2. Winner - Y&T - "Summertime Girls" (I love both songs though...)

1. Poison -- Not even close!

2. Y&T -- 'Summertime Girls' is a huge song and it still gets a lot of airplay in New England.

3. Danger Danger -- Close match but I do like TNT too.

4. Slaughter -- The real winner is Dana Strum because he was in both bands' songs. And before everyone tells me Mark Slaughter was in VVI, I know that, he didn't sing until the 2nd album.

5. Extreme -- Huge tune here in Rhode Island/Massachusetts area, reminds me of parking lot parties back in the day. Close matchup. Change the Dokken tune and I might have a different vote.

6. Europe -- No contest.

7. Steelheart -- Not a big fan of either band so I'm going with the lesser of two evils.

8. Def Leppard -- This should make the final or come very close. This is perhaps the most annoying song by Def Lep. Saw the tour in Providence with Tesla opening up.

[Tommy]

1. Poison - "Nothin' But A Good Time" (Easy.)
2. Vixen - "Edge Of A Broken Heart" (Tough)
3. TNT - "10,000 Lovers (In One)" (EXTREMELY tough one for me, I love both bands/songs.)
4. Slaughter - "Up All Night"
5. Dokken - "Into the Fire" (Easy. Extreme has the worst vocalist within the whole hair/glam genre, but Nuno is great though.)
6. Tuff - "The All New Generation" (Tuff rocks! Also, "The Final Countdown" is so damn overrated..)
7. Steelheart - "Everybody Loves Eileen" (Tough, because I love both songs.)
8. Hericane Alice - "Wild, Young and Crazy" (I was never a huge Def Leppard fan. Most songs simply suck, yet some songs are great, but "Pour Some Sugar On Me" definitely isn't one of the great ones.)
