What ’80s band hit #1 with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"?
Nothing screams 1980s quite like spandex, giant hair, and heartfelt power ballads sung by dudes wearing more makeup than your mom. Among all the glam metal anthems, one band managed to turn their breakup blues into their biggest hit. Which glam metal band topped the charts in 1988 with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"?
▼
Correct Answer: Poison
Masters of mascara and mayhem, Poison, turned heartbreak into a Billboard chart hit. Frontman Bret Michaels wrote the power ballad after discovering his girlfriend was cheating on him. He actually wrote the song in a laundromat while on tour, strumming his guitar between wash cycles and probably getting some weird looks from other customers. The track spent three weeks at #1 and became the kind of classic that even hair metal haters can't help but sing along to.
