They're just like Motley Crue, but with a male lead singer!

VH, of course. I sometimes feel they aren't really a hair-metal band though. But in any case, VH is stupidly iconic (meaning, iconic as hell!). And DLR's solo band, the first two albums with Steve Vai? Whew!
WASP is another great, I always think of them in a tv interview (was it Behind the Music?) talking about how the crowd would throw raw meat at them, and one time someone threw a frozen rack of lamb and it knocked their guitarist unconscious or something.
That's pretty 80s
