LOL, I remember most every one of them. Damn. Gonna have to tune in one of the streaming hair band radio stations. Those were the days. Even the crappiest of the bunch had more musically going on than the average three-chord pseudo band on the radio today.
I liked the less ballady stuff, which signalled the downward gradient of hard rock, but there’s some gems in there. And soon after grunge would rape and pillage. And then came the power pop vultures. And now I’m all old and fogey and listen mostly to NPR because the corprate programming from high atop the Clear Channel mountain just doesn’t move me the way Ratt or even, gasp, Poison could.
>> Friday night high school football game
Of course, that’s assuming you attended a high school that played football. Let alone on Friday nights…
But besides that, the list is surprisingly complete - at least, of the stuff that made it across the Atlantic.
