Although they weren't the first, Poison are perhaps the definitive hair-metal band. The hard-rockin' quartet played a surefire mix of glam riffage and metal crunch that reached its peak in popularity during the late 1980s. Unabashed hedonists, Poison took Kiss's mantra of "rock & roll all night and party everyday" to untold heights, and sported make-up, teased hair, and outfits so garishly scarf-laden Steven Tyler and Keith Richards themselves would blush. The arrival of grunge obliterated hair-metal, but Poison soldiered through the '90s and 2000s, and embarked on a successful anniversary tour in 2006.
