Too many drugs, too many egos, and a lead singer who just didn't want to get along. Also, you forgot Winger, Cinderella, and Extreme. Of course, they're all the same band as Warrant. Concrete Blonde is an inspired choice; ditto the Pixies. But what about Dramarama? Having T.Rex as your chief influence meant the cutout bin in '92.

But they still rock.
