My top 10 “Hard Rock” bands from the 80’s:
1. Van Halen
2. Aerosmith
3. Def Leppard
4. AC/DC
5. Motley Crue
6. Ozzy Osbourne
7. Guns N Roses
8. Heart
9. Bon Jovi
10. Scorpions
What’s your list?

As far as “Hard Rock” goes, I stuck with bands with distorted guitars, guitar solos etc, so bands like U2 and Duran Duran were left off. Queen just didn’t feel right for this list either for some reason.

I based the list on musicianship/vocals, longevity, popularity, and of course, personal preference.
