Let me start off by saying, this is not my list I am simply sharing the information. With that said, I agree with all but 2!

The website Loudwire came out with a interesting list, it's the most cheesiest hair metal ballads of all time. I like posting this because as Detroiters I think we know rock and metal better than most, so it is interesting to get your take on things like this.

First here is the list, then I will tell you my thoughts and where they missed it.

Eleven of the Cheesiest Hair Metal Ballads

1. "You're All I Need", Motley Crue

2. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", Poison

3. "I'll Be There for You", Bon Jovi

4. "Carrie", Europe

5. "Love of a Lifetime", Firehouse

6. "Don't Know What You Got ('Till It's Gone)", Cinderella

7. "Wait", White Lion

8. "Headed for a Heartbreak", Winger

9. "After the Rain", Nelson

10. "Fly High Michelle", Enuff Z'Nuff

11. "Honestly", Stryper

Now for the one I think this list missed, "I'll remember you" by Skid Row. I will be honest, I love this song and think the live is even better than the album version. But, I will also admit it is a cheesy song through and through.

I mean look at some of these lyrics:

I'll remember youYour voice as soft as the warm summer breezeYour sweet laughter, mornings afterEver after, I'll remember you

To your arms someday, I'll return to stay'Til then I will remember tooEvery bright star we made wishes uponLove me always, promise alwaysOoh, you'll remember too

I mean come on! I might have to put this song above them all. Expect for "Every Rose has it's Throne, that to me takes the cake!

I am not saying these songs are bad, just saying I think they knew what they were doing when writing them.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
