Favourite Twisted Sister track is Hot Love by a mile but assumed it was a single since they made a music video for the track.

Don't Blame It On Love and Mr. Rainmaker are 2 of my favorites songs of all time.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Sorry to play the "too young to know" card, but I wasn't even born when most of this music was on the airwaves, so I rarely know which were the singles. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but these are the songs that come to mind:

Babylon AD - Bad Blood

Extreme - Am I Ever Gonna Change

Harem Scarem - Stranger than Love

Mr. Big - Alive and Kickin'

Queensryche - Neue Regel

Steelheart - Sheila

And I'm sure I'll think of more.

Pretty sure it was, but by then TS were pretty much done.
LIFS is a Dee album under the TS name to try and help it do well, ironically interest probably would have been greater if he released as a solo album.
So Hot Love did a little bt, but compared to the few big hits, nothing like it should have.

Thought of another one

Extreme - Unconditonally

[Darkstone]

Many to choose from, but here's a couple from AC/DC, a couple from Bon Jovi, one from Skid Row and one from GNR. I agree with KarpeyRyd about Alive and Kickin' and I'd also add Road to Ruin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[lettard]

Maybe not classed as Big bands but had some success,so ill put these in...

Sleeze Beez - Bring Out The Rebel

Pink Cream 69 - Don't Need Your Touch

Trixter - What It Takes

Ten - Barricade

Europe - Little Bit Of Lovin'

Boneyard - Little Angels

oh and that track from Bill & Ted Excellent adventure with the Nelson boys under Power Tool name..Two Heads Are Better Than One...pure party tune

Yeah, "Road to Ruin" is a close second. Or third. I dunno, I might put "My Kinda Woman" ahead. Anyway, all better than the singles. 

[dpwmetal]

Poison - Ball And Chain

[CureTheSane]

100% agree Wild Is The Wind

[tts42572]

Bon Jovi - Wild Is The Wind was the first to pop in my head also....One of my favorite Bon Jovi songs....should've been a bigger tune.

Warrant Mr Rainmaker also high on my list.  Great tune.

Def Leppard - Scar is another....Probably the best tune on the X album that got totally ignored.

And for a more current choice, Def Leppard - Wings Of An Angel.  Probably my favorite song on their last album that didn't get any single treatment and hasn't been played live.

Great call,by far the best tune they've released in a long long time

[Darkstone]

Along with CureTheSane, I am 100% a Van Hagar man. I love DLR also, but if I had to choose it would definitely be Sammy. I always thought of this track as his "Hot for Teacher" moment. You could probably add this one to the "Corona playlist" as well

On a side note, this was the first CD I ever owned.
