Van Jovi Leppard

Theme: My favorite songs from Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. Inspiration: none. I was just thinking of the song "Rocket" from Def Leppard and couldn't, for the life of me, come up with who sang it. At first I thought Bon Jovi, but that wasn't right, so I tried Van Halen and nothing there. Finally, I came upon Def Leppard and sure enough, there it was. Through the process, though I realized that these 'hair bands' of the 80's, 90's and 2000's (although Bon Jovi has shorter hair now) had similar sounds, especially in the 80's and 90's, so why not make a playlist.
