Rylo, glad to hear there's a fellow Stryper fan here! Been a big fan of their's since '85. These days I wind up listening to a lot of Disciple which is a bit heavier but probably my favorite band currently.
I still love 80's metal... I mean, it's kinda hard to not love it when it was the music I listened to throughout my teenage years. Dokken, Ratt, etc. ... really love Wasted Years by Maiden - man, what a great song.
There's a host of other bands I could mention that for me fall into the 80's metal category though I dunno if other folks listened to these guys much because they were largely religious bands in the vein of Stryper - Guardian, Halo, Recon, Deliverance, Sacred Warrior, etc.
But probably my favorite 'hair metal' song of all time that I unapologetically turn up to ridiculous volumes every time I hear it is appropriately titled "Turn Up the Radio"... Don't mind if I do
