10 Greatest Hair Metal Songs

10. Night Songs - Cinderella

Just from the first sight of this album cover, you can pretty much already tell that Cinderella was tailor made for the '80s. With the 6 inch heels, the hair that looks like it just went through a blow dryer, and the pouty expressions on their faces, this should be the album that is made for the bottom of the barrel glam metal fans. Then you throw on the first track and get something completely different.

Yeah, when you stack up a track like Night Songs among the lesser bands of the genre like Enuff Znuff, this is the raw rock and roll that you didn't see all that often. Instead of the usual influences from people like David Bowie or Sweet, this sounds like Tom Keifer was raised on the classic stuff like Aerosmith and ZZ Top, especially when he kicks into that screaming high register in his voice.

Although most of the greatest hair metal songs are about a night on the town, this is the one moment where that kind of party actually sounds dangerous, almost like you're riding on a train bound for nowhere. It's gonna be a long journey through the night, but it's definitely gonna be a hell of a ride if you have this in your playlist.
