2. Van Halen - Fair Warning
3. Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love
4. Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
5. Cinderella - Night Songs
6. Aerosmith - Pump
7. Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry
8. Def Leppard - Pyromania
9. Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin

Ugh. This inevitably leads to the old "what is a hair band album?" problem. I just can't with Aerosmith or Van Halen, even tho they had hits during the hair era...plus, my whole list would just be their albums. I am also not going to put any records by bands that had albums on both sides, like Def Leppard or Priest, who, despite having some stuff that falls into that era, will always just be BHM bands, NW or not, going through a phase to me.

Imma draw an arbitrary cutoff of 1980 on the low side as well...and only include albums I actually owned.

Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Ozzy- Blizzard
Ozzy - Diary
Dokken- Tooth and Nail
Dokken - Under Lock and Key
Kix- Kix
Great White - Great White
Cinderella _ Night Songs
