Similar to Butch Walker there were a few musicians from the 80s metal scene who attempted to make Power-pop music. Which album did you think was the best?

No Jabberwocky option?
Michael Sweet's self-titled debut was pop greatness. Although that was probably 90s. This was the last time he had niance to his voice and before all the doucheness

Back Down To One has one of the worst drum sounds I've heard on an album.

I do know what it means. I thought if i said hair metal instead of 80s metal some people would get mad (especially the purists who think Saigon Kick and Warrant were never Hair Metal).

While he is a raving lunatic of insanity and drug abuse... Donnie Vie's solo records destroy ALL of the above!

Saigon Kick aren't Hair or 80's actually, but who in the hell doesn't think Warrant is a Hair Rock band?

Jabberwocky would have to be released to count.

Bieler's is best here. But the real answer is: "10" by Enuff Z'nuff with "There Goes My Heart." That's one of Donnie's best songs.
