agree. The stuff we heard on the airwaves in the 80's was basically music soundtrack pop. But I couldn't bring myself to listen to alternative or punk back then, because all the weird goth kids at school were into it (while the "cool" kids were still listening to Skynyrd).
Like I mentioned, I got into some of it later on, when i stopped caring what people thought of me.
And I've never cared for Hair Metal, because those guys were generally more flash than talent. Cinderella, Poison, RATT, WASP, Faster Pussycat, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Warrant, White Lion, Whitesnake, Great White...I could go on.
I loved 80's hard rock (don't like your term, lol), but I was at the right age for all of that AND learning guitar at the same time (graduated HS in '88).
