Hey now boys, lets not forget that glam-metal could be good too.
Strangeways were a short-lived outfit from Scotland who released three albums between 1986-1989. Needless to say, they're without a doubt the best pop-metal band of that decade.

Everyone knows Def Leppard (for better or for worse), but this particular AOR gem hit radio like a cannonball in 1999, over a decade since AOR went out of style! It's nothing special, but its catchier than herpes on 'Jersey Shore'.

And, of course, who can forget Devin Townsend, who made larger than life pop-metal cool again?
