Philadelphia's very own, Cinderella
It's all good: Some people love Jackson Browne but hate the Eagles. No genre is fullproof.
They broke out in South Carolina but the singer of this band grew up just outside of State College in the town of Lock Haven, Pa. Firehouse.
Without this guy, you may have never heard of a band called "Bon Jovi": Jon's cousin, who gave him his start in music, Aldo Nova

Masterful musician and fantastic blue eyed soul voice, I also love Eric Carmen.
Mike Judge didn't like them, but I did, so screw Mike Judge. Winger!
One of the true 80's rock supergroups, featuring John Waite, Jonathan Cain, and Neal Schon. Bad English.
Here's another 80's song I like, and it's very appropriate for our football team. WE ARE "Back In The High Life Again".
Co written by the great Will Jennings, and featuring James Taylor on background vocals. Another great artist.
That's a great choice, congrats on your wedding. And yes, Carl "C.J." Snare is from Lock Haven and went to the old Lock Haven high school, he was a bobcat, haha. The fact that they made it was a real long shot. At that time you needed to either play the strip in L.A., or have connections to one of the major labels, or get a few showcase shows, and somehow that band came out of the South Carolina club circuit and someone from Epic took a chance on them and signed them. They are actually one of the best selling bands in the genre, as it was mainly their ballads that did so well. In all, they had 5 top 40 songs.
For a genre of music that has been so degraded and downgraded by the media, the music intelligencia, the alternative nation, Seattle, and everyone else, it sure seems to have a lot of fans. Possibly because it was fun, it was a show, and it was more about entertainment and good times, and after all, nobody at Rolling Stone likes that sort of thing.
Gary Cherone, who is a GREAT singer. He was never given a fair shot in Van Halen, when the truth is, he's a better singer than Sammy and Dave put together.
Correct: This was the metal genre, rather than the 80's rock genre, but both genres started in the 80's of course, and Grim Reaper had some good stuff on that first and second record.
Somehow I had forgotten it until you brought it up. Not my cup of tea, but I remember that whole kind of sound was HUGE on the dance floors in the mid 80's.
