Travel back in time to the decade of big hair, spandex, and rock 'n' roll !  Join us as we dive deep into the wild and colorful world of 80s hair bands, exploring their music, culture, and lasting impact on the music industry.

In this episode, we'll spotlight a different aspect of the hair band phenomenon, from the rise of iconic bands like Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Guns N' Roses, to the larger-than-life personalities of frontmen like David Lee Roth and Bret Michaels. We'll explore the evolution of the hair band sound, from anthemic power ballads to blistering guitar solos, and examine how these bands navigated the shifting musical landscape of the 80s.
