Who has never been a fan of big-hair metal bands, but recognizes there are levels of quality in any musical genre, and refuses to settle for lowest common denominator.

Funny thing is, this band knocked out some half-dozen charting singles in the 3 or 4 years they were relevant. Erstwhile singer Jani Lane has said numerous times that he despises "Cherry Pie" or, more specifically, the fact that he's remembered more for that song than any other. For (or despite) being pop-metal, Lane had some talent and could write a hit in his sleep if he'd get off the booze and the blow. I was never a fan of theirs (my friends and I wrote them off as bubblegum the first time around) but they're alright in a nostalgic way from this retired metalhead's vantage-point in the same way I give George Michael credit for the same thing, even though I personally have no use for that type of music.
EDIT: Sorry to everyone outside the U.S. who was not able to see the video; I was unaware that limitation existed.
