Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by Music4life46 
These are some of my favorite hair band albums mostly from the 80's. I like a lot of different types of music so I am not saying these are necessarily all the greatest albums ever but the hair band era is underrated and these albums are a lot of fun. A few of these technically aren't true hair bands or hair band albums but close. For example, Alice Cooper influenced a lot of hair bands and put out some hair band albums but he is more classic hard rock (let's not forget even bands like Judas Priest with Turbo or Ozzy with the Ultimate Sin kind of went a bit hair band themsleves). I don't think Badlands was actually a hair band and I don't even know if Tesla was either.
