Don’t get us wrong, we love Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses and all the other ’80s rock bands that achieved tremendous success on the charts. However, there were a ton of other great ’80s rock bands that released some great songs and albums, but unfortunately, they were overlooked for the most part. Here’s a look at ten great songs by ten different ’80s rock bands that you may have never heard of…
Brighton Rock – ‘Can’t Wait For The Night’
Smashed Gladys – ‘Lick It Into Shape’
MSG (McAuley Schenker Group) – ‘Gimme Your Love’
Krokus ‘Midnite Maniac’
Helix – ‘Rock You’
Warlock – ‘All We Are’
Hoodoo Gurus – ‘Bittersweet’
Dirty Looks – ‘Oh! Ruby’
Killer Dwarfs – ‘Dirty Weapons’
Blue Murder – ‘Valley Of The Kings’

You guys forgot Hit The Ground Runnin. They were big in Canada in 1988 and in Japan in 1989. They just made a big comeback with a new album and I am so stoked. Their first album was my mom and dads favorite and use to play it all the time.
