It's Dokken's biggest hit, and one of the greatest power ballads of all time. Yeah, there's a reason it was so big. Just listen to it. 24 | Dokken โข Alone Again

It's a pretty savage Cinderella song, and actually in all of hair metal. And on a personal note, it's a favorite of mine, as the first one I heard of the band. C'mon everyone, sing along: SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE ME! 23 | Cinderella โข Somebody Save Me

Goddamn it, that opening gets me every time. It's one of two great Skid Row power ballads, the latter of which is yet to come on the list, but this one is just a great song. Emotional and nostalgic, it's the kind of song you sing as you think back on your life. 22 | Skid Row โข I Remember You

Most people say that Whitesnake is a sh*t band that made one good song. I agree. It's just not this song. Everyone else though, loves it, so what can I do but go with it? Plus it's got one of the greatest music video vixens in it so... the mob rules! 20 | Whitesnake โข Here I Go Again

Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead Or Alive" is a damn good song, I admit, but the greatest cowboy song of the '80s is this one right here. It's a showdown, in the dead man's land... 19 | Tesla โข Modern Day Cowboy

The Prince of Darkness had decided to hang up his cloak after the No More Tears tour in 1990, but ultimately didn't. During this period however, he penned this ballad to his wife Sharon. Just listening to it makes us wish they hadn't broken up last year. 18 | Ozzy Osbourne โข Mama, I'm Coming Home

Ah, Dokken. These guys. For the music video of this song, they filmed guitarist George Lynch's solo on an active f*cking volcano. One that was about to erupt. Yeah. They got off before it did, luckily. Guess you could say they "just got lucky"! *cough* 17 | Dokken โข Just Got Lucky

Oh my god I love this song. Penned to vocalist Geoff Tate's first wife and released on 1990's Empire, the band's last "great" album, it's a Queensrรฟche classic, a beautiful, emotional song, and one of the greatest of all time. Oh hey Toz76, this song's for you... 16 | Queensrรฟche โข Jet City Woman

They do sound like such nice boys, don't they? Ah, Poison... coming later to the hair band scene than many other bands, they made an impact, and are considered some of the best in the genre. And this song is one of their best. Hit it, C.C. 15 | Poison โข Talk Dirty To Me

It's a pretty deep song from hair metal, about youth and problems they end up in. You ever shot another kid? Ricky did, and now he's 18 and life. 14 | Skid Row โข 18 And Life

It's one of the band's biggest songs, a "f*ck you" to a previous relationship gone awry. I've heard people say that Cinderella is a dumb band. Given their success, their popularity, and this song right here, I must firmly disagree. 11 | Cinderella โข Nobody's Fool

Coming at a time when both artists' careers weren't in the best positions, Lita Ford enlisted her good friend Ozzy Osbourne to share the mic with this amazing power ballad. It's a killer track. 8 | Lita Ford ft. Ozzy Osbourne โข Close My Eyes Forever

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll was the hair band lifestyle, but while you could reference f*cking, you couldn't actually say "f*ck" in a song. Then W.A.S.P. came along and dropped their first single, which was the raunchiest, dirtiest, and most sex-driving song about f*cking yet. It landed on the PMRC's Filthy Fifteen list, and ended up helping the band make it big. 7 | W.A.S.P. โข Animal (F*** Like A Beast)
