firstly..If you told Joe Elliot, Jon Bon Jovi or Gene Simmons they were "hair Metal" they would more than likely kick your arse, having said that I do own EVERY single one of these albums...to the choice, I dont consider most of them "Hair Metal" either..so using the LA street map theory, I picked the Sunset Strip tennants on the list and selected Motley...but Poison and Quiet Riot were a very close second and third
