I'm bored, and compiling a compilation of 80s hair metal / rock. So far I've got stuff like:

Foreigner - I want to know what love is
Journey - Don't stop believing
Rainbow - Since you've been gone
Boston - More than a feeling
The Skorpions - Wind of change
Europe - The final countdown
Survivor - Eye of the tiger
Whitesnake - Here I go again
Meatloaf - Bat out of hell

You rang? Some good ones to start with up there.

How about a few of these;

Love/Hate - Black out in the Red Room
I believe in a thing called love - The Darkness. Nu-skool hair metal!
Everything about you - Ugly Kid Joe (the live "Dirty Edit" by preference)
Move to the City - GnR, again, the live version on Live Era is the pick.
Backstreet Symphony - Thunder
Word up - Gun (Covertastic!)
Anything, and I mean ANYTHING by Little Angels!
Showdown - Love on Ice (From the Bill & Ted's soundtrack. One hit wonder but great!)
Cult of Personality - Living Colour

Oh come on D.A.D and Anthrax are not hair metal. Love/Hate that is questionable.

If you want Brit hair metal then Wrathchild has to be included, just hysterical.

I will add...

White Lion - Wait
Winger - Headed for A Heartbreak
Damn Yankees - High Enough
Hanoi Rocks - Up Around The Bend
Kingdom Come - Get It On
Mammoth - Fatman
The Dog's D'Amour - How Come It Never Rains

OK, a couple not strictly speaking 'Hair Metal', but close enough to be included

I'm LIKING some of these suggestions, I'm not bothered if it's not specifically hair rock, as long as it's anthemic driving rock... I'm even tempted to put some Bruce in there

HardLine - 'Takin' Me Down' or 'I'll Be There'
Cinderella - 'Gypsy Road'

Quireboys - remember a stonking gig at the T&C and their stage set was a replica of the inside of a pub.

Also, Heart - Alone

The above have brought back so many memories of my youth, going to Jilly's, Rockworld and UMIST in Manchester, with gigs at the Apollo. Here's my contribution, but the list could have gone on for ages. Thanks for making me feel young again.

Y&T - Rescue Me
Shy - The Hunter
John Norum - Back on the Streets
TNT - Thor with the Hammer
Dare - Abandon
The Babys - White Lightning
Lee Aaron - Metal Queen
FM - Indiscreet, the whole album
