Which Band Deserved More Success? - A Poll
These bands all came out towards the later end of the hairband era. Which one of these bands had the most talent and should have blown up had they come out earlier or had the musical climate been better?

The correct answer is Sleeze Beez but they weren’t included in your poll.

I don't remember any songs from many of those bands. Too much time would be involved for me to effectively participate in this poll.

All great bands (with the exception of Pariah whom I'm not as familiar with), but of these I'll go with Slik Toxik. The Canadian Skid Row, and Doin' the Nasty is just perfect sleaze.

Of those bands Tuff would be 2nd to last
Ghost mystery early on LSD singer would have been a good guess. Takes brilliant mind to do LSD and Ghost
Kingofthehill should have had Nelson success, they were built for that life

Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

I’ll second that they deserve to be in the poll. I’m not sure they’d be my top pick but I liked them better than LSD, Wildside and a couple of others mentioned.

Re: Which Band Deserved More Success? - A Poll
From the list, Tyketto. There are 2-3 songs that should have been hits and part of the hair metal canon by now. Timing, and maybe the band was too faceless for 1991 when the market was flooded with new-ish hair metal bands.
Not mentioned on the list - Pretty Maids, Icon and Slash Puppet. If the world was fair, they would have Jackyl's and Slaughter's platinum albums.

Except for Tyketto and LSD they all sucked. Maybe Kik Tracee were okay.

Life Sex And Death had some success with the song ''School's for Fools'' which was featured in an episode of Beavis and Butthead. They used to rerun that episode a lot.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Sun Aug 24, 2025 5:10 pmYeah these bands didn't even have a baseline level of success.Rocker4Real wrote: ↑Sun Aug 24, 2025 4:15 pm I don't remember any songs from many of those bands.
