Got a good laugh on that one, thanks!

Here's another one I came across today. It's a cover, but it works well.

Ran across this one while taking a stroll through my music library. Alice Cooper is a legend! Cold Ethyl is a cut from the 1975 Welcome to My Nightmare masterpiece.

A modern rock band with a style and sound of straight up 80s Hair Metal; been some time since I've heard someone kick it old-school like this, another good recommendation from YT.

Dirty Honey - When I'm Gone

Definitely hearing the AC/DC and Led Zep influences there as well as a bit of the Poison sound. Good song structures but the production values need some fine tuning.

I've been diving down the youtube rabbit hole for The Pretty Reckless and here's another one I like quite a bit.

Hair Bands aren't everyone's cup of tea but many of them, for me, are quintessential to the 80s. My friends and I listened to most of them during middle and high school, many afternoons were spent watching MTV and playing Nintendo.

RIP Cinderella guitarist Jeff LaBar, died July 14th at the age of 58.

Maaaaaaan... Fiddy-eight is way too young to check out.

I saw Cinderella back in the 89-90 time frame and they put on good show. 8-)

Here's another great tune from the same album as Don't Know What You've Got... This one is Gypsy Road - enjoy!

Not a single song video, but I think this fits the thread well enough.

First two hours of MTV, August 1, 1981.
