    I actually despise hair metal but something about Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone by Cinderella is hilariously brilliant. I think it's the singer's voice. overwrought much? :D

    catchy though.

    I am proud to say that PJ changed my musical tastes dramaticly.

    I'm right there with ya. I'd like to think PJ put a nail in the coffin for my tastes for hair metal as a young man. I just liked rock music. I grew up in the midwest where exposure to the fringe music just really wasn't there. I grew to appreciate groups like The Cure, The Smiths, The Fixx, The Pixies, all the "The" groups, toward the end of hair metal days. I'd like to think I just didn't know any better. But I did like, nay love, most of your aforementioned groups once upon a time. Some more than others. (Don't forget Poison!) This is a big reason why I wish I was born in 1980 instead of 1972, if for any other reason then because my coming of age music would have been PJ, Nirvana, Soundgarten, etc. instead. I try to listen to those bands these days and I will listen for nostalgia's sake for a short while but for the most part I just can't stomach it.
