New Jersey-based rockers Skid Row were one of the very last metal outfits to hit the mainstream before grunge took over in the early ’90s. While the band’s self-titled debut employed standard pop-metal riffs and lyrics (albeit to great commercial success via the hits “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” and “Youth Gone Wild”), 1991’s Slave to the Grind and 1995’s Subhuman Race broke the mold with uncharacteristically hard, thrashy guitars and unique songwriting techniques.
Winger specialized in the stylish pop-metal that sent them to the top of the charts. The band’s eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker “Seventeen” and the ballad “Headed for a Heartbreak.” Winger’s second album, 1990’s In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power ballad “Miles Away.”
With a pair of double-platinum albums and three Top Ten singles, Warrant were one of the most popular pop-metal bands of the late ’80s. The band signed with Columbia Records in January 1988 and released Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich one year later; by that summer, it had climbed into the Top Ten and launched the hit singles “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries,” and “Heaven,” the last of which reached number two on the American charts. Released in the summer of 1990, follow-up effort Cherry Pie was an even bigger success, climbing into the Top Ten and featuring the high-charting singles “I Saw Red” and “Cherry Pie”.
