Janet over at The Art of Getting By has a new Tell It to Me Tuesday. This week is another music question, but one I wouldn’t think to ask.

What are your favorite hair band songs of all time and why?

I really don’t care for most hair-bands. Some of the hits are good for nostalgia but little else. Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leopard and just about any hit by Bon Jovi qualify under this category. One I truly like would be Empire, the pro-authoritarian, anti-science song by Queensryche. Listening to it now, it sounds kind of silly like the other hair-band hits and it lyrics are very opposed to my politics yet I can’t help but like this little rocker. On the release of the same title, there is also a nice ballad that’s worth listening to entitled Silent Lucidity.
