Best (worst) 80's Hair Bands

Let's face it, there was some really big, bad hair during the 1980's. No one knows exactly what caused the big hair phenomenon, but I expect it had something to do with el Nino or some kind of rare cosmic alignment.

No one was more guilty of big hair disasters than the so-called "hair metal" and "glam rock" bands of the 80's. When it comes to hair products, these guys went all out and spared no expense. They used almost as much Aquanet as they did cocaine.

Whatever the cause, society escaped reality unharmed and continues to thrive. But thanks to the '80s, we have some really funny pictures to look back at.
