When I listen to rock, it is normally ACDC. They are by far my favorite rock band of the time period; however, a close second is Poison. Poison is an American band from Pennsylvania. In the early 1980s the grouping of Bret Michaels, Matt Smith, Bobby Dall, and Rikki Rocket started a band named Paris. They would play in local nightclubs and bars. After they realized they started to have a large local following, they decided to move out to Las Angeles, and change their name to Poison. It wasn't until roughly 1986 when they would catch their big break. However, once the band caught that break, there was no stopping them.
Poison would go on to perform for ten very successful years. They would sell over 45 million records world wide, and have 10 top forty songs, 6 of them being in the top ten. Ten years does not seem like a long time. However, the band was to stay in the starlight into the early 2000s when the band had a reunion tour.
I would consider Poison to be a hard rock band, but sometime they were able to take things down a few notches for more of a slow song. For example, their number one hit, "Every Rose Has its Thorn."
However, my favorite Poison song is, "Nothin' but a Good Time."
