Van Halen was my choice, even if they're a different generation than the rest of the groups
 
 
 
Search one other anomaly in that list.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
Leppard is the only non-US band.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

They weren't listed on the All-Music Guide list of Pop Metal bands.  I cut my teeth on Rock You Like A Hurricane too.

Bon Jovi... love Sambora's style... Van Halen almost in the same place... just that they really screw up in the late 90's while the jovies are still producing... always 3 or 4 songs in each new album worth to listen to... Hail yeah to Pop Metal..!!! Rawks

loved most of them, but i would say Motley Crue, even though i don't consider them as a pop metal band but a real glam metal, especially on the "Shout" album, that's pretty heavy to be considered pop

Pornograffitti is one of my favorite albums of all time.  Clap


It's one of mine as well, and my vote would go to Extreme if they were listed.

Since they aren't I'm gonna go with Van Halen. Thumbs Up

The eponymous album is as good as extreme II : pornograffiti.

Van Halen no contest, although only the DLR era...... and even then Women & Children First, coz I'm not much a fan of Diver Down or 1984

My vote goes for Cinderella - Night Songs and Long Cold Winter are two great albums, better than what I heard from the others from the list.

From this list Def Leppard then Bon Jovi.  But the one metal band I really loved in the 80's was Europe.
