SUCK, so a vote for a song in THIS poll is NOT a vote against the entire recorded works.

1. Oh Ghod

An embarassment of riches. Can't possibly choose, so I'll just add another. Slaughter - Up All Night, Sleep All Day.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. I was living in denial until your post...YES, that's a BAD one.

I'd actually blocked out all of the painful memories of that song.

The only thing worse that the "Up all night, sleep all day" was the weasel-y "THAT'S RIIIIIIIGHT" response.

:evilgrin:

[musette_sf]

2. "See You In Hell" by Grim Reaper

Any metal group that Beavis hates, I gotta hate too.

[BattyDem]

13. LOL! I just got that from iTunes

:headbang:

[flamingyouth]

3. "Seventeen" by Winger - for the creepy factor alone.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. Yeah...VH1 talked about that..

You watched that, right? I seem to remember you replying when I posted that "Worst Metal Vids" thread.

I think it was Henry Rollins who said in that special "If you're NINETEEN and lusting after a 17 year old girl, that's ONE thing...but if you're THIRTY FIVE..."

:toast:

[Nitrogenica]

4. 17's obviously the worst!

Cuzza the promotion of questionable values....ummm...well ok whatta u think? Maybe he was 17 when he wrote dat!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

8. Doesn't matter, he was 35 when he sang it...

...and that qualifies him for the Creep Hall of Fame.

:evilgrin:

[miss_kitty]

6. I was so not into this music

I haven't heard of any of your choices, save cherry pie and I can't even get an earworm off of it-It's nowhere in my memory banks.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. It was an annoying little juvenile sexual innuendo train wreck of a song.

And if anyone missed the point of the lyrics, the video drove it home...with a sledgehammer.

Warrant lead singer Jani Lane is currently on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club," dealing with a weight problem and a bad case of alcoholism.

[miss_kitty]

12. I remember the Video on MTV

But I always changed it the minute it came on or if I was surfing and ran across it.

And the tidbit about the lead singer-:wow: who knew?

[JimmyJazz]

21. Any "power ballad" would automatically top my list!

I do NOT understand the concept of a power ballad. But, then again, I hate aqua net and spandex, too. :)

[miss_kitty]

34. I have heard the term 'Power Ballad'

but I don't know what it is.

:shrug:

[Parche]

9. worst

Whitesnake

[BattyDem]

11. Well, I happen to love hair metal ...

:hide:

I just bought Black 'n Blue's Ultimate Collection from Amazon.com (not a well-known band, but good music! :headbang: )

But I'm not so blind by my love for the genre that I can't recognize the crap. So, I'd have to say "Seventeen" - it's a very catchy song, Kip Winger was drop-dead gorgeous ... but let's face it: it's a pedophilia anthem. :puke:

[Kat45]

31. I agree with you. I love hair metal ....and

Kip Winger was drop-dead gorgeous. Hated the song, but I'd watch the video just to look at him. I also had a little thing going with a local musician who looked kinda like him.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

14. Had to go with "Cherry Pie"................

Nice Brad Gillis pic. Wonder wot he's doing now?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

16. Better sit down, kids...

Night Ranger Record Deal
Friday, April 08, 2005
Night Ranger has just signed a new record deal and are writing new songs.They will start recording in May. The CD will hopefully be released around September with more details to follow soon...

:scared:

[BattyDem]

19. Night Ranger always got a bad rap ...

but they were a KICK-ASS live band! :headbang:

[Parrcrow]

15. Dirty Deeds by AC/DC

just plain awful.

[charlie]

17. Not a hair band, though... n/t

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. Wait a second...AC/DC are NOT a "Hair Metal" band...

...and how can you NOT like "D.D.D.D.C?"

If you think that song is "just plain awful," then the terra-ists have already won!



:evilgrin:

[Doctor_J]

26. How can they not be?

What with this?

[Parrcrow]

29. LOL

:headbang: let 'em win then

[AntiCoup2K4]

35. Impossible for a number of reasons

1) It was recorded in 1976, and therefore ineligible for an 80's poll.

2) Ac/Dc was NEVER a hair band. They weren't actually metal at all. They just got lumped in there with all the "Hell" references in their music.

3) Dirty Deeds does not suck. Nothing they recorded with Bon Scott sucks.

[brack]

20. More really, really bad songs....

Hi y'all. This is my first post, I just couldn't pass this up...

Here's some notable sucky 80's songs...

"Who Made Who" AC/DC (crappy song, from a crappy movie)

"The Price" Twisted Sister (no one bought a power ballad from them)

"Long Way To Love" Britny Fox (Sort of obscure, not sure if anyone will remember them. They were a bad Cinderella clone)

"Heartbreak Boulevard" Shotgun Messiah (another obscure one, check it out if you get the chance, the bridge to this song sounds sort of like "The Muppets".

"Home Sweet Home" Motley Crue (No short comment could sum this up, it was just plain bad)

Just my 2 cents on these. See you all soon.

[greeneyedpookie]

22. Winger

just plain out sucked!!! :puke:

GEP

:bounce:

[Chovexani]

23. Final Countdown, no fucking contest

Nonsensical lyrics + the cheesiest synthline in the history of manking = Worst. Hair Band. Song. Ever.

[AlCzervik]

24. I voted for Final Countdown but i think Whitesnake should get

a mention for the truly awful video that went with their sucktacular song.

[flvegan]

25. Where the hell is Slaughter?

Okay, many of these bands had talent, albeit a bad genre.

White Lion, Slaughter, etc had more talent than me, but...c'mon...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

27. I forgot about Slaughter when I posted the poll...

...but yeah, they're probably worse than everyone on the list combined (EXCEPT Winger).

White Lion, Accept, Quiet Riot, Autograph...the list goes on, but at least we have a few of the "main offenders" here...

:toast:

[Skittles]

28. I really hate Every Rose Has Its Thorn

real f***ing pap; absolute drivel :thumbsdown:

[proud patriot]

30. Anything by Warrant

:puke:

[bliss_eternal]

32. ..makes my butt itch and my ears bleed.

:banghead:

Every rose has it's Thorn is a vile excuse for a song.

[Alcibiades]

33. Seventeen

Just plain gross.

She's only seventeen (seventeen)
The girl she gives me love like I've never seen
She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me
Seventeen!!
She's everything I need (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough
Old enough for me
Yeah! Yeah!

[regnaD kciN]

36. The beauty of being over-the-hill...

...is that I only recognize two of the songs on that list.

[WeRQ4U]

37. What about "WHite Lion" - WHen the Children Cry

Fuck the children, what about me. I burst into tears every time I hear that piece of shit.

A close second would have to be "Unskinny Bop" by Poison. Aside from the fact that it's completely fucking nonsensical, Brett Michaels pumping his groin every time he says "bop" makes me throw up in my mouth.
