The 80's - the era of the HOOK!

Fri Jun 29, 2007 11:29 pm by Follower of Jesus

One of the things I like so much about 80's metal were the hooks that all the great bands had. Hair metal bands like Bon Jovi, Warrant, Cinderella, Winger, Def Leppard, White Lion, etc. as well as more regular metal bands like Tesla, Skid Row, and even Judas Priest all knew how to write that great hook that made the song stick in your head for hours.

There was no better hook-writer than Michael Sweet. Stryper, to me, is the grand master of the hook. No one did it better.

Where, oh, where is the hook today?!?!
